Speaking Out Against The Saudi-Funded LIV Golf Tournament, 50 Miles From Ground Zero
Members of the 9/11 Community to Hold Press Conference Next Tuesday in Bedminster
Bedminster, N.J. – While members of the Saudi-funded LIV Golf tour prepare to continue “sportswashing” the Kingdom’s reputation by playing in another tournament on U.S. soil, 9/11 Families United and members of the 9/11 community will remind them next week yet again that Saudi Arabia provided support for al-Qaeda and the 9/11 hijackers to carry out the September 11 attacks. Sadly, this new tournament takes place 50 miles from Ground Zero.
Members of the 9/11 community will discuss the recently declassified documents that demonstrate direct Saudi support for 9/11 hijackers — and their outrage toward a sad line of Presidents past and present who have failed to demand accountability from the Kingdom for their role in the worst terrorist attack in American history.
Please RSVP by emailing: [email protected]
WHEN:
Tuesday, July 26 at 9:30am ET.
Press conference precedes golf play at the Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, NJ from July 29-31, 2022.
