A simple apology would have been the least Democrats could offer after a video surfaced of freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar brushing off the 9/11 attacks as "Some people did something." Yes, Rep. Omar, "Some people" "Did something".
Omar "Is just speaking the truth," Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib said, adding that "This is just [a] pure racist act by many of those, hateful acts, by those, because she does speak truth, when it talks about different issues that they don't disagree with. I'm really outraged."
Basically, the Democrats are saying that anyone who questions or challenges Omar's radically insensitive remarks is a racist, and that right-wingers are a greater threat to America than radical Islamic terrorists.
Omar even went after former President George W. Bush in an effort to deflect the heat from herself, pointing out that he referred to "The people who knocked these buildings down" while visiting Ground Zero and asking if he was also "Downplaying" the attack.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi subsequently tried to turn the tables on President Trump by announcing that she had requested a "Security assessment to safeguard Congresswoman Omar" after the president posted a tweet criticizing Omar's comments; the speaker's comments then elicited a scathing rebuke from Trump.
"Before Nancy, who has lost all control of Congress and is getting nothing done, decides to defend her leader, Rep. Omar, she should look at the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and ungrateful U.S. HATE statements Omar has made," he wrote.
Omar "Is out of control, except for her control of Nancy!".
