Saw Congressman Ed Markey (D) on L.O. tonight...

Consistently invoked 911 over and over again tonight...
I’m just wondering? If it was evident immediately after the bombing that the people or person who
inflicted the damage was a home grown national, a persons who had some sort of revenge motive
against some or any aspect of our govt. or society,( Timothy McVeigh ), Do you think 911
would be invoked by as much as it is now?

I think its absolutely horrible that this horrendous incident is being conflated with 911..
Its a very simple way that politicians and media can gain more attention to themselves in order
to advance their agendas...

Republicans are definitely pushing the foreign terrorist scenario and I can’t believe no one is calling them out....

And to all those out there who think I’m politicizing this. I guess I fucking am...
