Former Democratic Congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney tweeted a dangerously antisemitic trope on Monday afternoon, accusing the Jews of being behind the 9/11 bombings.
This tweet has since been removed for violating Twitter rules.
Other factors in her defeat were her allegations of Bush's involvement in 9/11,[28][38] her opposition to aid to Israel, a perceived support of Palestinian and Arab causes, and alleged antisemitism in her comments.[39][40][41][42] On the night before the primary election, McKinney's father stated on Atlanta television that "Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J-E-W-S."[28] Cynthia McKinney had been through a long contentious relationship with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).[43]
Georgia political analyst Bill Shipp addressed McKinney's defeat
saying: "voters sent a message: 'We're tired of these over-the-top
congressmen dealing in great international and national interests. How
about somebody looking out for our interests?'"[44]
She is a well known nut and conspiracy theorist who was defeated for reelection
