GOP House candidate refers to “the so-called plane that crashed into the Pentagon. Odd there’s never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon.”

This is insane. And of course patently false. https://twitter.com/ehananoki/status/1293951126950285318
2/ There is of course plenty of evidence of American Airlines Flight 77, with 58 passengers and a crew of 6, crashing into the Pentagon on 9/11, killing 125 people working there.

It’s hard to know how to even respond to such completely deranged conspiracy theories.
3/ First off, there's plenty of evidence for anyone who wants to look for it using, say, Google.

Here's the Arlington Fire Department after action report.

4/ Second, what a complete insult to almost 200 victims, including conservative author Barbara Olson...
5/ Or 11 year old Bernard Brown
6/ Or 11 year old Asia SiVon Cottom
7/ Or 11 year old Rodney Dickens
8/ Or Dana Falkenberg, 3, and Zoe Falkenberg, 8
9/ Here's a memorial video for those on the flight:
10/ 125 people at the Pentagon were killed, including Lt GEN Timothy Maude, an Army Deputy Chief of Staff.
11/ This GOP candidate's response has been to say that almost 19 years after the 9/11 attack, NOW she knows the truth: "The problem is our government lies to us so much to protect the Deep State, it's hard sometimes to know what is real and what is not." https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1293975383080148992
12/ There was once a time when spewing "9/11 truther" lies would be disqualifying for a candidate. No longer. She is being welcomed with open arms by the MAGA Caucus. What an absolute disgrace. https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1294010158209806337
