Celebrity 9/11 Truther Endorses Sherrod Brown

Sherrod Brown’s Senate re-election campaign is touting the endorsement of celebrity 9/11 Truther Martin Sheen in an email to supporters that went out last night.

Before 2012, Sheen was widely known to be a 9/11 Truther. However, this was confirmed in a major way that year when it was announced that Sheen was set to star in a 9/11 Truther with fellow Truthers Woody Harrselson and Ed Asner.

The Guardian reported at that time:

Sheen, who starred in Apocalypse Now and television’s The West Wing, has long questioned whether Islamist hijackers single-handedly brought down the Twin Towers, killing 2,605 people.

“I did not want to believe that my government could possibly be involved in such a thing, I could not live in a country that I thought could do that – that would be the ultimate betrayal,” he told an interviewer in 2007.

Sheen grew suspicious after his son Charlie, also an actor, alerted him to apparent contradictions, such as how a structure known as “Building 7” fell.

He said: “However, there have been so many revelations that now I have my doubts, and chief among them is Building 7 – how did they rig that building so that it came down on the evening of the day?”

Sheen notes in his email on behalf of Brown that “I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. I had eight brothers and one sister, and our dad was a factory worker…”
