'WTF'? Slate's take on who 'commemorated 16th anniversary of 9/11' sparks double-takes

As the nation remembers the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks today and mourns those who were lost that terrible day, Slate narrowed it down this way:

Conservatives commemorated the 16th anniversary of 9/11 on Monday. https://t.co/KjbKSe1lyN pic.twitter.com/IpeLAbAFKA

Wait, what?

If I were a liberal, I'd be kinda pissed at this headline. https://t.co/bCas2Iy0kK

It certainly is… odd.

Strange headline. Democrats don't care about 9/11 now? I highly doubt that. What's up with this https://t.co/IHdmSfNbdv

You. Will. Not. Use. September. 11th. To. Divide. Us.

Signed, a conservative
