"September 11th was 25 years ago" -- Ted Cruz defends Trump lying about his response to 9/11 but suggesting he might not remember because it was so long ago

Time passing doesn’t cause you to remember things that never happened. Time is more likely to lose the things that did. Delusional maybe. Cruz knows Trump is a liar.

I remember the sandwich type and Root Beer brand that was before me on 9/11. I can even describe the shirt I was wearing. It was an " everybody knows where they were moment. On par with JFK or Pearl Harbor, though I was too young for those; yet we all have family to attest. What an absolute Goober

For several weeks, Trump has been so far gone, he does not even realize when he's mispronouncing words any more. That is why he stopped delivering his absurd "alternatives" as self-(non-)corrections. And yet the crime syndicate keeps wheeling him out. Trump Dementia thread: bsky.app/profile/idio...

Every adult American knows exactly where they were the morning of 9/11. I’m pretty sure none of us recall seeing or hearing about NYFD heros pulling a 250lb pile of vile human excrement out of any location. This man belongs in a straight jacket in a padded cell. I hate him to his sick rotting core.

So, Krasnov can't be expected to pass any cognitive test. Man, plane, tower, TV interview "I now own the tallest building in NYC", rubble, big strong firefighters with tears in their eyes, 25th Amendment.

9/11 is one of those true “where were you moments”. I’m 46 and I know exactly where I was when it unfolded. The only news that comes close for me is Princess Diana’s death for “where were you?” This is just Cruz admitting Trump’s brain is mush.

On 9/11 I was 12. I was in my first period study class in the school cafeteria, eating a sausage egg and cheese on an English muffin, when my friend came in late after having a dentist appointment told us that two planes hit buildings in New York. If a child can remember that, he can remember.

It isn't even a memory problem. He didn't forget what happened that day, he invented an entire new story with himself as a hero. That is a sign of a serious neurological/psychological problem that should disqualify him as POTUS.

“I have every doubt…” says Rafael. Hey, Rafael, we have “every doubt” too. Every thing that comes out of Trump is a lie. In fact we have every doubt that he has ever told the truth in his life. #worstPOTUSever

Not remembering certain details of a day 25 years ago versus making up a wildly ridiculous story about where you were, what you were doing and how much of a hero you were are two completely different things.

Remember when Trump pulled John McCain out of the wreckage of his fighter plane and carried him through the rice patties. Donald left John in some elephant grass while he killed 17 NVA soldiers with his bare hands and Donald escaped. Right? ...thats why Donald is going to get the Medal of Honor.

Ted Cruz is absurd. Chump wasn’t sharing his feelings, he fabricated a fantastical narrative that didn’t happen. He was either willfully lying or he’s absolutely nuts. In either case he’s completely unfit to be president. If Ted were a smart politician (spoiler-he’s not) he’d start distancing now!

I was pier side on the USS John F Kennedy at NS Mayport. We had flown down from NAS Oceana the day before for a scheduled underway starting on the 11th. We were still at the pier when the first plane hit, the ship cut off external broadcasts after the second and went to GQ. Once we were

unmoored the remaining ships in port had to wait for us to be turned around. Once we cleared the channel an impromptu battle group was formed around us and we spent about a week of the coast of the mid Atlantic. If I can remember that Ted, someone should be able to remember being a first responder

All the way here in Los Angeles, and I remember every second of that morning. Since I started at the gym at 5:30 a.m. and a radio station was playing live over the PA system, the DJ interrupted his set to say "a commercial airplane just flew into a WTC tower." Everyone stopped what they were doing.

I'm 3 yrs younger than the Orange Coated Shit Bag, and I remember that day vividly. I also had a stroke since and am in failing health, but the memory is as clear to me as it always was, not a word of my actions/reaction has changed in 25 years. Oh and Rafael Cruz is still a pinche culo.

Trump “9-11 was a defining moment where everyone remembers exactly where they were”. Also Trump: makes up a bunch of shit about where he was to make it all about him.

After the first plane hit, my phone rang. A professor asked if we were canceling class and told me what happened. We didn't cancel class but the campus gathered as a community. I am 76. If I can remember that, he should be able to remember that he wasn't even there. Something is seriously wrong.

Their dear moron leader can do no wrong for these bastards. History will one day repudiate the banana Republicans for standing with, supporting and defending him

I remember exactly what I was doing. I remember some conversations. This was not so long ago that it’s acceptable to lie about what you did. There’s a documentary about a woman who lied about her fabricated experiences on 9-11.

Everyone in Denmark, who saw the news, can tell you in livid detail what they were doing at that time. I just came home from college to my CPH apartment, I remember I needed to vacuum so turned on the TV Later I got a pizza because of not wanting to miss what was happening. Pizza no. 29. He lies.

There is no more spineless, prostrate, weak individual than Ted Cruz. Trump said he wife was ugly and his father killed JFK. And yet, this is how he acts. He can never be our president.

Lol!!!!! When Cancun Cruz is defending demento's latest bs story about 9/11, you know it was a complete flop. Took 10 long years, but folks are finally realizing the serial liar for what he is. Iran has no missiles...boom Gas is cheap...no Tariffs pd by others..no Prices down...no Liar, yes!

I live in Canada, and I know exactly where I was. My daughter was 16, and she remembers exactly where she was. He either has severe memory issues, or it didn't mean enough to him to imprint, or he's lying. All three?

If you cannot recall specifics about 9/11 (like where you were, what you did/thought, feelings, etc.) you are either younger than 40 or have some kind of memory issue.

There's a difference between not remembering some details about a day nobody who was alive and conscious at the time had since forgotten, and straight-up hallucinating an entire chain of events. WTF is he, a lard-ass language model?

There's a difference between simply not recalling something or even minor misremembering vs supposedly misremembering a detailed scenario that never happened. Even in the highly unlikely event he's not lying that still means he's severely cognitively impaired.

I was working for the feds in Kansas City. One of my brother's collegues in Minnesota mistakenly told him there was a bombing in the federal building in Kansas City, not Oklahoma City. Luckily he rushed to call my mom, who set it all straight, so he only had a few minutes of fear for me.

Remember when Pawpa claimed thousands of Muslims were at the Jersey City waterfront cheering the smoldering ruins. I doubt that man shed one crocodile tear over the deaths, but he did worry about downtown tenants leaving his properties.

Im trying to understand if he is saying he was at ground zero when it was attacked or was there at a later date and was in a nearby building that they were fearful would collapse so two firefighters rushed him out?

I was home in San Francisco and went to my kid's school to bring them home. Then I went down to Ground Zero that afternoon. That's more likely than Trump's story.

gustavo, eduardo or whatever the fuck your traitorous ass name really is, you hammered that 'biden' was old. fucking orange shitstain liar fraud embezzler con felon traitor child rapist pedophile is 80 and you "excuse" anything that cumrag does because you you're a repuglican. cunt.

i'm not so sure. Ted is so fucking calculating i wouldn't be surprised if that was a deliberate attempt to give himself plausible deniability as Trump's star rapidly falls.

I vaguely recall there was something we were told to never do after 9/11. Never regret? no. Never pirouette? No no no, dang right there on the tip of my tongue.

Maybe with the dementia, Trump doesn’t remember…naw…he is doing his usual “ big strong men with tears in their eyes saying please sir, let me pick you up….”

one of the most pathetic people ever - trump is lying, making himself the center of a story that has nothing to do with him. He could not care less about the victims, the first responders, the families who lost loved ones! Once again you show you are a nothing!

Trump has consistently lied about it for 25 years FDNY NYPD Have both refuted Trump's heroic story about himself for 25 years For 25 years not 1 person has validated his story He also claimed he saw muslims celebrating in NJ from his building in NYC & he now had tallest building in NYC Both Lies
