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

[Ban my account ffs!]

I can see how the words she used seem to minimize the events of September 11th, but she also has a point about how all Muslims are blamed for it.  She is letting her frustration about that fact get to her and it results in coming off as self-serving and unsympathetic in the eyes of her critics.

Her statement was basically saying that some Muslims did something that all Muslims essentially got blamed for. That's not at all untrue, because after 9/11 you did have Muslims being attacked and even Sikhs were attacked after being mistaken for Muslims.

She described the 9/11 attacks "as some people who did something"

Most things are "some people who did something".

Thats exactly the point, and describing the 9/11 attacks like that is totally disrespectful  

So is a congressman asking the father of two children killed in a hate crime about violence in Islam...which is precisely the result of the point Omar was making.

These are the people that represent us...the majority representative sum of who we are as a nation.  Boy aint that sure sum’in ter be proud of!
