The photo shows three men in an office, drinking from red Solo cups before the early morning attack.
"Our enemies turned planes into missiles & used them to strike at the heart of American Democracy," Paxton wrote.
20 yrs ago today our country was attacked. Our enemies turned planes into missiles & used them to strike at the heart of American Democracy. We must #neverforget the almost 3000 Americans that perished. Please spend a few moments today remembering & praying for the families. #911pic.twitter.com/hCxUYfmZm2— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@Attorney General Ken Paxton) 1631358421
As Twitter user Ian Livingston noted, former MTV "Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans had generated controversy when she posted the same image a year earlier.
"'AWFUL' Teen Mom Jenelle Evans slammed for posting 'tone deaf' and 'horrible' photo of plane to commemorate 9/11," was the headline used by the U.S. Sun.
And sure enough, Paxton was also dragged.
AFAIK, the WTC was not the \u201cheart of American democracy\u201d\n\nBut I def understand you wanting to confuse people what striking at the heart of American democracy would look like— DL 138 (@DL 138) 1631392109
