Ilhan Omar describes the 9/11 attack “as some people who did something”

[Hindsight was 2020]

This is a massively disingenuous take on what she getting at. She was arguing about how because of 19 men whom she or any Muslims in the room have never met or knew did something awful the rest of them got turned into second class citizens

I believe Omar used those words as a ham handed way of expressing that as far as Muslims as individuals, the content of the act was irrelevant in making determinations about their personal guilt, since they had nothing to do with it.

That being said, this IS a powerful ad, and a disinterested observer who wrongly inferred what the ad is implying might reasonably be upset. It's effective because is no name calling against Omar, just juxtapositions of footage. And the Democrats fantasizing about violence against the congresswoman and her family because she was caught in a political gaffe are offputting.

It's really concerning just how much one person's life is more important to some Dems than the lives lost that day.

Screw you my dad lost 4 friends that day and my cousins best friend lost his dad. Stop using their deaths to justify your bigotry

She had a death threat less than a week ago, and the president is stoking the flames here. He's literally choosing politics over her physical safety. Trump is proving to everybody that he's willing to risk her life in order to get / keep votes and support.

How many death threats do you suppose President Trump gets in a day? Are you and Democrats "stoking the flames" and "choosing politics over his physical safety" whenever you dare question his words, deeds or authority? If not, why not?

A) Ever President gets death threats and they obviously get them more then some freshman congresswoman and B) he definitely gets less then his record holding predecessor yet he stoked flames there so you’re whataboutism fails
