Trump Defends Video Slamming Omar For Describing 9/11 as “Some People Did Something”

The liberal media, joined by their frequent allies at Fox News, attempted to smear President Donald J. Trump’s video as an incitement of violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar, yet the president is not backing down.
While speaking to ABC 5 Eyewitness News , President Trump defended his video showing horrifying footage of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks alongside Omar’s comments which seemed to downplay the attacks, describing them as “some people did something.”
In the interview with the local ABC affiliate, President Trump refused to apologized, and characterized Omar as anti-American.
“She’s been very disrespectful to this country, she’s been very disrespectful frankly to Israel, she is somebody who doesn’t understand life, real life, what it’s all about,” said President Trump. “It’s unfortunate, she’s got a weight on her that’s very very bad, I think for our country.”

He concluded, “I think she’s extremely unpatriotic and extremely disrespectful to our country.”
Omar made the remarks while speaking to the terrorist-affiliated Council on American Islamic Relations.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in hot water yet again after making controversial comments to a gathering of far-left Muslims where she trivialized the Sept. 11, 2001 Islamic terror attacks against the US.
“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 civil liberties,” Omar said during a meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood-linked 501c3 group.
Republicans quickly picked up on Omar’s callous remarks to undermine the role of Islam in committing the the Sept. 11 atrocities and piled on the Somali migrant lawmaker.
As Republicans pointed out the callous nature of Omar’s comments, leftists claimed President Trump’s video incited violence against the Muslim congresswoman.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Fox News joined the left in condemning the president for the video, with noted neocon Chris Wallace claiming President Trump “incited violence” with the “horrible images.”
Trump. What Ever. Attacking Omar. The big bad Trump.
Feb. 13, 2016--GOP debates. Trump said he, "Lost hundreds of friends on 911."
Next day on a talk show he said he, "Lost many-many friends on 911."
Trump never made those claims again. Ever.
Because, the Trump never attended a memorial service, donated one penny to a memorial fund or even sent a bouquet of flowers. He did nothing. Nothing, except use 911 for his own personal vendettas and undeserved advantage.
In other words the Trump is...………………...fill in your own blanks. I call him a liar, cheat and a fraud.
Rep. Omar surly must have been one of the thousands of Muslims in New Jersey cheering when the towers fell.
Well Mr. Trump says he bore witness to it, so it is obviously true.
Malarkey countered with malarkey, if Rep. Omar is the scariest thing you can come up with during this election cycle, then you'll just have to try harder.
Omar was elected by a bunch of radical Somalis !
"Tat's true for members of Minnesota's Somali community, many of whom have never been able to vote because of civil war, failed governments and mass displacement.
For many, voting is a novelty, but it's also seen as a privilege and a duty — not one to be taken lightly, Somali leaders say.
Anecdotal evidence from Somali leaders in St. Cloud, exit polls for Muslim voters and historically high turnout rates for all voters indicate it's l ikely Minnesota Somalis voted in high numbers last week. "
