Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina quoted lyrics from Toby Keith‘s song “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American).”
“My father had begged me for years to go on USO Tours, and I was so busy — we were doing 130 shows a year — that I just didn’t have it in my schedule,” Keith told reporters at the time. “Finally, he passed away in March, and then 9/11 happened. I was like, ‘Now I have to go honor him.
’ I was sitting out there, just a few days after the towers came down. I was working out in the gym, and I heard these talking heads say, ‘Well, I guess we could bomb them. That would bethe American way,’ and I was like, ‘What just happened to us? Are we supposed to just stand by and let this happen? Could we not be mad as hell about this?'”
