Thread of U.S. POLITICIANS who have questioned the official narrative of 9/11. Feel free to drop examples below (ideally with quotation and link).
SEN. BOB GRAHAM: "I no longer use the words cover up...I find more accurate the words aggressive deception. The federal government has attempted to rewrite the narrative of 9/11 in order to exclude the role of the Saudis from that horrific story." therealnews.com/sen-bob-graham…
SEN. BOB KERREY: "'There's reason now to suspect that we [the 9/11 Commission] may have gotten some of the details wrong' about the 9/11 plot and about Al Qaeda." newsweek.com/911-commission…
SEN. MAX CLELAND: "As each day goes by, we learn that this government knew a whole lot more about these terrorists before Sept. 11 than it has ever admitted." nytimes.com/2003/10/26/us/…
President JIMMY CARTER: "[W]hen asked if he’d support family members who want a new investigation into 9/11, [Carter] stated, 'Yeah, I don’t have anything to do with it, but I certainly would. It would be nice.'" amny.com/news/9-11-trut…
SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER: "I think [a new 9/11 investigation] is not a bad idea. You know, you’ve got to do it in a good way, but, yes, I’d be for it." amny.com/news/9-11-trut…
SEN. KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND: "Based on what you’ve just told me [about evidence of explosives in the WTC debris], and that 70% of family members questions were not answered during the commission hearings, I think those questions should be answered." 911blogger.com/news/2009-06-1…
Vice President WALTER MONDALE:
Question: Would you support a new investigation into 9/11?
Mondale: "Yeah, because, 'Why did it happen?' We need that phase two. They never did it."

SEN. MIKE GRAVEL: "There's no question in my mind that 9/11 was an inside job. We killed 58,000 American servicemen in the Vietnam War...What's so unusual about killing 3,000 more...to empower into infinity the military industrial complex?" vice.com/en/article/wjm…
MN Gov. JESSE VENTURA: "Unanswered questions remain about how the towers were brought down, and whether a plane really struck the Pentagon. The Bush Administration either knew about the plan and allowed it to proceed, or they had a hand in it themselves." today.com/popculture/jes…
MN GOV./SEN. MARK DAYTON:
Q: Do you support a new investigation into 9/11?
DAYTON: You know I'm not a Senator any more, but I would support one...
Q: Excellent. Have you heard the evidence of a cover-up?
DAYTON: Nothing I would hear would surprise me.

SEN. LINCOLN CHAFEE: Commissioner of a ballot initiative for "a NYC Independent Commission with Subpoena Power to Conduct a Comprehensive and Fact-Driven Investigation of All Relevant Aspects of the Tragic Events of September 11, 2001 and Issue a Report." nationalreview.com/the-campaign-s…
NH Gov. WALTER PETERSON: "That [video of the Twin Towers collapse] raised questions because that’s not how a building would fall if it was attacked...there were certainly a lot of serious questions raised about what happened there." nhtruth.blogspot.com/2010/05/911-ef…
REP. CYNTHIA MCKINNEY: "The FIRST Question I was asked after landing in Europe was about 9/11 Truth (NO ONE believes the official 9/11 LIE); This [article on Mossad foreknowledge of 9/11] gets us closer to 9/11 Truth."

REP. RON PAUL: "[A]ll government commissions are designed to protect the government…I believe that if we ever get the full truth [about 9/11], we'll find out that our government had it in the records exactly what the plans were, or at least close to it." thedailybeast.com/ron-paul-dons-…
REP. NANCY PELOSI: "As good as the joint inquiry and its report are, they are not as complete as they could have been. We repeatedly encountered obstacles in getting necessary information from the Bush Administration." (h/t @_AdamFitzgerald) pelosi.house.gov/sites/pelosi.h…
Rep. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: "It’s odd, there’s never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon." (h/t @nucholibre) chicagotribune.com/nation-world/c…
@nucholibre Rep. TULSI GABBARD: "[T]he American people still do not have the truth about Saudi Arabia and who helped Al Qaeda carry out these attacks...The truth is being withheld from the families of those who were killed on 9/11." (h/t @BackWoodBandit7) mauinow.com/2019/10/30/rep…
President DONALD TRUMP: "[I]t wasn’t the Iraqis, you will find out who really knocked down the World Trade Center, because they have papers in there that are very secret, you may find it’s the Saudis, okay? But you will find out." (h/t @mjCarefree) 28pages.org/2016/02/19/tru…

REP. CURT WELDON: "For the 9/11 Commission to say that [Able Danger] does not exist is just absolutely outrageous. It is a total denial of the facts...There's something wrong here, something tragically wrong." curtweldon.net/wp-content/upl…
SEN. ROBERT BYRD: "Intel Community knew…there is a track record of bin Laden using aircraft as weapons…In light of the alert and the Paris incident…why is it that AWACS radar planes were not sent aloft to guard against this danger?" (h/t @911JusticeNow)
