Swedish Deputy Prime Minister: 9/11 terror attack an ‘accident’

romsonThe terror attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, was the worst terror attack on U.S. soil, killing some 3,000 people.  But Asa Romson, Sweden’s Deputy Prime Minister, referred to the attack as an “accident,” Daily Wire reported.

The Daily Wire added:

This type of behavior is nothing new for Romson. For months now, the Deputy PM has been flirting with anti-American and anti-Semitic sentiments.

Romson, the Daily Mail added, is “one of two leaders of the Swedish Green Party…”
