NYC—all the way up to the tip of the island—smelled like two skyscrapers and two jets were burning for weeks and weeks after 9/11, but sure, I guess four middle aged elected officials standing outside a parking lot in business casual attire waiting to be let to do oversight is worse - ThreadSky

Republican member of Congress accuses Democrats who inspected an ICE facility of “insurrection” that’s “worse than 9/11.”

These people are fucking insane.

Everyone remembers that smell. It took a couple of days to move up the island.

“Insurrection” is pretty rich coming from the party of January 6

A replacement level opposition party would be able to make them pay for this. Chuck and Hakeem ain't it.

They are looking for a reason to put the Constitution out of order. It's happening

Comparing the incident to 9/11 is beyond the pale. That was a legitimate terrorist attack that took thousands of American lives in a horrific way. Using that national memory and grief for propaganda just goes to show this regime can get lower in our estimation.

What an appalling and disgracefully comparison for him to make. I would advise him if he is ever foolish enough to set foot in the NY metro area...bring security.

Impersonating a member of Congress is a federal crime, specifically under 18 U.S.C. § 912, which covers falsely assuming to be an officer or employee of the United States and acting in that assumed character. This crime carries a penalty of a fine and/or imprisonment for up to three years.

Real tired as a NewYorker of all these dipshits using my city to both point to as the worst hellhole on earth while at the same time the very precious thing that needed to be defended at all costs to fulfill their patriotic fever dreams.

No one was ever gonna bomb the Walmart in Tunafish Alabama

They just keep saying anything and you keep giving them a bigger and bigger audience 🤣.

I lived in NYC before, during, and after the 9/11 attacks. This statement by someone without that experience, is deeply offensive.
DEEPLY. 😡

Got to keep in mind that modern day Republicans actively want New York to blow up so they're not turned off by that stuff

The stupid is strong with these folks…

For a guy from North Carolina to say this to, and about, people from New Jersey is especially insane.

Good bet that guy believes 3,000 “crisis actors” live fabulously on Soros’ double-top secret hidden tropical islands.
