Because:

And I don’t know if it’s related, but I can just sense not only in my election, but since being here in Washington, people are frustrated.

Well, if he doesn’t know if it’s related, why the hell is he using this time to score a political point about people being fed up with Washington?

And:

But the way we’re trying to deal with things and have been in the past, at least until I got here is, there’s such a logjam in Washington. And people want us to do better. They want us to help solve the problems that are affecting Americans in a very real way.

He’s not only self-aggrandizing with the ‘until I got here’ part, to me, this implies that the reason that this guy flew a plane into a building was because he wanted government to do better at solving the world’s problems. And that is, to me, far too close to blaming the victim.


Feel free to call that lies or bullshit. But when someone flies a plane into a building, I do not expect to hear people start talking about a logjam in Washington.
