A police officer was killed when a suspect rammed him and another officer with his car outside the Capitol on Friday. The suspect wielded a knife and was shot dead. The other officer hit by the car survived.

Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, tweeted: “Heartbroken to learn another [police officer] was killed while protecting the Capitol. My thoughts and prayers go out to the officer’s family and the entire Capitol police force. The death toll would have been worse if the assailant had an AR-15 [assault rifle] instead of a knife.”

In response, Congressman Greg Murphy of North Carolina wrote: “Would have been worse if they had been flying planes into the buildings also.”

She was the one that was wrong. Not him. I hope he does not apologize to this sleazy woman who should be in jail for fraud.

Weren't knives the weapons of choice to begin the carnage for the 19 lone wolves who did something on 9/11?

Asking for a friend.

Box cutters.

The brave Muslims used them to slit the throat of a stewardess on each plane.

And yet the squealers have falsely accused innocent people of heinous crimes and conspiracies. They have thus committed exactly what they accuse this man of, racial demagoguery and egregious bigotry on their part.

Projection is their pathology, and thus guilt is their motivation. Frauds like Omar aid and abet criminality, particularly in this case. Omar is making excuses for her corruption and malfeasance. This is a sign of desperation and a display of guilt.

Islamophobia? A fear of moslems? I am not scared of moslems. I have Islamomisia, a REVULSION of moslems.

Same for Homophobia. I have a REVULSION of fags.

I learned that word (Misia) from a FReeper here years ago.

I believe Flight 93 was earmarked for the Capitol. Those brave souls saved the seat of our Republic.

I visit the crash site of Flight 93 every year {they still don't have "The Tower of Bells" working after 20 years of trying?}.

Even though my son was working in the pentagon at the time, I sometimes wish that the brave fighters on 93 would have let it go to DC.

I know that is an evil thought, but sometimes...

This brother-marrying, campaign finance cheating whore is a stain on the US government, which is already pretty stained up as it is.

The Democrat Party objections to his common sense observation are simply bizarre.

Well, just playing devil's advocate, but the 'flying planes into buildings' comment was pretty specific. Couldn't he have used a more generic phrase? Maybe something like:

'The death toll would have been worse if the assailant had a truck bomb instead of a knife.'

I mean, 'truck bomb' could apply to just about anybody, from the Amish to the Zulus - nobody would ever naturally associate 'truck bomb' with The Religion of Peace! /s

;^)
