Fetterman compares Jan. 6 to 9/11
At an election rally, the Democratic Pennsylvania senatorial candidate insisted that his rival, Mehmet Oz, called for a pardon for the assailants.
Democratic Pennsylvania senatorial candidate John Fetterman compared the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to the attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. He also noted that his rival, Republican candidate Mehmet Oz, called for a pardon for the participants in the raid.
According to Breitbart, when Fetterman was questioned how the Capitol riots shaped his campaign by the chairwoman of the Erie County Black Democratic Caucus, Selena King, the candidate responded, "The last thing I would actually kind of think it was similar, that feeling of 9/11, you know, when you see the planes hit." He continued:
The Democratic hopeful needs to gain momentum after his performance in last week's televised debate with his Republican rival. After starting the campaign as the favorite, Fetterman now finds himself tied with or even surpassed by Oz in all polls heading into Election Day on Nov. 8.
