The Republican Party's nominee for Maryland attorney general hosted a series of five radio shows in 2006 devoted to arguing in support of 9/11 conspiracy theories questioning if the terror attack was the work of an "elite bureaucrat" who had demolition charges in every building in New York City and even suggesting if those who died after a hijacked plane hit the Pentagon were killed elsewhere.
Michael Peroutka, a candidate best known for his ties to neo-Confederate organizations, made the remarks on The American View, a radio show he co-hosted, in October 2006 while discussing the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack.
"What happened on 9-1-1, I told you that I had been doing some research and watching some videos," Peroutka said during one of the episodes reviewed by CNN's KFile. "And I said that if the buildings in New York City, the World Trade Center buildings, came down by demolition charges -- that is to say -- if there was this evidence that there was that something was preset there, then the implications of that are massive," said Peroutka.
