Like many others, Jeremy Corbyn paid tribute to the victims of 9/11 on Twitter yesterday to mark the 15^th anniversary of the terror attack.

Just your standard ‘thoughts and prayers’ Tweet right?

My thoughts are with those whose lives were shattered on 9/11/2001 – and in the wars and terror unleashed across the globe in its aftermath

Well unfortunately the second half of his Tweet rubbed a bunch of people up the wrong way, and they were sure to let him know it.

Apparently his reference to the ‘wars’ and ‘terror’ that followed 9/11 didn’t warrant a mention:

Is anyone surprised that Jeremy Corbyn is using 9/11 to advance his anti-Western ideology? https://t.co/Q9sMFBCK43

The real terror was unleashed on New York on that very day. Something you seem to have forgotten. Shameful.

I don’t see anything wrong with Corbyn shouting out the victims of the 9/11 aftermath, even if it can be construed as a bit of an anti-western diss. After all more innocent people died AFTER 9/11 than on it but still essentially as a result of 9/11. Just a horrible day on so many levels with so many far-reaching consequences around the world, which we’ll probably be dealing with forever.

Either way, he might want to take notes from Lindsay Lohan next time (not).
