Of course the video was pandering. The video implies that former presidents, Democrats Carter and Clinton, were responsible for 9/11 and that Republicans will never let such an abomination happen here again.
Was using the victims of 9/11 (by the way, some 300 Brits and hundreds of other foreign nationals died in the towers that day) “inappropriate?” Was it appropriate for Rudy Giuliani to sneer in his keynote address that the Democrats never mentioned 9/11 during their convention?
The families and friends of people who perished that day and those of us, myself included, who were there to witness and live with the aftermath for months on end do not believe that a political party owns 9/11.
Yes, the video was inappropriate.
