Pelosi Admits She Defended Ilhan Omar’s 9/11 Remarks Without Knowing What Was Said

(INSET: Ilhan Omar) WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 09: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, (D-CA) speaks during a ceremonial bill enrollment for legislation which would end U.S. involvement in the war in Yemen on April 9, 2019 in Washington, DC. President Donald Trump has said that he would veto the legislation if …

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday admitted that she does not know the content of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) recent remarks about 9/11 — despite offering a full-throated defense of the freshman congresswoman in the wake of criticism from President Donald Trump.

“I don’t think the congresswoman is anti-Semitic. I wouldn’t even put those in the same category,” Pelosi told interviewer Christiane Amanpour in Ireland. “We have no taint of that [anti-Semitism],” she added. “And just because they want to accuse somebody of that doesn’t mean that we take that bait.”

Pelosi also dismissed criticisms that she hasn’t done enough to defend Omar, conceding, “Until I talk to somebody, I don’t even know what was said.”

“I do know that what the president did was not right,” she added.

Omar is facing blowback for downplaying the September 11, 2001, terror attack, describing it last month private fundraiser for Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a day on which “some people did something,” before adding “and that all of us were starting to lose our civil liberties.”

In reaction to the Minnesota Democrat’s remarks, President Trump shared a video to social media of Omar’s remarks and scenes of the World Trade Center engulfed in flakes shortly after it was attacked by radical Islamic terrorists. The video’s caption reads: “WE WILL NEVER FORGET!”

They know they hate each other, but they have a truce, a Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of sorts.

Great analogy! Worth remembering!

Not surprised. She thinks George W Bush is still president.

What is worse defending words she didn’t know or not acting now that she does?

I believe it is just automatic with her at this point. She’s right, everybody else is wrong, no matter what.

This bitch will defend everything to do with the Democratic Party.

She does not care about the wellness of America, only her party.

This hapless fool needs to be in an institution for demented clowns.

Poor clowns. Know one should wish her upon them.

What a brainless twit. I’d be surprised if she can still remember to wipe herself.

Had an acquaintance a few years ago that the consensus of opinion was

‘He would rather climb that pole and tell a lie than look at his watch and give the correct time”

But we recognized it and just assumed most everything he said was a ‘lie’ until verified...

Trust but verify...RR..

Yes you are right on. Pelosi goes with the tide and makes no waves.
She’s a complete follower at this point.

By her own estimation, she's "a master legislator."

Which is more datngerous ?

Full-throated support for a radical islamist ?

Or
admitting support for an unknown statement ?

Close call. I can't decide just how idiotic and dangerous she really is.

A year or two ago we learned that at least one member of Congress is receiving a prescription for Alzheimer’s. Could it be Pelosi?
