Whistleblower complaint involves 'multiple acts' by Trump, report says – as it happened

In a 2012 radio interview with a prominent 9/11 conspiracy theorist, Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson said that having “questions” about 9/11 was understandable, and that she herself had questions about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, CNN reported.

Williamson’s comment came during a 2012 radio interview on Truth Jihad, hosted by conspiracy theorist Kevin Barrett. The prominent self-help writer was responding to Barrett’s account of being “chased out of the academy” for “questions surrounding what really happened on September 11, 2001.”

During the interview, Barrett, the conspiracy theorist, called the United States “pretty fascist” for its treatment of 9/11 “truthers.”

“If that means that you can’t even come close to telling the truth about the most important event of the century and still have a job as a professor, or at least you’re risking your job -- then we’re pretty fascist,” Barrett said during the interview.

“Yeah, I couldn’t agree with you more,” Williamson said. “And I think, listen, to have questions about 9/11, to me, is no different than having questions about the Warren Commission [which investigated Kennedy’s assassination]. And I don’t believe in the single bullet theory of the Kennedy assassination either.”

While Williamson offered “some push back against Barrett’s worldview,” during the interview, she “failed to challenge” his views about 9/11, CNN wrote.

Williamson has done multiple interviews with other 9/11 conspiracy theorists, CNN reported, but did not discuss conspiracy about the 2001 terror attacks in those other interviews.

Williamson’s campaign manager told CNN that the appearances were “not an endorsement of the hosts philosophy or ideas,” adding “she’s talking about her ideas, not theirs.”
