Co-host of Fox News’ “The Five” and former press secretary to President George W. Bush Dana Perino on Monday evening slammed Donald Trump for suggesting that Bush was partially to blame for the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
“I think it was a dismal weekend when you have liberal conspiracy theories being introduced by the Republican frontrunner,” she said on “The Five.”
Perino lamented that Trump has been pushing “soft trutherism” on the 9/11 attacks and cast doubt on Trump’s claim that he could have prevented the attacks with stronger immigration policies.
“Even the left doesn’t do what Donald Trump does. Only the farthest right lunatics were truthers,” she later added.
Trump last week suggested that George W. Bush was partially to blame for the 9/11 attacks, prompting former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) to jump to his brother’s defense.
