GOP Congressman Slammed for Calling 9/11 Simply a Plane Crash
GOP Congressman from California, Darrell Issa, has come under fire, and rightfully so, for referring to 9/11 as “simply” a plane crash during a hearing on Federal funding for 9/11 victims:
WASHINGTON – The California congressman who called the Sept. 11 attacks “simply” a plane crash ran for cover Wednesday under a barrage of ridicule from fellow Republicans, first responders and victims’ families.
San Diego GOP Rep. Darrell Issa was under siege for suggesting the federal government had already done enough to help New York cope with “a fire” that “simply was an aircraft” hitting the World Trade Center.
Obviously the opposition party and of course, the families of the victims are going to be critical of these comments, both for difference reasons, but let’s focus on reaction from Issa’s GOP colleagues:
“New York was attacked by Al Qaeda. It doesn’t have to be attacked by Congress,” added Long Island Rep. Pete King, a Republican.
“I’m really surprised by Darrell Issa,” King added. “It showed such a cavalier dismissal of what happened to New York. It’s wrong and inexcusable.”
“It seems that with the passage of time, something happened along the way where the scope of the problem and the real extent of the problem has not drifted out to California,” fumed Staten Island GOP Rep. Vito Fossella.
Issa is most known for, well before this anyway, leading and funding the successful recall effort against former Governor Gray Davis.
While the issue of Federal aid and the amount and length for anything, is certainly a debatable topic, the reasons that Issa stated for stopping funding to New York are certainly are not acceptable.
