UNREAL! Lincoln Center in New York City Honors Activist Who Praised Osama Bin Laden
New York City’s Lincoln Center has honored an activist who said that she “admired” Osama bin Laden following the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attack.
The Lincoln Center hosted a pop up performance in honor of activist Yuri Kochiyama on what would have been her 100th birthday this week.
Fox News reports that “the California native spent most of her adult life in the Big Apple. But even though she adopted New York as her home, in a 2003 interview with The Objector magazine, she praised the man responsible for a horrific attack that killed 2,606 of her unsuspecting neighbors on a sunny Tuesday morning.”
Kochiyama specifically said that she admired the terrorist because of his “severe dislike for the US government and those who held power in the US.”
“I’m glad that you are curious why I consider Usama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire,” she told the interviewer.
