View Co-Host: Blame ‘Puppet Masters’ Controlling Bush for Allowing 9/11, Not W (NewsBusters)

George W. Bush was is too dumb to be held responsible for 9/11 happening on his watch, according to View co-host Michelle Collins on Monday. In an attempt to somewhat defend the former president from attacks by Donald Trump, Collins spewed, “You cannot point a finger at George Bush when, first of all, people used to say that he was sort of the — there were puppet masters controlling him.” 

Admitting that she “hates” defending Bush, Collins accused, “So, let’s point at the puppet masters over Bush. He could not control that.” Blame the “puppet masters” for what, exactly?

Co-host Raven-Symone promoted a debunked 9/11 theory about the U.S. government and Osama bin Laden. Citing an anonymous “they,” she suggested, “ They said back in the '70s, we were funding Osama bin Laden and people like that.”
