| Description | AUSTIN – Debra Medina's campaign for Texas governor tumbled, and spent Thursday trying to right itself, after the Republican iconoclast didn't immediately dismiss a fringe theory that the Bush administration played a role in the 9/11 attacks.
Medina was speaking on Glenn Beck's nationally broadcast radio program when the host asked her if she believed the American government had any involvement in the destruction of the World Trade Center.
"I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard," she replied. "There's some very good arguments and I think the American people have not seen all the evidence there, so I've not taken a position."
Her opponents in the GOP campaign for governor, Kay Bailey Hutchison and Rick Perry, were quick to criticize Medina's comments, as was the former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under George W. Bush.
"Ms. Medina – this is nuts!" former FEMA executive Joe Allbaugh, a Perry supporter, responded in a written statement. "If you really believe that there are legitimate questions yet to be answered about whether the U.S. government was involved in the 9/11 attacks, in my opinion, you have no business running for the governor of Texas." |
