Trump bragged about having the tallest building in NY after terrorists took out the Twin Towers on 9/11. Then, 24 years later, he complimented and shook the hand of a man who ~~ordered~~ inspired and cheered for the attacks, in front of the US Secretary of Commerce whose brother and staff were killed.
But sure, tell me how the front-runner for mayor being a member of the same religion is the bigger deal.
Who was the person he complimented and shook the hand of? Sounds hyperbolic but I’m interested to know anyway.
I assume they're talking about Ahmad al-Sharaa: https://abcnews.go.com/International/al-qaeda-syrias-presidency-rise-ahmad-al-sharaa/story?id=121788656 although I'm unsure about the claim of "ordering the attacks"
The depressing thing is that I thought they were referring to the Saudis and the latest U.S. investment trip.
Thanks! That article suggests another was the plotter:
“Unlike some terrorist leaders -- including Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the late leader of the Islamic State jihadist group, and Ayman al-Zawahiri, the late al-Qaeda chief and accused plotter of the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- al-Sharaa has not been known as a charismatic leader, said Warrick.”
Not to mention that al-Sharaa was a 19-year-old with no known status in any groups at the time of the 9/11 attacks.
That's quite a claim to provide without evidence.
I was referring to Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa aka: Abu Mohammad al-Jawlani. I read that he was directly responsible for the attacks when the video first released. Now there’s more information available, and it appears he just inspired and cheered for them. I edited my comment for accuracy.
And you still managed to provide zero evidence.
