The anti-vaccine conspiracist said he’s not quite sure he buys the “official explanation” about 9/11, adding that it should be “permissible” to “question official narratives.”
During a wide-ranging podcast interview with CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen, Kennedy eventually brought up 9/11, prompting Bergen to ask whether the presidential hopeful bought the bipartisan 9/11 commission’s“I don’t know what happened on 9/11,” Kennedy hedged. “I mean, I understand what the official explanation is, I understand that there is dissent. I have not looked into it. I haven’t examined it. I’m not a good person to talk to about it.
A veteran reporter who landed the first TV interview with Osama bin Laden, Bergen wondered if there was “doubt” in Kennedy’s mind that al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks. “I know there’s strange things that happened that don’t seem—,” Kennedy replied, prompting Bergen to ask what “strange things” he was talking about.
“Well, one of the buildings came down that wasn’t hit by a plane, so, you know, was it Building 7 or Building 10?” Kennedy retorted, invokingAfter Bergen argued that the building collapsed due to two of the world’s tallest skyscrapers coming down around it, Kennedy pushed back, calling Bergen’s explanation untrue.
“No, they didn’t collapse on top of it. My offices were down there,” he declared, adding: “There’s pictures of it collapsing. There’s nothing collapsing on top of it. I mean, I listen, I don’t want to argue any theories about this because all I’ve heard is questions. I have no explanation. I have no knowledge of it.
