OUTRAGEOUS: Iowa Democrat Pastor Says 9/11 Taught Her About 'Anti-Muslim Bigotry' - Not Terrorism

A radical Iowa Democrat running for Congress just revealed exactly what's wrong with the modern left - and it's more disgusting than you can imagine. Lutheran minister Sarah Trone Garriott actually had the audacity to claim that September 11th taught her about "anti-Muslim bigotry" rather than the very real threat of Islamic terrorism.

Let that sink in, Patriots. While 2,977 innocent Americans were murdered by Islamic terrorists, this so-called "pastor" was apparently more concerned about hurt feelings than dead bodies.

Garriott made these outrageous comments in an opinion piece defending her controversial 2021 decision to read a Muslim prayer in the Iowa Senate - a move that rightfully drew fierce criticism from actual Americans who remember what happened on 9/11.

The Left's Twisted Priorities on Full Display

This is the same warped thinking that has infected the Democrat Party from top to bottom. Instead of learning that radical Islam poses a genuine threat to American lives and values, Garriott decided the real lesson was that Americans are somehow the problem for being justifiably concerned about terrorism.

What's next? Will she claim Pearl Harbor taught her about anti-Japanese sentiment? That the Holocaust was really about anti-German bigotry?

This woman wants to represent Iowans in Congress, but she clearly represents the radical left's America-last agenda. While President Trump has been working tirelessly to protect Americans from terrorism and restore our national security, Democrats like Garriott are more worried about political correctness than protecting lives.

"The harm caused by anti-Muslim bigotry" - Sarah Trone Garriott's actual words about 9/11

The fact that a supposed "minister" would twist the greatest terrorist attack in American history into a lecture about tolerance shows just how completely the left has abandoned American values. This isn't Christianity - it's woke ideology wearing a clerical collar.

Iowa voters deserve better than someone who thinks Americans are the real problem. They deserve representatives who will stand with President Trump in defending our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic - including the radical ideology that murdered thousands of our fellow citizens on September 11th.

I'm from Iowa and this embarrasses me. We used to have common sense leaders here who understood right from wrong.

Same here. This isn't the Iowa values I grew up with. Vote better, people!

Never forget means NEVER FORGET who the real victims were and who the perpetrators were. Period.

How is this person even called a pastor? Whatever happened to moral clarity and standing up for what's right?

Progressive theology has infected too many churches. This is the sad result.

This is exactly what's wrong with the left today - they twist a national tragedy into victimhood for everyone except the actual victims. 3,000 Americans died that day!

Absolutely disgusting. I lost a buddy in Tower 2 and this kind of rhetoric makes my blood boil.

Unbelievable that someone can be this tone-deaf about the worst terrorist attack in American history.

How does someone become this disconnected from reality? Serious question - what seminary teaches this kind of backwards thinking?

The mental gymnastics required to make Islamic terrorists the victims of 9/11 is Olympic-level delusion.

My husband served three tours fighting the same ideology that killed 2,977 innocent people on 9/11. This pastor needs a serious reality check.
