Beauchamp writes: "This week, leading Republicans and their allies in the media have been using an out-of-context quote from a recent speech by Rep. Ilham Omar (D-MN) to paint her as an anti-American radical indifferent to those killed during the 9/11 attacks. There was even a front-page New York Post juxtaposing her name with an image of the attack on the Twin Towers."
EXCERPT:
Here’s Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), one of the first Republicans to attack Omar over this, retweeting someone who references a false conspiracy theory that CAIR is a terrorist front group:
First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as “some people who did something”.
Unbelievable.

Here’s President Trump’s favorite morning show, Fox & Friends, outright labeling her disloyal:
Brian Kilmeade on @IlhanMN's 9/11 comments: "You have to wonder if she's an American first."
686 people are talking about this
Here’s Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel labeling her both “anti-Semitic” and “anti-American”:
Ilhan Omar isn’t just anti-Semitic – she’s anti-American.
Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives to Islamic terrorists on 9/11, yet Omar diminishes it as: “Some people did something.”
Democrat leaders need to condemn her brazen display of disrespect.
