Friedman Doubles Down on Trump Election as ‘Moral 9/11’
Poster child for New York elite blames GOP win on racism, homophobia and climate change
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman stood by his
post-presidential election comments calling the outcome a “moral 9/11”
and claimed President-Elect Donald Trump appealed to “middle America”
because “this world’s going to be too fast for a lot of people” during
an interview Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week.”
Friedman garnered massive backlash Friday when he wrote in a column that Trump’s general election victory amounted to a “moral 9/11” except that “9/11 was done from us on the outside and we did this to ourselves.” When “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos asked him for an explanation for his “pretty apocalyptic language,” Friedman attempted to shift blame to the Trump campaign’s rhetoric.

Friedman, along with peddlers of racial division like CNN’s Van Jones, have completely disregarded the fact most Americans haven’t experienced a real increase to their median household income since 1999.“Red lines were erased that I don’t think will be easily restored. So, this was a huge moral event, and there’s no question about it,” Friedman told Stephanopoulos.
