Governor Larry Hogan is blasting the Republican nominee running to become Maryland's next attorney general over comments he made about the September 11 attacks roughly 15 years ago.
A new CNN report has uncovered that Michael Peroutka spread unfounded conspiracy theories about the 9/11 terror attacks on his radio show "The American View".
In an episode that aired in October of 2006, Peroutka said he believed the attacks on the World Trade Center were the work of an "elite bureaucrat" who set up explosive devices inside the two towers.
He also suggested that people who died in the attack on the Pentagon were killed somewhere else.
Governor Hogan, who backed Peroutka's opponent Jim Shalleck in the July primary, tweeted that Perouka's claims were an insult to the memory of those killed on September 11.
