Former Rep. Cynthia McKinney on 9/11: ‘Zionists did it’

The Black Minstrel Cynthia McKinney

Jihad Watch : A hard Leftist such as Cynthia McKinney has trouble acknowledging that people belonging to one of the Left’s favored victim groups, Muslims, could have been responsible for 9/11. It was much more likely to have been people from a group she hates, and so, in keeping with the Left’s increasing anti-Semitism, she blames Jews.

“Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney Tweets That ‘Zionists’ Did 9/11,” by Benjamin Kerstein, Algemeiner, June 28, 2021 (thanks to the Geller Report):

Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who has long been noted for antisemitic and conspiratorial statements, tweeted on Monday that “Zionists” committed the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

McKinney — who served in Congress from 1993-2003 and 2005-2007 as a Democratic Representative from Georgia — posted an image to Twitter on Monday showing the twin towers of the World Trade Center ablaze on 9/11, presented as a jigsaw puzzle.

Over the words “the final piece of the puzzle,” a hand inserts the last piece, forming the words “Zionists did it.” It was not the first time McKinney has engaged in antisemitism.

In May 2020, she posted several Holocaust denying tweets. Linking to an article from the Israeli daily Haaretz that explored the issue of how the number of victims of the Holocaust was calculated, she commented, “So, the figure wasn’t six million after all?? What about those punished and even imprisoned for saying so?? Is this a ‘You can’t say, but I can’ kind of thing??”…

McKinney has accused Israel of genocide; referred to the pro-Israel lobby as a “ruthless” entity that “rears its ugly head in too many facets of life in this country, particularly political life” and engineered her political defeats; and personally met with representatives of Hezbollah and Hamas.

She also referred to US President Donald Trump as a “Zionist puppet.”
