(Hill) President Trump tweeted an edited video of recent comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) about the 9/11 attacks that provoked an avalanche of conservative criticism.
The video shows Omar speaking to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in March interspersed with video of the 9/11 attacks. Omar’s comments that “some people did something,” referring to 9/11, are spliced in between segments of footage, with the words “September 11, 2001 We remember” appearing at the end.
Omar’s comment has gone viral among conservative social media circles, with Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) slamming the comment as “unbelievable” and Fox News host Brian Kilmeade questioning on air, “You have to wonder if she’s an American first.”
