Marianne Williamson's Anti-Semitic
9/11 Conspiracy
Mediaite's Reed Richardson has more:
According to a CNN story, Williamson made numerous questionable comments while appearing on the fringe radio show Truth Jihad, which is hosted by Kevin Barrett, who lost his job in academia for relentlessly pushing outlandish and unproven anti-government propaganda. During the show, the New Age guru didn't push back when Barrett floated his baseless myths that a "Zionist organized crime outfit" was the real culprit behind the 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City, the Pentagon, and a downed airliner in Pennsylvania.
"I think the Republicans are in the hands of the Zionist organized crime outfit that has been dedicated to going to a war with Iran ever since they blew up the Trade Towers," Barrett said during their conversation.
"So you think that the Zionist organized crime unit were the ones who did 9/11?" Williamson responded, propagating rather than challenging the false smear.
"Absolutely, just Google Larry Silverstein," Barrett said, referencing the Jewish real estate developer who helped build the Ground Zero site in Manhattan.
In response to press inquiries, Williamson's campaign manager denied the candidate ever propagated hateful and demonstrably untrue conspiracy theories.
