AOC, Rashida Tlaib leap to defense of Ilhan Omar after her 'some people did something' 9/11 remarks

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., have both jumped to the defense of their under fire fellow freshman Democrat Ilhan Omar, saying Thursday her comment in reference to 9/11 has been wildly taken out of context.

Omar, D-Minn., is facing backlash after a speech at a Muslim rights group’s event in which she described the September 11, 2001, terror attacks as “some people did something”.

The comment has drawn ire from the likes of Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Tx, and the New York Post, which published a dramatic front page Thursday with an infamous photo of New York City’s Twin Towers on fire on the day of the attacks.

The page read: “Here’s your something: 2,977 people dead by terrorism.”

Tlaib, when asked by MSNBC if Omar should have rethought her words, said that she had been taken out of context.

“They do that all the time, especially women of color, they take our words out of context because they’re afraid because we speak truth, we speak truth to power,” Tlaib said.

This is what happens when Hamas ends up in Congress..I never imagined after one of the darkest days in American history that we would have Jihadists in Congress, never even imagined it for a second..those two Jihadist Jew hating douche bags were probably passing out candy and dancing in the streets as the towers fell..because that is what Muslim Jihadists do

“especially women of color”

She’s going to wear out that card really fast, if she keeps using it.

They lie to power, to confuse the Citizens of the United States.

She’s unfit to serve in a government position.

Note how fast they demanded Trump take a hike, for nothing, and how they would have reacted if he had done a number of things she has done.

Of course, because like all Democrats, 9/11 was no big deal to them. Just America’s chickens coming home to roost.

When you replay the video of someone saying something, how is that taking it. out of context?

You said you’d never forget America.

Like everything else, that was a lie. :(

It wasn’t taken ‘out of context’. It was exactly the opposite. It was exactly ‘in context’ given the audience she was speaking to.

Count the Latinos and the Muslims who died that day in the towers and then maybe you’ll get their attention

That’s because the McCarren-Walter Act of 1952 was quietly repealed in 1990. It restricted immigration, and it outlawed Islam in America.

It is clear that these three repulsive women hate white Americans especially white Christians. They will do all they can to destroy what they dislike. Yet it would be a grave mistake to believe that they are an anomaly or exist in a political or cultural vacuum. America is being transformed. The country has admitted millions of Islamic people who while they want to live here, retain the same palpable hatred of white Christians. It does no good to pretend that the hatred does not exist or to assume politically correct but delusional sentiments such as “diversity is our strength”. Cortez and the others represent a growing and dangerous constituency. Even the most radical, America hating Islamist would accept a green card. However once here his politics and attitude toward America would remain rancid and hateful toward the people who built this country.
