Screens display a video of former President George W. Bush speaking during an event to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021, in Springfield, Va.
“One should savor these moments of unity this morning — feel how good that feels,” said Fox News Channel anchor Dana Perino, shortly after Bruce Springsteen sang “I’ll See You in My Dreams” at New York’s World Trade Center memorial. Shortly after, onetime first responder John Feal told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi that “we label each other too much. It was great to be a human being” after the attacks.
Wallace and her co-anchor, Brian Williams, twice talked about former President Donald Trump’s absence from Sept. 11 remembrances Saturday — both times without saying his name.
