Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard floats 9/11 conspiracy theory
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard wants Americans to believe that their government has concealed the truth about the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
There are reasons galore to question U.S.-Saudi ties or be skeptical of Saudi denials of responsibility for catastrophes — as the slow, painful revelation of the truth about Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi’s killing shows. “I hope that the release of these pages, with appropriate redactions necessary to protect our nation’s intelligence sources and methods, will diminish speculation that they contain proof of official Saudi government or senior Saudi official involvement in the 9/11 attacks,” Schiff said. “I know that the release of these pages will not end debate over the issue, but it will quiet rumors over their contents – as is often the case, the reality is less damaging than the uncertainty.
In recent years, Congress has pressured Saudi Arabia in ways that it hadn’t for decades over the kingdom’s brutal conduct in a four-year military intervention in Yemen and its role in Khashoggi’s murder. Lawmakers are willing to flex their muscles for a range of reasons, from growing U.S. energy independence to public distaste toward Trump’s cozy relationship with the Saudis’ de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
For an American with Gabbard’s prominence to speak in this darkly paranoid way is a boon for leaders like Assad and Russian President Vladimir Putin. It bolsters their strategy of pointing to American failings, real or imagined, to distract from their own abuses and of trying to undermine public faith in the U.S. political system to delegitimize democracy and shore up their own tyrannical rule.
