LT. Governor Ron Ramsey stands by Sept. 11 tweet
WJHL-TV ^ | September 12, 2013
.................................................................................................

Thursday, Tennessee Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey is standing by his September 11th tweet that has drawn criticism from other lawmakers, including Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Roy Herron.

Here is what Ramsey tweeted on September 11th: "As the president attempts to ally with Al-Qaeda in Syria's civil war, we must always remember who attacked us on our soil 12 years ago."




This is what Ramsey said Thursday about that controversial tweet: "Every September 11 since that tragic Tuesday in 2001 has been a day of remembrance. We remember those who died, those who served and those who carry on. But we must also remember those who attacked us and why. The Syrian rebels connections to Al-Qaeda are well-established and well-known. I am proud to stand with leaders like Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Rand Paul against coming to the aid of our enemies, enemies who continue to hate our country from afar as they kill Christians in their own country."
