Former President Donald Trump recently hosted a fundraiser attended by a prominent Republican bitcoin advocate, Bruce Fenton, who has endorsed conspiracy theories related to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The event took place prior to Trump's appearance at a cryptocurrency conference in Nashville.
During the fundraiser, Fenton shared a photo with Trump and expressed his belief that 'God is on his side.' Fenton, a former New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate and vocal cryptocurrency investor, has a history of questioning the official narrative of the 9/11 attacks.
In various social media posts, Fenton has made false claims, including suggesting that a building in the World Trade Center complex collapsed 'for no reason' and criticizing the government's account of the events of September 11 as 'laughable.' He has also raised suspicions about the lack of video footage showing the plane hitting the Pentagon.
Notably, Fenton faced backlash last year for referring to Israel as 'an apartheid state' while working for Vivek Ramaswamy's GOP primary campaign. Ramaswamy distanced himself from Fenton's remarks, emphasizing a disconnect between their views.
These developments highlight the intersection of politics, cryptocurrency advocacy, and controversial beliefs within certain circles of the Republican Party. Fenton's presence at the fundraiser alongside Trump underscores the diverse range of perspectives and affiliations within the political landscape.
