Farrakhan Defends Omar’s 9/11 Remarks, Appealing to Conspiracy Theories
“There were many Israelis and Zionist Jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks,” he said in 2015.
Nation of Islam founder and notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan defended Representative Ilhan Omar’s glib description of the September 11 attacks Monday by dismissing the attacks as nothing more than a false-flag operation designed to draw the U.S. into Middle Eastern conflicts.
In a video posted to YouTube last year and tweeted out Monday by the Nation of Islam account, Farrakhan accuses the Bush administration of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks in order “to get the country into war at the expense of young patriotic men and women.”
“3,133 Scientists Back Ilhan Omar on 9/11 Deep skepticism exists about the gov’t version of 9/11. Many experts—architects & engineers—say the World Trade Center Towers were destroyed in a controlled demolition. Listen to @LouisFarrakhan #IStandWithIlhan,” reads the tweet, which includes a link to the video.
The tweet expresses Farrakhan’s support for Omar, who has received an onslaught of criticism from Republican lawmakers and conservative pundits for using the phrase “some people did something” to describe the World Trade Center attacks, which killed more than 3,000 Americans.
Farrakhan has previously blamed a cabal of highly placed Jewish government officials for helping to execute the attacks.
“There were many Israelis and Zionist Jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks,” he said in 2015.
