A national supporter for the Bernie Sanders campaign once claimed that the United States was to blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Phillip Agnew, who joined the Sanders campaign in July 2019, has blamed the U.S. for 9/11 several times.
“Tomorrow America remembers the day that she turned on herself, dismantled her constitution, and killed her own citizens in the name of money,” Agnew tweeted out on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

On Sept. 11, 2016, Agnew published a cartoon on his Instagram of the twin towers being struck by two boomerangs labeled “U.S. interventionist policy.” Agnew captioned the post “#neverforget what goes round comes round.”
Briahna Joy Gray, the national press secretary for the Sanders campaign, praised Agnew, tweeting, “Not only are [h]is politics amazing, he’s an absolute delight.”

The Washington Free Beacon found that Agnew has spoken at several Sanders campaign events alongside figures like Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and American filmmaker Michael Moore.
The Washington Examiner reached out to the Sanders campaign for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
