GOP Sen. Ron Johnson Wants To Hold Hearings On A 9/11 Conspiracy Theory

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) said he’s hoping to hold hearings over a conspiracy theory about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

During an interview on conservative activist Benny Johnson’s podcast this Monday, the senator spoke about a long-debunked claim about Building 7, a building in the World Trade Center complex that collapsed hours after the Twin Towers had been brought down by airliners.

“I don’t know that you can find structural engineers other than the ones that had the corrupt investigation inside [the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Nist)] that would say that – that [building] didn’t come down in any other way than a controlled demolition,” the Wisconsin senator stated.

“You listen to the documentary Bravo 7, there’s an awful lot of questions, you know, ‘Who ordered the removal and the destruction of all that evidence?’ Totally contrary to any other firefighting investigation procedures,” he added. “I mean, who ordered that? Who is in charge? I think there’s some basic information.
