Rep. Ilhan Omar on Tuesday lambasted critics attacking her for comments she made about the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, labeling the rhetoric shared by President Donald Trump and his allies as “vile” and “demented.”
In recent weeks, far-right conservatives have accused her of having a callous view of 9/11. While speaking at a banquet hosted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations in March, Omar discussed how terrorism had led to a rise in Islamophobia. She talked about how whenever an act of violence was committed by Muslims, the entire community suffered the consequences.
Fox News and other right-wing media outlets slammed her, claiming she was trying to minimize the attacks. Trump posted a video on his personal Twitter account that featured imagery from 9/11 and used a portion of Omar’s remarks to make her look bad.
