On Tuesday, former Navy Seal and U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Tx), called out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for making light of 9-11 in her comments to members of CAIR (Council for Arabic Islamic Relations), at a March 23rd CAIR meeting in Los Angeles, California. CAIR is a group that’s been listed as a terror group by the UAE (United Arab Emirates).
Crenshaw tweeted: First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as “some people who did something”. Unbelievable.

Rep Ilhan Omar cleverly used a screenshot of a tweet by leftist, Bobby Lewis who works for the radical Media Matters. Lewis’ tweet quoted Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade’s response to Omar’s stunning comments. Omar also tweeted a screenshot of Rep. Dan Crenshaw’s remarks.
Omar, who is never shy about lambasting anyone who gets in her way, but has the ability to play the victim card with great skill, tweeted: This is dangerous incitement, given the death threats I face. I hope leaders of both parties will join me in condemning it. My love and commitment to our country and that of my colleagues should never be in question. We are ALL Americans!

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade, immediately responded to Omar’s tweet, as he clarified his position, saying: “I didn’t intend to question whether Rep. Omar is an American – I am questioning how any American, let alone a United States Congresswoman, could downplay the 9/11 attacks.”

Rep. Dan Crenshaw also clarified his remarks, saying:
1. I never called you un-American.
2. I did not incite any violence against you.
3. You described an act of terrorism on American soil that killed thousands of innocent lives as “some people did something.” It’s still unbelievable, as is your response here.

Jon Swain, a reporter for the leftist Guardian, attempted to provide cover for Ilhan Omar over her disgusting remarks. In his tweet, Swain claimed he was tweeting a video to prove that Omar’s remarks were taken out of context.
The Youtube video he shares in his tweet starts out by portraying an Omar who hates our President, as she vows to make it her mission to get under his skin.
Swain claims that Omar’s remarks about 9-11 were misrepresented and that she actually did “mention terrorists.” Omar did, in fact, talk about terrorists, the problem is, she talked about people who terrorize Muslims, bemoaning how Muslim are victims, and how President Trump is responsible for “hatred” against Muslims in America.
Omar spends most of her time talking to the CAIR crowd about how oppressed she and her fellow Muslims are in America. Omar tells her fellow Muslims that they need to, “Raise hell” and “Make people uncomfortable.” She tells them that for “far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen.”
It was immediately after her remarks about how Muslims are victims in America, that she made the “someone did something” remark about the terrorists who killed almost 3,000 innocent people in America on 9-11.
Swaine’s remarks were completely misleading. He either didn’t take the time to watch the entire video himself, or he thought that no one else would watch the video.
The full video of @IlhanMN's speech in California shows that she did mention terrorists – in the build-up to the very snippet now being used to attack her by some Republicans and Fox News https://t.co/LiNApfYVgK
