Pamela Keith, a failed candidate for the Democrats in Florda's 18th Congressional District, tweeted on Saturday that the events of Sept. 11 2001 were 'not even close' to being as bad as those of Jan. 6 2021.

9/11/2001 ceased being the worst thing that happened to America in my lifetime.
It’s really weird and painful to process and say that.
But it’s the truth.
And quite frankly… it’s not even close.
Keith goes on in her tweets to echo similar sentiments from those pushed on Saturday on MSNBC, saying that "after the last 5 years, I take stock that NOT ONCE on 9/11 or the days and months afterwards, did I fear for the survival of the nation, or our democracy," but that "the last 5 years have been a DYSTOPIAN HELL of watching our democracy implode."
Keith's forays into politics at the state and federal level have proven unfruitful. She has previously lost the race for the House seat in 2018, and prior to that, unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the Florida Senate back in 2016.
Keith's discourse has proven to be less than popular with her fellow twitter users. The tweet went viral, generating almost 7000 comments, most of them overwhelmingly negative. Below are listed just a few of many examples of the public's reaction to Keith's posts:
Former President Bush in Shanksville compares Jan 6 insurrectionists to 9/11 hijackers:”in determination to defile our national symbols they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our duty to confront them.” Wow

Tell that to the families of the 2,996 people who died on 9/11.

Actually, scratch that. They deserve peace and comfort today. Leave them alone.
Congratulations, you came up with a stupider tweet than Jim Acosta could

Congratulations: You just proved you’re an idiot.

People in the Twin Towers on 9/11 had to make the decision to either die in a burning building or jump to their death. How many people had to make that decision on January 6th?

Keith appears to have summarily blocked at least two of her critics (the ones writing the response tweets shown immediately above), and how has severely limited replies to her posts:
Join and support independent free thinkers!
We’re independent and can’t be cancelled. The establishment media is increasingly dedicated to divisive cancel culture, corporate wokeism, and political correctness, all while covering up corruption from the corridors of power. The need for fact-based journalism and thoughtful analysis has never been greater. When you support The Post Millennial, you support freedom of the press at a time when it's under direct attack. Join the ranks of independent, free thinkers by supporting us today for as little as $1.
