Johnson Doubles Down on 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

  • In several interviews in 2025, Senator Ron Johnson expressed skepticism about the official account of the failure of World Trade Center Building 7.
  • Johnson disputes the conclusion reached by the federal agency responsible for setting measurement and technology standards that fires left unchecked led to the building's structural failure, and he believes there remain many unresolved questions about the attacks.
  • He referenced a documentary released in 2020 that challenges the official explanation for Building 7’s collapse, suggesting that its freefall descent indicates all structural supports were removed simultaneously, and described the event as visually striking while expressing skepticism about the accepted account.
  • Johnson explained that for the building to collapse as it did, all of its supports would have to be eliminated simultaneously, and he highlighted the 9/11 families' ongoing search for truth despite doubts surrounding conspiracy theories.
  • His remarks prompted criticism from political opponents who condemned any suggestion that the attacks were anything but a tragedy that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
