Far left Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar sparked outrage this week when she described the terror attacks of 9/11 as “Some People Did Something.”
The New York Post did not take Omar’s comments lightly. In fact, they were clearly very angry about the whole thing, and who could blame them?
Take a look at their cover from Thursday:

Here’s an excerpt from their editorial:
Ilhan Omar’s outrageous writeoff of 9/11’s horrors
How pathetic: A member of Congress can’t acknowledge what happened on one of the most horrific days in US history.
In a March 23 speech, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) complained of “the discomfort of being a second-class citizen” before claiming the Council on American-Islamic Relations “was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something, and [Muslims] were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”

Some people did something? Wow. What a way to describe the heinous surprise attack on America that claimed 3,000 lives.
Especially when Omar’s focus was Muslim rights: That made it all the more vital to note that the terrorists acted in the name of Islam — as self-described “jihadists” in a war against America, Israel and the West. To call them merely “some people” is to deny a cancer festering in the world Muslim community.
She went further: “Many people expect our community to feel like it needs to hide every time something happens.” Again, by “something happens,” she means (but won’t say) “when Muslims commit acts of terror.”
You’ll never guess who came running to Omar’s defense over this…
I’m not going to quote the NY Post’s horrifying, hateful cover.
Here’s 1 fact: @IlhanMN is a cosponsor of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. She‘s done more for 9/11 families than the GOP who won’t even support healthcare for 1st responders- yet are happy to weaponize her faith.

AOC even lashed out at Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a wounded veteran who lost an eye fighting terrorists for calling out Omar.
Notice that AOC tells Crenshaw he should “do something” about terrorism. Like she’s in ANY position to lecture him:
You refuse to cosponsor the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan w/completely out-of-context quotes.
In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don’t you go do something about that? https://t.co/rkb92IxkKX

Democrats have a real problem on their hands here.
Everyone in America is seeing this play out in real time.
