Fox News host Maria Bartiromo recounted what she experienced on 9/11 and got emotional on live TV. She also told Americans to come together and stay strong and unified.
“On September 17th, when I was on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, we were all still in shock. We looked up at that podium, and it was the firefighters, and it was the NYPD, and it was the first responders, and it was the mayor, and the governor, and the senators and the congressmen.”
“And we all looked at each other, I looked up, everybody on the floor was looking up, and we were still in shock. We were in such mourning.”
“But we had strength. We looked at those people at the podium, and they moved us forward and they gave us the strength and the confidence to say we will rise again, and we will get through this, and we will fight back, and we will get tougher, and we will be strong again. And it was such an important message on September 17th, just a week after the dreadful day of September 11th.”
She emphasized that “what we have to remember is the strength and the unity that we got after we understood what took place. The strength and the unity that we had when we knew we were under attack.”
Bartiromo got choked up and said, “We must stay strong and unified. Somehow, we must come together.”
“I just pray for my friends, that they’re in when my dad, and they are looking down on us and trying to give us the strength we need.”
Recently, 9/11 families got mad about President Biden going to Saudi Arabia.
“It pains us to say it, but you are the first President since the September 11 Attacks who has not met with the families and survivors. Yet you just traveled halfway around the world to fist-bump Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman where he had the gall to lecture…”
They wrote an open letter to President Biden.
The Hill reported:
The 9/11 Families United chair Terry Strada urged Biden to “prioritize accountability for 9/11” in any conversations he or his administration have with Saudi officials or with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman when he visits the Middle Eastern country.
The letter highlighted Biden’s executive order to declassify 3,000 pages of documents related to the attack. The president said this action “confirms our long-held beliefs regarding Saudi Arabia’s deep involvement in the murders of our loved ones.”
The documents released last year showed that the FBI extensively investigated the level of support given to three Saudi nationals — including from a Saudi Embassy official in Washington, D.C., — once they landed in the U.S., including “procuring living quarters and assistance with assimilating” in the country.
