Videos of Mark Udall Sympathetically Responding to 9/11 Truther

Here's The Video That Made 9-11 Truthers Think A Senator Was On Their Side (Business Insider)

In 2007, Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colorado), who was then a congressman, was being pursued by a group of anti-war activists and so-called 9/11 truthers. The protests against Udall included a large group going to a town hall meeting where activists peppered Udall with questions and came away with a heavily edited video that appeared to show Udall agreeing there was "some evidence" the World Trade Center towers might not have collapsed as a result of an Al Qaeda attack.

Now, that out-of-context footage is threatening to rear its head in Udall's re-election campaign, which is one of the most closely watched races in the country.

On Monday, a conservative tipster sent Business Insider a 23 second excerpt of the 2007 footage where Udall can be heard saying, "There's some evidence that there were charges planted in the buildings."

When Business Insider contacted the Udall campaign about the video, they provided us with audio of the town hall as well as a transcript. Looking at the quote in context, it is clear Udall was paraphrasing some of the claims referred to by members of the audience as they shouted at him when he made the comment that led the activists to claim he was agreeing with some of their ideas and appears to have attracted the attention of conservatives.
