Today marks the 18th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, when Al Qaeda terrorists crashed planes into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people. Or, as Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) likes to describe it, "some people did something." She used that description while speaking at an event for the Council of American-Islamic Relations in California. The full quote is below:
"Here's the truth," she said. "For far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen. Frankly, I'm tired of it. And every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it. CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties."
Every September 11 in New York City, the victims' loved ones read aloud the names of their brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, husbands and wives who perished that day. This year, one speaker did not let Omar's shocking comment go unaddressed. Nicholas Haros Jr., who lost his mother, Frances Haros, in the attack, showed up to today's ceremony with a shirt that read, "some people did something" and a message for the congresswoman.
"'Some people did something' said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota…Today I am here to respond to you exactly who did what to whom."

"'Some people did something,' said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota, to support and justify the creation of CAIR, [The Council on American-Islamic Relations]," Haros said after reading his mother's name. "Today I'm here to respond to you exactly who did what to whom. Madam, objectively speaking, we know who and what was done. There is no uncertainty about that. Why your confusion?"
The representative published the following message on Twitter today.
September 11th was an attack on all of us.
We will never forget the thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the largest terror attack on U.S. soil.
I will continue to fight to make sure we care for the first responders and families who lost loved ones. #NeverForget— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) September 11, 2019
Still, her initial message about the terror attacks appeared to be an attempt to try and skew the narrative with an emphasis on political correctness. The New York Times was guilty of the same thing today. Its report on the anniversary this morning read, “Eighteen years have passed since airplanes took aim at the World Trade Center and brought them down.” Airplanes, not terrorists.
The news outlet apologized and corrected the line following a hefty round of backlash.
"Eighteen years have passed since terrorists commandeered airplanes to take aim at the World Trade Center and bring them down," the controversial sentence now reads.
Today is always a somber day as we commemorate the tragedy. After crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, terrorists tried to crash one more plane before hero passengers downed the aircraft in a Pennsylvania field.
Never forget.
Here is the TRUTH Omar, Muslim Terrorists did something and forced all of us to become second class citizens except if you’re wearing a hijab, and I am tired of it.
The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam
John Quincy Adams on Islam
In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.
Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).
September 11th was an attack on all of us.
We will never forget the thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the largest terror attack on U.S. soil.
I will continue to fight to make sure we care for the first responders and families who lost loved ones.

Can you say TAQIYYA? I knew you could.
Nonsense. It was most certainly NOT an attack on Muslims. It was an attack BY Muslims.
Virtue signaling to violence signaling. It’s just a shot away...

infidel
Exactly.
The only solution to the mooselimb problem, is the final solution.
Omar’s election places a permanent stain on Minnesota.
Airplanes take down towers. SUV’s are killing GAIA. Guns kill people. Never call a spade a spade.
Thank-you Mr. Haros for TELLING THE TRUTH!
God Bless!
“...all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties...”
An outright lie
Every Muslim in the US is FREE to openly and totally condemn what happened on Sept 11.
They did NOT and they STILL-DO NOT!
THAT is what she won’t admit
campaign finance laws violated, immigration, marriage and tax fraud, supporter of terrorism, but Trump refuses to yank her naturalized citizenship and deport her.
with Omar in congress it aint just the camel’s nose in the tent. Its now the camel’s a$$.
New York Post cover was “Here’s your something” with a pic.
That's a lie.
“Some people did something” is her way of saying the Jews set bombs.
And I wonder why?
