A radical Iowa Democrat pastor running for Congress has sparked outrage after revealing that her main takeaway from the September 11 terrorist attacks was concern about 'anti-Muslim bigotry' rather than the 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered by Islamic extremists.
Sarah Trone Garriott, a Lutheran minister seeking a congressional seat, penned an opinion piece defending her controversial 2021 decision to read a Muslim prayer in the Iowa Senate. In the piece, Garriott claimed that 9/11 made her more aware of 'anti-Muslim bigotry' and the 'harm' it caused - completely ignoring the actual harm caused by radical Islamic terrorists who flew planes into buildings.
This is the warped mindset of today's Democratic Party, folks. While normal Americans remember 9/11 as the day foreign terrorists declared war on our homeland and slaughtered thousands of our fellow citizens, woke leftists like Garriott somehow twisted that tragedy into a lesson about protecting the feelings of the very religious group whose extremists carried out the attacks.
Priorities Completely Backwards
Garriott's statement perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the radical left's approach to national security and American values. Instead of focusing on the real victims - the firefighters, police officers, office workers, and airline passengers who died that day - she's more concerned about potential hurt feelings.
This is exactly the kind of America-Last thinking that President Trump swept out of Washington, and it's why voters rejected Democrats so decisively in 2024.
While Trump's second-term administration works to secure our borders and put America First, Democrats like Garriott are still playing the same tired identity politics game that prioritizes political correctness over patriotism.
Iowa voters deserve better than a congressional candidate who can't even properly honor the victims of 9/11. Will they reject this woke nonsense at the ballot box, or will they send another radical leftist to Washington?
