Seeing the Twin Towers crumble is no longer the most frightening moment of my life.
— John C. Liu (@LiuNewYork) January 6, 2021
Update:
A New York lawmaker from Queens is getting big blowback for tweeting that since Wednesday’s Capitol riots, the 9/11 attack is no longer his most frightening memory.
“Seeing the Twin Towers crumble is no longer the most frightening moment of my life,” tweeted state Sen. John Liu (D-Queens).
The tweet, which Liu sent at 4:26 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, as the Washington, D.C., riot unfolded, is still being blasted as tone-deaf days later.
Liu told The Post on Saturday that he was just swept up by the emotion of the moment when he hit send on Wednesday’s tweet.
“My tweet was an emotional response that failed to provide a fuller context and was not meant in any disrespect, especially to those who died on 9/11 and their families,” Liu said, adding, “9/11 is by far the most horrific and outrageous thing I’ve witnessed.”
Still, the Capitol attack “evoked emotions of outrage, horror and fear that I haven’t felt since Sept. 11.,”
“What happened on that day 20 years ago was by far the most horrific thing I saw in my life and can’t be compared, but watching on TV the American people’s house be attacked — not by terrorists but by other Americans — was frightening,” he added.
Liu was a candidate in the primary elections which were canceled by the 9/11 attacks. He went on to win, becoming the first Asian American elected to the City Council. He was elected to the state Senate in 2018.
“On Sept. 11, 2001, after they canceled the primary election that morning, I returned home in time to watch the towers fall, and I remember feeling the horror and the outrage and the fear, which I, nor any of us, will ever forget,” he said.
Maybe you should have wrote your belated (and lame) excuse on a thread following your initial faux pas, dummy.You just wanted to see how many likes you were gonna get.

John Liu is a idiot.
Seeing people who call themselves Americans trying to overturn Democracy was indeed frightening, but John Liu went over the top with his hyperbole.
The militant supporters of the One-Term Loser can slink back into the holes that they came from.
He's so woke!!!!
I'm Outraged!
CCP plant. Had young female aide take the rap.
9/11 should not be on his lips. Scumbag!
The sense of national unity after 9/11 was then palpable. The sense of national disunity of 1/06 is now palpable.
Too bad there isn't a vaccine for stupidity. Aside from Senator Liu, there's a pretty big crowd of domestic terrorists that could use it, too.
Did he ever repay the $$ owned to the NYC Campaign Finance Board?
A vaccine for stupidity would do wonders for this state in Albany, NYC and the capital in Washington.
We are worried about Covid when we should be worried about liberal mental illness.
Got to push the false narrative. That was a pretty tame protest. Oh except for the cop who shot an unarmed protester. Maybe Biden can train him to shoot at the legs next time.
I wonder what the Capitol would have looked like if the commies from BLM and Antifa got in?
I doubt they would have stayed behind the velvet ropes
Tearing down statues of Washington and Lincoln and Jefferson is a-ok but these leftists expect people to still pretend these buildings in DC hold sanctity????? Uh no. Some people ain’t following the NWO plot line.
To John Liu,watching reruns of Tinnamin Square when the tank RAN over the people of China begging for freedom is like Porn,He gets off on it.
You didn't say what Liu thought was more frightening than the World Trade Center attack. But let me guess, it was the fat white people wandering openly through the Capital Building in D.C. Actually, to me, they looked like a bunch of tourists who were lost and looking for the bathroom. So, how come it was sooo easy for these "rebels" to enter the House of the People? And why do so many feel that it's ok to riot and burn regular towns and businesses but it's not ok to invade the Peoples House? Are the D.C. politicians off limits to the reality that's been happening to all of America since May, 2020? There haven't been so many regular people in the House since Andy Jackson's inauguration. Get real, People. I was downtown on 9/11, where the Hell was Liu, under his bed?
That was a pretty tame protest.
Sure, planting pipe bombs; trying to hang people; trying to prevent Congress from doing its job after 60+ frivolous lawsuits have already been dismissed. No need to bring up BLM or Antifa strawmen - just concentrate on the white supremacists, fanatics, and domestic terrorists who took part in Wednesday's assault on Democracy. I'm sure Putin, Xi, Kim, Khamenei, and Erdogan all delighted in America's shame. I guess that's how a One-Term Loser and his brainwashed followers act when the walls are closing in.
"That was a pretty tame protest."
Really? Then why was Officer Sicknick struck in the head with a fire extinguisher and is now dead?
The attempted coup looked tame because most of the participants including the organizer in chief are a bunch of morons. Being morons and failures doesn't diminish the fact that they are still traitors (as are all Trumpanzees). What I find amusing is that they are thick skinned enough to wave the American flag. For this re-enactment of the British destruction of Washington in 1812, I think the Union Jack would be more apt.
Ok change tame to mostly peaceful. Does that help you sleep better? How many cars were burned? Any Federal buildings destroyed, businesses burnt to the ground? Yeah pretty tame.
What was encouraged and allowed to happen over the summer was way more shameful to America than anything that went on in DC the other day.
Her name was Ashli Babbit. Say her name.
White supremacists??? Lol. So tired of the lefts racism. They hate white people and virtue signal to mask their own self Loathing.
They brought Molotov cocktails and pipe bombs. The brought zip-tie handcuffs. They wanted to lynch Mike Pence for following the US Constitution. They wanted to kill Nancy Pelosi. They raised a racist symbol (the confederate flag) over the US Capitol. But it’s OK because there were riots in Portland and Kenosha. That’s the logic of the One-Term Loser.
Say her name.
4,112 Americans died of COVID on Thursday. The outgoing President has been fixated solely on spinning lies about the election rather than the worsening pandemic. Say some of their names, too. Ms. Babbit did not deserve to die, and neither did the 4,112 Americans who died on Thursday. Turns out they all had something in common - they were all lied to by Donald Trump.
Ashli Babbit. 14 year Air Force veteran 4 tours overseas. Gunned down in the halls of Congress.
Disgusting that she died in the place where cowards make decisions for us all.
Anyone else remember when the left hated the government?
Sure, planting pipe bombs; trying to hang people; trying to prevent Congress from doing its job after 60+ frivolous lawsuits have already been dismissed.
So who planted the pipe bombs? Since you seem to know, the FBI is offering $50,000 for the information.
Hang people? Where?
Actually came in handy - nothing televised, DJT was up 12:0 in electoral votes when this started very very conveniently. Stock market good, corrupt politicians resumed the charade at 8:00 PM until 3:41 AM. Were you watching all this?
The lawsuits were dismissed? That's interesting. Seems no evidence can be shown then.
Why then the purge, impeach now version 2.0 ?
Nanzi's laptop was taken so they say. No wonder she is freaking out.
Bored sweetie you are nothing, but an agent provocateur. Taking notes darling? How is your list going?
"Her name was Ashli Babbit. Say her name."
First spell her name correctly: Babbitt. I'm not saying her name no matter how you spell it. What's this nutsy QAnon conspiracy supporter doing climbing a ledge and diving through a smashed window uninvited in the hallow halls of Congress? Urgently looking for the john to take a leak? Cops were BESIEGED. I'm with the cops. She got what she signed up for.
Ayn Rand's comment on Civil Disobedience bears reading from "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" [my italics]:
"Civil disobedience may be justifiable, in some cases, when and if an individual disobeys a law in order to bring an issue to court, as a test case. Such an action involves respect for legality and a protest directed only at a particular law which the individual seeks an opportunity to prove to be unjust. The same is true of a group of individuals when and if the risks involved are their own.
But there is no justification, in a civilized society, for the kind of mass civil disobedience that involves the violation of the rights of others—regardless of whether the demonstrators’ goal is good or evil. The end does not justify the means. No one’s rights can be secured by the violation of the rights of others. Mass disobedience is an assault on the concept of rights: it is a mob’s defiance of legality as such.
The forcible occupation of another man’s property or the obstruction of a public thoroughfare is so blatant a violation of rights that an attempt to justify it becomes an abrogation of morality. An individual has no right to do a “sit-in” in the home or office of a person he disagrees with—and he does not acquire such a right by joining a gang. Rights are not a matter of numbers—and there can be no such thing, in law or in morality, as actions forbidden to an individual, but permitted to a mob.
The only power of a mob, as against an individual, is greater muscular strength—i.e., plain, brute physical force. The attempt to solve social problems by means of physical force is what a civilized society is established to prevent. The advocates of mass civil disobedience admit that their purpose is intimidation. A society that tolerates intimidation as a means of settling disputes—the physical intimidation of some men or groups by others—loses its moral right to exist as a social system, and its collapse does not take long to follow.
Politically, mass civil disobedience is appropriate only as a prelude to civil war—as the declaration of a total break with a country’s political institutions.
"Ashli Babbitt". Spit on her name?
RE: Her name was Ashli Babbit. Say her name
Ashli Babbit: she was a useful idiot who got what one deserves when taking their conspiracy theories to DC and fucking with our democracy. She got exactly what every person who breached that building and any cop who helped them breach that building deserved.
Fuck off.
If he had a family member murdered when it happened, then he would think differently otherwise. What a loser. Why is he still around?

The democrats are the most racist people on the face of this planet and they are only getting worst! We were doing just fine as a country back in 2008 as a nation when the media wasn't pointing out what skin color people are. Why can't they just say "a man stabbed another today" Or "a man punched out another man today"? But NO, it HAS to be "a white man stabbed an Asian deli owner today" or "a white man punched out a Hispanic man today"....IT ALWAYS has to include race especially when a white person is involved. They have violence everywhere and you never once hear the media saying "a black man stabbed another black man today" or "a Hispanic man shot another Hispanic man today"....it will never happen.
Johnny, I think you need to be reminded 2753 people died at the WTC. How quickly we forget.
YOUR AN IDIOT.

This CCP stooge is allowed to mock 9/11 with most of the victims pulverized.
September 11, 2001. The attacks resulted in 2,977 fatalities, over 25,000 injuries, and substantial long-term health consequences, in addition to at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage.
Ashli Babbit: she was a useful idiot who got what one deserves when taking their conspiracy theories to DC and fucking with our democracy. She got exactly what every person who breached that building and any cop who helped them breach that building deserved.
Your communism is what you really want to say. If "our" democracy existed none of this would have happened.
Your comment about an other human being's violent demise shows the world what kind of person you are. Garbage.

Another fucking useful idiot. Why don't you move to North Korea or China and see how that suits you?
Of course CCP Jonh Liu doesn't care.
He is not American. Why would he?
They brought Molotov cocktails and pipe bombs.
You must be talking about the Greek riots, where ordinary citizen were labeled communists. Very conveniently after Goldman Sachs really screwed them good.
Seen no cocktails of any kind, even on CNN.
When the "left" is doing it is ok. Meaning riot at the Capitol.
Enjoy. Dumbo!

Interesting video.

So actually the police let them in. Why?
Then the young lady is shot. Why?
Was it police or someone else? Like a well known Senator? Who hates the fact that others have guns, but he carries his.
Just asking
This is a Neo-Liberal Fascist.
John, when will you pay your fines from your comptroller campaign?
They lett them in just when Arizona was presenting their voter fraud. Clear the chambers, kill a patriot , that helps clear the Capitol. Come back undercover of darkness certify a fraudulent election. Pretty good plan
Change my mind
What "mind", non compos mentis? And she deserved what she brought upon herself and her chanting "fuck the blue" assholes. Spit her name.
14 years in the Air Force 4 tours overseas. Bigger patriot than you key board warrior
14 years doing what? Big shit. The female Chuck Yeager? Or the assistant clerk in the typing pool.
RE: 14 years in the Air Force 4 tours overseas. Bigger patriot than you key board warrior
And what obviously is the results of untreated PTSD causes her to shit it all away and get what one deserves for following a fucking draft dodger and disturbing democracy.
Oh and by the way, one of the by-products of our particular brand of freedom is: your opinion doesn't count more than mine even if you served 14 years in the Air Force, 4 tours oversea. No monopoly there. Yeah I know it's a motherfucker for you but, oh well.
Yeah I know it's a motherfucker for you
That's exactly what you are commie scum. Perfect description.
SOME MOBS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS !
God Bless all our Veterans !
"Of course CCP Jonh Liu doesn't care.
He is not American. Why would he?"
Thanks to the Queens Sheeple who voted him into office !
"Yeah I know it's a motherfucker for you"
GET OUT OF YOUR ECHO CHAMBER TROLL !
They want you to stay home.
They want you to become reliant on the Gov.
They want you to become unhealthy.
They want you to shop everything online.
They want to censor you unless you agree w/ them.
They want to control your emotions.
They want control.
Think about it.
I’m right there with you. I got your back. I don’t expect my loyal patriotic followers to do anything I wouldn’t do. It’s just that my bone Spurs started acting up again last week and I couldn’t make it. But, I’ll be there the next time, leading the charge. I’ll even bring my loyal patriotic son in law Jared. All my wonderful family will be there, unless of course, they have a photo shoot or book signing to attend. Four more years!
Thanks to the Queens Sheeple who voted him into office !
Stop with this nonsense. Apparently on election day anything goes. I always wondered about the results for decades.
Now I know why.
Thanks Mr. Jovan Pulitzer!
RE: GET OUT OF YOUR ECHO CHAMBER TROLL !
What the fuck are you talking about? Looks like I'm the one invading the cracker bitch fest here you call an echo chamber.
You fuck with democracy, you get what you deserve. Without democracy, you can't have your little bitch fest here. You should be complaining that each and every person that breached that building didn't get a bullet between the eyes. The fuckers they arrested should be sent to Guantanamo for life!
You fuck with democracy, you get what you deserve.

Commie's version of "democracy".

Nah, we rather watch Hunter on PornHub. Better show.
We also want to learn his banking, negotiating and business skills too.
True gem.

Even Grandma Merkel knows the bans are problematic.
Perhaps time has come to massively boycott twttr. Just saying.
"Sent to Guantanamo for life!" Sure, said the Twitter-Like agitor!
Are you a Troll "Cracker bitch fest" or LaRRping behing the keyboard ?
Pray for them It's their leftist brain parasite, they only get energy from drama and evil.
The Capitol building was bombed in 1983. One of the responsible party had her sentence commuted by Bill Clinton and now sits on the board of BLM. So I guess the lines for bullets in the head start behind her ya commie
Linda Evans his her name because I know you are too fucking stupid to research yourself
Oh and we don’t live in a democracy. Probably too late for your parents to get their money back for your education.
During the Kavanauh hearing over 1000 women occupied the Hart Senate building and many arrested. You gonna need a lot of ammo commie
The Capitol building was bombed in 1983.
Waste of time. These CCP educated, CCP fattened pigs are dumber than a rock.
Common core, it takes a village, you know the commie cliches.
They are so stupid don't even know their own phones are spying on them and they are the product for suckerberg and dorsey.
"Their own phones are spying on them"
They don't care! All young people under 30 have been born into captivity.
Unlike people older than 50 who were born free.
They don't care! All young people under 30 have been born into captivity.
No wonder even McDonald's is using AI now. Can't really blame them though.
Is not captivity - is stupidity.
Even Grandma Merkel knows the bans are problematic.
Yep. She is a hard core socialist and even she is noticing this ain't right.
Well Angela - enjoy the destruction of Germany under you reign.
STASI bitch.
Dummkopf. Merkel is Christian Democratic (CDU), the conservatives of Germany. The socialists are the SPD.
