New York Post: Ilhan Omar’s pathetic bid to play victim after she downplayed 9/11

Democrats, Twitter and the national news media offered plenty of outrage Thursday over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s description of 9/11 as a day when “some people did something.” But they directed it entirely at The Post’s front page for exposing and highlighting Omar’s cavalier words.

About the remark itself: total silence, with a few terse “no comments” from Democrats.

Omar, echoed by her allies, played the victim, accusing us of “incitement.” Others claimed we took her remark “out of context.”

Here’s the relevant passage of her 20-minute speech to the Council of American-Islamic Relations: “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.”

She’d quit talking so much if someone took her out to the parking lot and curb stomped her

Her comments were horrible and everyone should have condemn them, but the Dems are defending her and her statement.

Let them defend her, and let Americans see ever more clearly what the Democrat Party has become. Omar, AOC, Tlaib, Harris, Sanders, Warren, Hirono... they hate America. To hell with all of them.

..... This years 9/11 Memorial should be quite interesting with these loose lipped Useful Idiot Shariah Apologists in office ....

I'm confident that PDJT will make hay with this one, in a most dramatic and memorable way.

[GSWarrior]

More likely she shows up at the Capitol strapped with explosives.

[mountainlion]

“some people did something.” ....

And then some people did something called shock and awe.

[Leep]

Some people got wiped out in Syria.

Unbelievable. The Yemenis in NYC are calling on their fellow-Yemenis who own bodegas and newsstands to stop carrying the NYPost, and to instigate a boycott. They are demanding that the NYPost be shut down.

I’m waiting for genius de Blasio and schmucky Schumer to come out with some comments.

I can't stand to see those pictures of people jumping without weeping. Bad enough I saw the towers burning. I guess I was "lucky" not to be close enough to see individual people leaping to their deaths. I just hope they did not suffer, other than the terror while facing being burned to death or the impact. NYC had such an atmosphere of death over all of it, it was like being inside a charnel house. I hightailed it out of town to spend the Sabbath with friends. I needed some respite from the constant news reports repeating endlessly the death and destruction.

I learned everything I needed to know about muzzlimes on that day.

Thanks for the link. I cried like I did that day. I’ll never forget. I can’t believe
people of the US have voted this varmint into the congress.

[A strike]

“Allah willing,...”

That’s Inshallah to you, infidel.

[Newtoidaho]

It would be a real shame if someone were to throw a vat of acid in her face.

[blondiegoodbadugly]

same here

[blondiegoodbadugly]

May I share your post?

[Jack Hammer]

Give Omar another 50 IQ points, and she still wouldn’t make it to ‘average.’

Dear Editorial Board, New York Post:

God bless you for doing the right thing and shoving it back up her hijab.

3000 of OUR people were murdered by her ideological brothers on 9-11. And she comes here and waves it in our faces like a Victory dance.

She should be unceremoniously removed from Congress and have her sorry excuse of an ass deported back to Somalia or whatever sh*thole she crawled out of.

[norwaypinesavage]

A REAL news story would point out that CAIR was founded in 1994, 7 years before 9/11.
