Two of Wright’s more controversial sermons, at least by GOP standards, were at the center of the storm. “The Day of Jerusalem’s Fall” delivered on Sept. 16, 2001, called the United States out for it’s hypocrisy when retaliating for the World Track Center attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001. The unrepentant Wright pulled no punches:
“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye… and now we are indignant, because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought back into our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”
