      I recall others thinking it.

      Speaking out against him was in line with being against the Iraq war.

      The country had a psychotic episode.

      Those caught up in it were enjoying the ride.

      The rest were vilified for pointing out the obvious.

      Rudy being “America’s Mayor” was never about Rudy.

      George W. Bush went into 9-11 being absolutely despised by half the country. He was an idiot. The election was stolen for him by Republican supreme Court justices.

      These terrorist attacks happened on Bush’s watch, and we saw him sit there for 7 minutes or so, doing absolutely nothing after he found out the nation was under attack.

      Much the same way that the left was happy about the NY governor during Covid. They were happy to embrace any leader other than the moron in chief.

      But people who were paying attention understood that Rudy’s primary contribution to 9-11 is that he had moved the disaster response HQ INTO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER (before 9-11 obviously, BUT AFTER THAT BUILDING WAS ALREADY THE TARGET OF A TERRORIST ATTACK LESS THAN 10 YEARS PRIOR).
