(Mediaite) Conversations both online and on-air continue to be contentious on the topic of Rep. Ilhan Omar this week. After several prior controversies, one of which resulted in a watered-down House resolution following anti-Semitic comments from the congresswoman, the latest flare-up is over remarks Omar made about 9/11.
On Fox News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle, guests Asra Nomani, founder of the Muslim Reform Movement organization, and Qasim Rashid, a Democratic candidate for the Virginia State Senate, clashed several times in a heated segment that host Laura Ingraham tried to keep together as best she could.
Nomani said the way Omar referred to the attack on 9/11 was “completely callous and insensitive,” and added that it is “typical” of what she and other American Muslims hear “in our living rooms and in our mosques.”
