The Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan, a Republican has condemned his party’s nomination for the state attorney general on Sunday, following a CNN report which revealed how the nominee spread conspiracy theories about the September 11, 2001 attacks on a radio show he co-hosted about 15 years ago, The Hill reports.
Michael
Peroutka, who won the Republican primary earlier this month said it was “very,
very true” that demolition charges were present in the World Trade Center
before the attacks, during an October 2006 episode of “The American View,”
according to The Hill. He also reportedly questioned if an “elite bureaucrat” may
have charges in every building in the city.
“We know who
was responsible for 9/11,” Hogan tweeted Sunday. “Blaming our country for
Al-Qaeda’s atrocities is an insult to the memory of the thousands of innocent
Americans and brave first responders who died that day. These disgusting lies
don’t belong in our party.”
Twin Towers fell as a result of controlled explosives - Peroutka
Peroutka
suggested during the 2006 radio episode the Twin Towers fell as a result of
controlled explosives, The Hill cited a report by CNN.
“I’ve been
doing some reading and doing some studying, and I believe that to be very, very
true,” Peroutka said, according to the outlet.
“And I said
that if the buildings in New York City, the World Trade Center buildings, came
down by demolition charges – that is to say – if there was this evidence that
there was that something was preset there, then the implications of that are
massive,” he continued.
CNN reported
that Peroutka on the show also suggested that Building Seven which was part of
the World Trade Center complex and located close by to the Twin Towers fell as
a result of a controlled demolition and claimed the building fell faster than the
speed of gravity, The Hill reported.
“That begs the question that if there are preset charges in Building Seven, what’s to stop there for being preset charges in Buildings 1, 2 8, 9, and 27?” Peroutka said.
“Are there
charges in every building in New York City? Is everyone ready to be brought
down whenever some elite bureaucrat decides that he’s gonna pull it?” Peroutka
added.
