Former President George W. Bush seemed to imply during his remarks commemorating the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that the same elements which took down the twin towers were also responsible for the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion.
While not referring to Jan. 6 directly, Bush’s comments appeared to be directed at the event.
“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within,” he said.
“There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home,” he also said. “But in their disdainful pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our continuing duty to confront them.”
Bush made the remarks from the location of the crash of United Flight 93 in Pennsylvania on 9/11.
