Video has surfaced in recent days of freshman congresswoman Ilhan Omar referring to the 9/11 terrorist attack as “some people who did something ” and then going on to justify the rise of CAIR in America.
The remarks were made by Omar while speaking to a crowd at a March fundraiser for Council on American-Islamic Relations.
After seeing the video, Dan Crenshaw, who also is a freshman member of Congress, slammed Omar’s remarks as “Unbelievable.”
Crenshaw said, “First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as ‘some people who did something.’ Unbelievable.”
On Wednesday, Omar reacted to criticism from both Crenshaw and Brian Kilmeade over her 9/11 remarks. She provided screen captures of the statements from both men and captioned them with, “This is dangerous incitement, given the death threats I face. I hope leaders of both parties will join me in condemning it.”
She added, “My love and commitment to our country and that of my colleagues should never be in question. We are ALL Americans!” Video Below
Dan Crenshaw immediately fired back at Omar with an unintimidated, bold reply. He said, “1. I never called you un-American. 2. I did not incite any violence against you. 3. You described an act of terrorism on American soil that killed thousands of innocent lives as ‘some people did something.'”
