...Tremblay
said the attack on the Boston Marathon isn't the only incident where
she sees a conspiracy. She said she also has questions about what
happened in the attacks on Sept. 11, the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood and
the attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
Tremblay's
concerns echo theories posted online by conspiracy theorists that have
typically been widely debunked. But Tremblay paraphrased Thomas
Jefferson in her defense.
"He
taught us to ask with boldness even the very existence of God, because
he would rather have honest questions than blind obedience," Tremblay
said.
Tremblay
said she won't apologize for her Facebook post. She said that if she
could, she would rephrase it, possibly as a question.
While some in Concord are defending her right to say what she wants, the state GOP put out a strong statement.
"Representative
Tremblay thoroughly discredited herself with her bizarre, embarrassing
and unfounded comments," the statement said. "New Hampshire Republicans
strongly reject her outlandish views and believe that anybody who holds
such bizarre beliefs should not be taken seriously."
Tremblay
said she has heard criticism from some of her constituents, but she
insisted she has received a lot of support, citing examples of messages
from people in Idaho and Virginia.
