An anti-Muslim poster associating US Rep. Ilhan Omar with the September 11 attacks appeared Friday at a Republican-sponsored public gathering at the West Virginia statehouse, creating a firestorm of controversy that apparently led one official to resign

The poster, featuring pictures of Omar and the terror attacks in a fashion of an Internet meme, was displayed behind a table during WVGOP Day at the Capitol, an event in which the West Virginia Republican Party had invited the public to the Capitol's upper rotunda.The state GOP denounced the sign, saying that an exhibitor had put it up without its knowledge and that it demanded its removal.

Look no further, the GOP's anti-Muslim display likening me to a terrorist rocks in state capitols and no one is condemning them! https://t.co/0ouCaloWqh — Ilhan Omar March 1, 2019 Her mention of a hit list refers to recent news in which a US Coast Guard officer was accused of writing a hit list of prominent Democrats and journalists. Court documents say the congresswoman was named on that list.Friday's incidents came as Omar has come under criticism from members of both parties for suggesting that pro-Israel groups effectively buy off politicians and push allegiance to a foreign country.

And she supports the bastards that attacked us. She is a terrorist like it or not. Sick.

This Muslim woman thing is showing exactly what she is. She favors iran..Syria..and any of those Islamic States. If she opens up her stupid mouth and says this much...I wonder what all she ain't saying!

She scares me like AOC

Secret cell terrorist

She looks so pleasant in this picture, good choice CNN!

Expel her from office immediately

She's ALL YOURS Dems/Media...

does she condemn hamas? does she make antisemitic comments on the regular?

Appeared Friday...sounds fishy to me...

Disgrace!!

Sounds like WVa. That’s why they remain the shlttiest state - uneducated, unemployed, overweight, and outdated. No future for them

Fake conspiracy designed to distract from the real issues.

Islamist pig

Where are those people linking IIhan to 911 attacks ? If not for hypocrisy in the current America govt that truths is no longer welcome in the USA politics except lies. How many people are condemning those linking IIhan to such cruel poster? Despicable acts.

GOPLeader America knows who Ilhan is and she will be watched!!!

America isn’t done with Ilhan We know her intent Make America Islamic!!! She will be watched closely forever!! 😂😂

This woman is so obviously an ISIS implant otherwise she wouldn’t be promoting an ISIS ideology. Get her Out of this Country !!

It's WEST VIRGINIA

Trump's deranged 'Base' are just a disgusting blot on the political landscape and the once respected GOP is losing respect and credibility across the board by being associated with such trash.

This woman has done nothing wrong as far as I can see. Islamophobia is Anti Semitism's dirty sibling.

Personally can't stand the loud mouth dummy. She needs to wake up and realize she is in the USA..not Syria or Iran! She is supposed to be for American's...not against our intrest.

1st of all...ur reading this on cnn... there's a very high probability this is not even true! Or if it happened..it may have been a liberal who did it. Or CNN did it to draw sympathy for a dumb woman who opens her mouth and says tons of shit that offends alot of people!

America is a rubbish country in the 🌎 why treating your citizen like that

How about telling this story on your news or is this something you approve of? This scumbag is arrested! Suspect in assault caught on video on UC Berkeley campus arrested via abc7newsbayarea

I’m sure it was planted by a Democrat to make republicans look bad because that’s what they do. Lie and set stages.

And we’ll find out that a Democrat did it

She hates America She would love America to fall. She and AOC are one term. So bye bye

Alert alert alert ... Jussie Smollett distraction

Republicans If you have any values left after 2yrs of complacency standing by Trumps lying, racist Republicans ...LEAVE this Party! Reestablish the Grand Old Party you want to support. Stand up and save your party Deplorable‼️ and sad 😡

If there is a drop of truth to US Rep. Ilhan Omar having anything to do with 9/11 she needs to be tried for treason. Who is she giving our countries top secrets to? US Rep. really. God help our country.

I'm not worried about that fake news. Question I found out she married to her sibling brother and living with her x husband. There 200000 petition signed, witness testimony from her district and police investigation. Facts. Is it true or not true.

If it looks like a duck....

Probably another fake story.

In other news, it has only been 15 days since Ilhan Omar was forced to apologize for anti-semitism by her own party. She's at it again. It's not a coincidence when you keep getting called out for anti-semitism for years. Eventually we just have to admit you're just a bigot.

Don't worry Omar, CNN will give you a big kiss and make it feel better. CNN hates America to.

Is it true? ?

Disgusting ploy

Vicious !

When you think the republican party can't get any more stupid....

I guess hate breeds hate

So, to be fair, a poster associating all white Christian delegates, with Timothy McVeigh, would appropriate?

THANKS TO OMAR, OCASIO-CORTEZ, AND TLAIB VOTERS ARE MOVING TOWARD THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. WHITE AMERICANS WILL NOT SUPPORT TWO RACIST MUSLIMS AND ONE LUNATIC. IN 2020 REPUBLICANS WILL TAKE BACK THE HOUSE, KEEP THE SENATE AND TRUMP WILL WIN ANOTHER 4 YRS.

I’m sorry but if you advocate for lenient sentences for ISIS followers don’t be surprised if you get blowback like this

Where is the FBI ? SLEEPING ? FBI

Those who can’t be criticized are your masters.

She a traitor an anti-Semite who attacks the people of this nation and calls for an overthrow of our President , She has to be removed from out government she is the enemy with in as all dems are showing as they go father coummunist

Grow up all of u

Shouldn’t she be jailed for marriage to her brother

She need to stop spewing hate. She talks about taking down our President and AOC has a hit list on liberals that vote with conservatives. What is this, liberal mafia wars?

She can dish it out but she can't take it!

I should have said I knew something like this was coming.

I will agree that the poster is in poor taste to say the least but the fact remains we went from denouncing Radical Islamist to walking on eggshells when talking about Muslim terrorist, and while covers BS stories between Republicans & Democrats real issues are not reported.

Call a cat a cat.

I think it was anti-terrorist, not anti-Muslim. Huge difference. IlhanMN has ties to multiple terrorists organizations.

Cant stand this woman. She needs to leave. She is anti american. And married her brother. Nasty

Did they catch the two Nigerians who posted it?

Republicans, dragging America back to Jim Crow and night riders with every passing day..now in colour.

West Virginia, where John married his sister. He 32 sister 17. Made their home at a vacant lot, inside a beautiful rusted out delivery truck. Its tight now with 6 kids.

Goddamn Republicans!!!

I feel bad for her. I know Terrorist done an awful thing to us. But I don’t think racism is where our country should be. We should be better than that.

Cross WV off my travel bucket list.

Well It’s ‘True’

Deplorable

She should resign

How is that investigation coming along? Anything? On the claim that she married her brother to cheat immigration laws... when are you “debunking” that one? It should be easy! Check the court house, get the birth certificates, a copy of the ICE documents and prove it wrong...or

Just disgusting, why would the anyone in Rep. Party even do this,for what purpose?This type of national level Republican politics has become a cancer in our country,totally unacceptable.There is something horribly wrong with these people, this ugliness has no place in our country

This is what happens when you let opioid-crazed hillbillies vote.

So... About 'Never Forget' in conjunction with Surely, noone forgot this, right? What a joke. When do we actually going to see people as individuals instead of a whole group?

SW_Crisis good story..pathetic that such vitriol and blatant bigotry still exists.. WVGOP

The display was anti terrorist and linking IlhanMN to it was spot on

All this proves is that America really hasn't come that far from the ugly parts of our history. America is no better now than it was hundreds of years ago.. Now America is just better at hiding behind poorly written documents.

she seems to be worse than that along with a couple of her team mates in the congress

Nothing wrong here

Truth hurt?

don't think she had much to do with 911, but not so sure she nor Tlaib believes in our Constitution as much as they believe in Sharia Law! That is the real problem because she and Tlaib will use our Constitution against it's Citizens!

Maybe Ilhan will be forced to resign for hating Jews. Hypocrite.

It was not associating her with the 9/11 terror attacks. It was merely served as a warning that we now have a muslim in Congress where her district is the 1 in the nation with terrorists in it. A warning, if you will! That's how I took it anyway! IlhanMN

Proud that a great Italian-American like Mike Caputo stood up against such hatred!

It’s West Virginia so where is the surprise?

You are the reason why she is being attacked so

Sick and disgusting behavior by the Republicans but not unexpected considering Trumps anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Remember when she tweeted “Allahu Akbar :)” right after Benghazi? Tell me again about Dog Whistles.

😂😂😂 true story though. Especially with her ties to terror organization leaders.

Never forget, you said....

Meanwhile Jared is protecting the Saudis and Trump is praising Kim Jung Un...

Is this to take attention from the rampant antisemitism pushed by her and the DNC? But then again who’s ever heard of a Muslim that hates Jews 🤷🏿‍♂️

This woman brings out Republican vitriol like nothing else. It’s quite disturbing.

Will we ever see the ”how low can they go” of attack politics, sadly I say no 🤕 meaness can be addictive

Nothing but a bunch of racists we shouldn’t even be surprised ! Hate mongers !

Dear CNN, Why is it that you haven’t reported on Omar’s continuous anti-Semitic remarks? Why do you always take an anti-American position on every “story” you make?

Don’t insult the Jew hater or they’ll be consequences. No double standard here

Not saying I agree with the poster, but it’s odd that comparing the President to Hitler is Good, but this poster is bad......get consistent people

I'm pretty sure IlhanMN if she lived in Jersey City, would've been one of those folks celebrating the attack on America She hates America & Jews

I see the republicans are all in on the racism

Deplorable

Have you people not read anything she has said or done? She openly supports a known terrorist organization. She is a horrible person. Holy crap Americans are dumbed down by the media

She’s horrible!

What if I told you she married her brother...

Except she has the exact same mindset as any Islamic terrorist

Should The WestVirginia GOP Appologize For IIhanOmar Attacks?

She is a well known anti semite

The GOP has no bottom ... anything to push a false narrative! 🙄
