First-term Hudson Valley Republican Rep. Marc Molinaro unwittingly posted an endorsement video from an influencer who’s promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories — before deleting the post this week.
Molinaro posted a video of Alexandra Davis’ endorsement of him on X on Oct. 10, in which she also trashes his Democratic rival, Josh Riley.
He was unaware that Davis, a self-described “conspiracy realist” with 24,700 followers on Instagram, has raised eyebrows for peddling conspiracy theories about the 9/11 terror attacks.
On her account, Davis reposted a statement on Sept. 12, 2022, from a major general who said, “I saw a missile hitting the Pentagon, not a plane” — when hijackers really slammed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon.
Davis then posted, “It’s really not a fun rabbit hole to go down but it’s an important one. Once you start you won’t see the world the same.”
She also posted that 9/11 was “not a random event” and said the collapse of the 47-story building at 7 World Trade Center building would have been “virtually impossible to achieve without explosives and other accelerants.”
“There are thousands of thousands of engineers, fire specialists and scientists that say the same. 911 was not a random event….,” Davis said on Sept. 13, 2022.
7 World Trade was not hit by a hijacked plane but collapsed after catching fire.
Asked Tuesday about Molinaro posting Davis’ endorsement video, a campaign spokesperson said, “We were not aware of it [Davis’ 9/11 conspiracies] and we just deleted it.”
“She was a campaign supporter and she sent us a video,” the rep said.
Davis was not immediately available for comment.
