North Carolina Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Is A Truther
Greg Bannon, who would like to be North Carolina’s next senator, is a truther.
In 2012, Greg Brannon, who is now a North Carolina Republican Senate candidate, wouldn’t say whether he thought the attacks on September 11, 2001, were an inside job—but, he said, “Things like this have to be asked.”
Brannon, an OB-GYN endorsed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and a leading contender in the GOP primary to challenge Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), made that comment as a guest on a local conservative talk show. At the time, Brannon was running Founder’s Truth, a North Carolina tea party organization. A caller offered up a conspiracy theory about September 11, and as the host, Bill LuMaye, tried to redirect the conversation, Brannon answered…
And he answered by saying more questions needed to be answered about 9/11:
These questions, again, actually, that’s what [9/11 commission vice-chair] Lee Hamilton said. And he just said, there’s other questions that need answering. The guy who got all the information…a Democrat and a Republican, were the co-chairmen of the 9/11 commission, and when they got done, they did not put their stamp of approval on the commission. They said, ‘There’s data that we did not put in there.’ So things like this have to be asked.
