WASHINGTON: The top Democrat in the US Congress ordered a safety review for a Muslim lawmaker and her family on Sunday after accusing US President Donald Trump of putting her in danger by tweeting a video of her spliced with footage of the 9/11...

The clip, which had been viewed more than 9.4 million times as of Sunday afternoon, ends with the words:"SEPTEMBER 11 2001 WE REMEMBER."

"I find her comments to be absolutely disgraceful and unbefitting of a member of Congress, and I think that it is a good thing the President is calling her out for those comments. And the big question is: Why aren't Democrats doing it as well?"
