Ilhan Omar Uses Iconic Words From George Bush to Defend Her 9/11 Comments. The Internet Erupts.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) used iconic words former president George W. Bush made at Ground Zero atop a heap of rubble in New York City in September 2001 to defend her widely-criticized remarks trivializing the 9/11 terrorist attack that claimed thousands of American lives. . .
The Democrat posted the outrageous defense in a tweet published on Friday:
“The people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” President George W. Bush
Was Bush downplaying the terrorist attack?
Predictably, Omar then suggested her criticism derives from her being Muslim: “What if he was a Muslim?” she added to the tweet.
“The people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” President George W. Bush

What if he was a Muslim 🤔 https://t.co/XMazssoD49

The freshman congresswoman’s defense received swift backlash online, since, of course, no one in his right mind would suggest then-President Bush was downplaying anything. Bush was simply threatening those who carried out the attack in its immediate aftermath — directly the opposite of Omar’s callous trivialization.
Here's the clip of GWB when he visited Ground Zero on September 21, 2001. Maybe @IlhanMN will watch it and gain some understanding of the absurdity of comparing her comments with his. pic.twitter.com/A5Cz4wHDuJ

Remember that time Prez Bush stood on the rubble of the Twin Towers & flippantly waved his hand & described his surroundings as “some people did something?”
OH WAIT NO… that disgusting description was from you.
Bush beat the hell out of the terrorists. You trivialized them.

I am going to enjoy watching the people who threw their lot in with her being forced to die on these hills over and over. https://t.co/EcNinbuk0s
