A radical Iowa Democrat pastor seeking a congressional seat has sparked outrage after revealing that the September 11 terrorist attacks taught her about "anti-Muslim bigotry" rather than Islamic extremism—showing just how warped the left's priorities have become.
Sarah Trone Garriott, a Lutheran minister who previously served in the Iowa Senate, made the jaw-dropping comments in an opinion piece defending her controversial decision to read a Muslim prayer on the Senate floor in 2021. Instead of honoring the nearly 3,000 Americans slaughtered by Islamic terrorists, Garriott used the national tragedy to virtue signal about alleged discrimination.
"The September 11 attacks made me more aware of anti-Muslim bigotry and the harm it caused," Garriott wrote, demonstrating the twisted worldview that has infected the Democratic Party. This is the same mindset that prioritizes the feelings of potential terrorists over the safety of American citizens.
Another Radical Democrat Agenda
Garriott's comments perfectly encapsulate everything wrong with today's Democratic Party. While normal Americans remember 9/11 as a day when Islamic extremists murdered innocent people in the name of their radical ideology, Democrats like Garriott see it as an opportunity to lecture Americans about tolerance.
This is the same party that spent years downplaying Islamic terrorism while President Trump was rebuilding America's defenses and taking out terrorists like ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Now they want to send another radical leftist to Congress who thinks the real victims of 9/11 were Muslims facing "bigotry."
"What's next? Are we going to start apologizing to the Taliban for hurting their feelings when we fought back?"
Iowa voters need to ask themselves: Do they want someone representing them in Congress who thinks America was the real villain on September 11th? Garriott's warped priorities show she's more interested in pushing woke talking points than defending the American people who would elect her.
Patriots in Iowa have a choice to make. Will they stand with America First candidates who remember that our enemies attacked us—or will they send another radical Democrat to Washington who thinks we deserved it?
