(Jewish Group) Former Congresswoman Tweets Bizarre Image Stating That 'Zionists' Did 9/11

[Behind the Aegis]

For 12 years Democrat Cynthia McKinney represented Georgians in the U.S. House of Representatives, but on Monday she represented some of the worst the internet has to offer. McKinney tweeted an image of the Twin Towers ablaze as if part of a jigsaw puzzle. McKinney wrote, “The Final Piece of the Puzzle…” The text on the image says, “Zionists did it.”

The tweet repeats a favorite claim of some 9/11 conspiracists, who believe Israel perpetrated the attacks to lure the U.S. into a Middle Eastern war and destroy rival countries. A corollary to this theory stated that no Jews died during the 9/11 attacks because those who worked in the towers had foreknowledge. This is also wrong.

McKinney has a history of anti-Semitic rhetoric. Last year, she misrepresented the contents of the article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which referred to a database that identified 4.8 million victims by name, while the rest “have yet to be discovered, and may never be known.” But that’s not how McKinney described the data.

1. She's a nut. Its shameful how she has devolved into a hateful nut job. I am glad she no longer

reps my old district and was replaced by Rep Hank Johnson. Every time I am in that neighborhood and drive down Cynthia McKinney Parkway, I cringe. There's been an effort to change the name for a few years now.
