Abdul El-Sayed's 9/11 Tweet Equated 3,000 Dead With 1 Million Abroad
El-Sayed structured the post over two days: 3,000 dead in New York first, then near a million abroad, blamed on U.S. ignorance.
- September 11, 2021: El-Sayed tweeted he would 'mourn 3K lives... in NYC' that day.
- Next line read: 'Tomorrow, I'll mourn ~1M lives... in 3 countries.'
- He called those ~1 million deaths 'perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my country.'
Why it matters: He counts his own dead precisely and everyone else's by a rounded guess; the arithmetic states his priorities.
