Very misleading headline. It is easy to interpret that as he won’t take a side between Al Qaeda and the US. Even the first tweet makes it clear he’s talking about the “debate” about who was responsible. The later clarifying tweet makes even the conspiracy angle more clear.

I don’t like stupid conspiracy theories, and the first tweet still makes him look bad. But the headline author had to see how the ambiguity would be interpreted.

For the record, I dislike RFK, Jr. and his stance on vaccines immensely.

Oh, I didn’t think for a second he was talking about Al Queda vs US. That dumbass is always chest deep in bullshit. Of course he’s agnostic about 9/11 conspiracies.

The saudis being involved isn’t a conspiracy. The first 9/11 commission report from decades ago at this point talked about them being involved. However the Saudi government is a complex web of different systems and power levels with their own sort of autonomy.

Conspiracies are things like 9/11 being an inside job, or there was bombs planted in the building, or that jet fuel can’t melt steel beams.

Having a shitty, or even traitorous, legitimate political opinion is one thing; being unable to tell the difference between reality and fantasy is entirely another. Not taking sides between reality and delusional conspiracy theories is even worse than not taking sides between the US and Al Qaeda!
