Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr met with a wave of social media condemnation — and a swift dose of reality — after he accused Vice President Mike Pence of lying about Iran’s involvement in the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

On Saturday, Pence tweeted that Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani “assisted in the clandestine travel to Afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States” — a tweet that met with criticism from left-leaning commenters who claimed Pence miscounted the number of 9/11 hijackers, that Soleimani would not have helped Al Qaeda, and that Iran assisted the United States in the days following the attacks.
