Pelosi said she wants to speak to Omar about her tweet questioning then-President George W. Bush’s New York City address to rescue workers at ground zero, days after the worst terror attack in American history, in which he declared, "And the people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”
Here's who could replace Kirstjen Nielsen at Homeland Security Watch Full Screen to Skip Ads Omar tweeted “Was Bush downplaying the terrorist attack? What if he was a Muslim,” under the Bush quote delivered at ground zero.
The tweet quickly drew criticism and came just a day after Omar was the subject of a New York Post cover depicting the flaming twin towers and the lawmaker's comments before a Muslim advocacy group that “some people did something,” on Sept. 11, 2001. The comment was widely seen as downplaying the significant and horror of a tragedy that claimed nearly 3,000 lives. Omar claimed that in the aftermath of 9/11, Muslim civil liberties had suffered.
Pelosi has yet to comment on Omar’s recent comments and tweets, but plans to respond at some point, she said.
“As is my custom with my colleagues, I call them in before I call them out,” Pelosi said. “I’ll have some comment after I do speak to her.”

Yes, “civil liberties” DID suffer after 9/11
Now, everyone else gets felt up and scrutinized by the TSA, while people like Omar get waved through security in concealing garb
“...She was rescued from terrorism in Somalia by the United States and this the thanks we get from her. And she’s not the only one....”
Typical somalie moslem. Useless as teats on a boar hog and has absolutely no business even being in the USA, let alone the Peoples’ House...whadda POS.
That picture is ripe for photoshop...
Isis outfits? Nazi? Rodeo Clowns?
suicide vests
That works too.
We need to stop trying to help the people in countries that are dominated by fundamentalist Islam. If they’re going to hate us anyway, then that hate might as well be mixed with a healthy dose of fearful respect because we laid waste to their country in the process of eliminating the enemy. They need to learn that there are Earth-shaking consequences for attacking the United States, or for supporting those who do.
Oh, and we also need to STOP BRINGING THESE SAVAGES INTO OUR OWN COUNTRY!
Ditto that.
Please, tell me WHAT civil liberties have been curtailed against the members of your “religion” ?
Inquiring minds want to know
They hate each other
Kiln an Omar is not AOC
I do however get the point
She’s insinuating that people are only criticizing her comments for being soft on terrorists because she is a muslim, so those people are “islamophobic”.
Doesn’t really make any logical sense, but that is the argument.
She ain’t calling anyone in. Pelosi is terrified of Omar and her crew of anti-Semitic terrorist advocates. https://t.co/FJkYOcCCZb— Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) April 12, 2019
Thank you for that explanation. Okay, I think I get it now. She’s trying to equate her “somebody did something” statement with Bush’s “people who knocked these buildings down” statement and implying that the negative reaction to her statement (but not Bush’s) is due to anti-Muslim bigotry. It’s such a non sequitur that I admit that I didn’t know what the hell she was trying to say.
It’s pretty bizarre, asinine logic, mainly because “somebody did something” is quite different than “people who knocked these buildings down,” with the former being substantially more vague than the latter. I get the argument that “people who knocked these buildings down” downplays 9/11 as it says nothing about the people killed nor about the motives of the demolition team. However, context is everything. Everyone knew what Bush meant at that moment and obviously he didn’t intend to downplay anything.
Iwould like to steal this. With your OK?
LOL. Have at it. :)
