According to Media Matters, Kilmeade made an on-air suggestion to Trump that former Bill Clinton was to blame for 9/11 nine months after he was out of office.
Never my fault Bush......
Maybe never my fault Bush should have dropped out and let Gore become President if the job was too much for him.

(10,279 posts)The anti-terrorism program put in place by the Clinton Administration failed 8 months after the end of that administration. Without Bush Administration doing daily inspections, corrections, and refocusing on highest threats, the system failed before the Bush Administration could complete its 48-month period and exit while the Clinton warranty was still in effect. That is clearly faulty work by the Clinton people. Give Bush a break -- who does work that lasts only 8 months? Clearly, Clinton doesn't.

(33,688 posts)Faux catapults. In a year or two most of those chowderheads will actually believe that Clinton was president on 9/11 and His Chimperial Fraudulency magically became POTUS on 9/12.
Goebbels wrote Ailes' business plan decades ago:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
And when TPTB own ALL the major media, keeping the truth from the people is actually the easiest bit.

(182,717 posts)1. Blame Bill Clinton.
The Bush White House did this repeatedly with their "we'd only been in office for 8 months" (Condi used "222 days" for a couple of days until even the fawning press called them in it). Oh and remember how the whole thing was the result of a memo by 9-11 Commission member Jamie Gorelick? The message was clear.
2. Illegal immigration. I heard gas bag on the radio today saying that Trump is really just highlighting his prime issue - illegal immigration. Of course, the 9/11 terrorists were here legally on visas but his believers aren't going to remember that because no one will mention it.
3. Try to resurrect W's greatest hour. Yes this was the only supposed high point of his disaster - 3,000 people murdered. It's their greatest thing ever. They held their convention in NYC in 2004 virtually dancing on the graves.
You watch. The rest of the media will in some way follow Fox on this.
