Condemnation began Friday night after Trump tweeted the video with the caption “Never Forget” and continued on the campaign trail Saturday.

By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow April 13 at 1:15 PM Democratic presidential candidates blasted President Trump over the weekend for inciting violence, perpetuating Islamophobia and politicizing the worst day in American history after he escalated attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar by tweeting a video of her image spliced with footage of the burning Twin Towers on 9/11.

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who served in Afghanistan, reacted late Friday night over several tweets to Trump‘s attack on Omar. “The threats against the life of @IlhanMN make clear what is at stake if we fail to do this, and to beat back hate in all its forms,” he wrote.

This anti-semitic woman has called America a racist nation. She is the hater, she is the racist. If she hates America, then leave, and go back to Somalia.

There are just no more words for that drain on society loser and what he had done to n this country. 2020 cannot come fast enough!! To get him out of there.

If this ignorant president and his stupid followers believe this woman is for terrorism then all they have to do is look in their mirrors😡

This a fake America

No the GOP NEED TO CONDEMN TRUMP ATTACKS ON THS WOMAN. Not everything is on Democrats. This is republican bigotry and they need to be constantly called out on it. Stop pandering to this party of hatred and do your job media

Witch

Hopefully he continues making it smaller by deporting everyone that voted for her (tongue firmly in cheek)

Obviously these disconnected schleps have not been paying attention to the reactions. Soooo wrong on many levels.

Until you learn how to Articulate yourself a little better, perhaps it may be a good idea to be quiet.

🇺🇸 Hoooah

No he showed that we aren’t putting up with your crap! This is North America a country founded under CHRISTIAN BELIEFS not Muslim’s!

She represents a sworn Enemy of America!

Trump is a deranged man child

Today and every day since he stoked birthed BS multiple years

She deserve what she gets for her comments

🤮🤮

He did not mention enough all she is trying to do is divide me Americans. A elected official who seeks to divide and introduce socialism.

Omar and the democrated party have made America smaller not the President.

Democrats. Follow Nancy Pelosi lead on this. You r playing into Trump's Us against Them politics. Get away from this fast. Any argument between Trump and a Muslim on 911, Trump will win that argument any day. The Congresswoman must learn to speak in public about sensitive issues.

trump is, Abusing his, presidentdial, POWER'! Trumps, administration, IS' ABOVE' THE',...LAW'!

He made it less America!

POTUS That is because trump is a small man. A small, small man.

Ilhan is never accused of 'attacking'. Yet others r always accused of 'attacking' Omar.

I just leave this here

omar is not an AMERICAN

Gotta love the fakenews, the reliable mouthpiece of democrats. Any comment on 9/11 denier IlhanMN's remarks? President did not even mention her religion and he would have responded any 9/11 denier the same way. StopTheLies

Big-up my Prezo D. TRUMP she deserved it. shame on u ' ilhan Omar' did u know how many lives perished there? friend of hell!!!

he makes it 'smaller' every day he is in office...

The fact that people STILL try to pretend that this president isn't a white nationalist, strongly suggests that there are a whole helluva lot more of them than we could ever imagine...

I am still going to vote for him because I am sick and tired of dumbass democrats fighting the president instead of working on taking care of this country. If you want to take care of the border crossers before you take care of your own sick citizens then you are just as stupid.

The Incredible Shrinking America...lol

well, trump (asshole), not withstanding, some of us are offended by the words 'somebody did something'.....

He diminishes our standing in the world everyday. IStandWithIlhanOmar

Why is stating facts so scary to the WP? Is it because they don’t really know what a fact is? Well here is a fact. Muslins killed nearly 3000 of our citizens on 9/11 Not some people. Muslins. Theirs a fact for your ass.

Omar is a Islamist apologist with a documented track-record of ties to Jihadi movements. Trump didn’t attack her...he exposed her! Muslim Brotherhood CAIR Hamas

These are the people who “make America smaller,” Democrats!

Omar hates America. She castigates Jews and Christians. Since being elected, she is a voice of hate. But if you criticize her, Twitter and Facebook will evict you bc you speak out against her hate speech. She can return to Somalia but she would have no voice. remember911

Today?

How small will America become if we allow those who want to destroy our Constitution to gain control. We see where you and they are headed.

No matter who she is, what she said it’s just plain wrong. No excuses.

No this bitch right there brought it ALL on to herself. Your kind attacked our country and murdered thousands of innocent people YOU SHOULDN’TEVEN BE IN OFFICE. YOU ARE A DISGUSTING PIECE OF CAMEL SHIT AND NEED TO RESIGN NOW

ImpeachOmar

If that was an attack then y’all Democrats and supporters have been attacking a lot !!!

Was it okay for her to attack the President by saying “he’s not human”? Not all people are willing to kneel to her.

Because Americans never been racist before? I mean they did bomb asians, blacks, brown, and white so perhaps this is progress i guess.. For Americans if you have oil or you are a socialist or they just don't like your government you are getting bomb no matter your color..

Not true. He defended it against your propaganda.

HEY WASHINGTON POST THIS WHAT THE NEW YORK POST THINKS OF YOU EAT THIS COVER SUCKER 😎🇺🇸

Rep Omar does not truly represent American feelings

Looks like WP isn't getting much traction on this story.

She certainly made Americans think differently about Omar.

Yep letting another Democrat get a Free pass at being vulgar, disrespected hateful, self-righteous little children!

Left-wing reporters and Democrats have shown what a bunch of hypocritical fruitcakes they are by defending an anti-Semitic, Muslim extremist. They have made themselves smaller and dumber.

Awwwww. Did the President do something?

Oooh please. Just stop! Get some help!!! Ilhan Omar is a racist nazi!!!! And when someone mentions it u guys protect her!! Soo by definition ur nazis as well! Washington post is a nazi news paper like the sturmer or some shit from Hitler!!!

Do you really think IlhanMN doesn't know how to trigger Trump? She's not the victim here. They are much alike, divisive and toxic.

Lol you quoted the stupidest one.

Huh? Just b'cuz realDonaldTrump reacted to this woman on his tweeter feed🤔 I just read she was a refugee & she studied terrorism? Why? She's lucky to be a Congress woman of the United States of America. My hopes & prayers, she'll do good, not only for her people. God Bless 🇺🇸!

I keep saying that trump is big lie he support dictators in Middle East what would you except from him more than that ?!!!

She is an embarrassment.

And Omar made America sillier

The propaganda post has spoken!

I think his attack is warranted!!

What about her Anti Semitic attack’s? The attacks against the President?

OK then we agree that our small country is full.

“The memory of 9/11 is sacred ground & any discussion of it must be done with reverence” Pelosi said. “The President shouldn’t use the painful images of 9/11 for a political attack. It is wrong for the President, as Commander-in-Chief, to fan the flames to make anyone less safe.”

Just stop. This is ridiculous. She was held accountable for her words...as she should have been. If she needs to be immune from criticism based on identity politics, she doesn't belong in Congress. You all are making asses of yourselves with this after 2+ years of trashing Trump

Nonsense, Dem bigotry and weird slander has. Ask Steve Scalise

Why does this man has so much hate? Why is he so needy?

Democratic candidates? Are they the same candidates who went and spoke at Al Sharpton's rally? The Al Sharpton who is the well known racist, anti Semite, race hustler?

Nothing wrong with smaller. Easier to manage for sure.

Who cares? MAGA2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I believe that ALL lawmakers left or right should choose their words, present themselves with respect to their constituents and most importantly show respect to 🇺🇸 history. When any lawmaker sticks their own foot 🦶 in their mouth they should accept the wrong & apologize publicly

*∆*™..! I told you..$0 didn't I.....! I said quote un quote stop being a Dick it's BAD for business..!

We can't get much smaller.

😢

She wants provoke a 3th 9/11 because the second readying happens ⬇️

Trumps attack? All this foul vile mouth person has done is shoot her big mouth off about America and it's people. Time for you to zip it Omar. 9/11 is SCARED to us and you and your buddy SIX have done nothing but make a mockery out of it.

America became smaller the day he was inaugurated, and it has been downhill ever since. Going forward PLEASE portray him as he is and not as you hoped he would be.😡

Why are we letting these foreigners take control of this country?! When are people going to wake up? This is UTTER MADNESS and it is by design. Trump cares about this country, these people don't. That's why they won't let him do anything. They want CHAOS.

The only thing getting smaller is your viewership.

It was only “some people” that attacked her....

Omar is a disgrace to the title American. She is full of hatred and hopes to destroy America from within. It’s time the Democratic Leadership reign her in.

DanCrenshawTX

Trump Will Reap what he Sow!!

TRUMP JUST HATES MUSLIMS. OMAR COULD BE A REPUBLICAN AND HE WOULD STILL HATE MUSLIMS.

2020 can’t get here fast enough!!! Trump in a effiinngg landslide!!! Take back the house & send a lot of traitor dems to jail!

When Prez Trump is right they make issue? What do we expect from The Socialist Majority n Congress.

Of course the Washington rag backs this pathetic terrorist supporter, anything to be against President Trump. If he said the crap the enemy of the State has said they'd be leading a campaign against him, pathetically hypocritical.

Dumb Republicans.

Protect the radicals that will be blamed when Democrats take a huge loss in 2020.

Cause she's the enemy within!

Boy are you backyard reporting...

She needs to go, cant Minnesota do better than this

Stop acting so surprised people. American you are all to blame for this. You are either impotent or indifferent when dealing Trump. You have only yourselves to blame for this wave of ignorance and fear and hatred...

Tell her to leave USA and go back to where she came from...

What a stupid article.

Yeah let’s defend the terrorist.

Trump do not have respect for women and love to use them, except for his wife and daughter.

She should resign, she came here as a refugee, looks like we made a mistake letting her in

Not really, he reminded you to have some respect while talking about the tragic moments in our history. It would have been decent to apologize &move on. Doubling down on something so crude and disrespectful reflects more your character. America is just fine.

No he made America more aware of her true identity.

IStandWithIlhanOmar

Omar, AOC and Rashid need to go. Unamerican, clueless and totally off the rails ..all of them.

Shes a disgrace. And of course the sheep follow in line.

Omar is a 9-11 denier and the WaPo is clearly taking her side by helping her with propaganda.

Wouldn’t it be great to see our old friend Drumphy

Rep. Omar needs to be reprimanded, censured, or impeached for her antisemitism and Anti-American rhetoric. By virtue of the not condemning her, YOU SUPPORT HER VIEWPOINTS.

These Democrats are crazy. US is now being taken over by the foreigners who not only don’t believe US values and traditions, but want to destroy it. Yet, Democrats want to open the doors to welcome the destroyers and discredit the defenders? Out of your crazy mind!!!

Dem enabling of Ilhan will not help her with her assimilation issues in Congress and USA customs in general, nor with her issues for the respect and pride she feels for Al Qaeda and Hamas over US institutions, nor with her anti-Semitic beliefs. A strong rebuke by Dems is in order

Washington post is fake news

It was disgusting realDonaldTrump is disgusting

She must go!

No.

Today’s New Dems Support ISIS and hate Israel. Support MS13 and want to abolish ICE.

I hate HIM, but she said something stupid. Period.

IlhanMN can’t bitch about her country and half its citizens who gave her great opoortunities, and expect those insults not to be returned. If you dish it out you better be ready to take it, Ilhan!

This is just a liberal thing. The rest of this great country does not give a hoot

False... the President made America bigger. How dare OMAR trivialize an AMERICAN TRAGEDY PERPETRATED BY MUSLIM RADICAL EXTREMIST?

🎯 🎯 Omar makes herself a target 🎯 by her most inciteful rhetoric Omar dishes out her hateful rhetoric How quickly dems forget Omar’s anti-semitism! 🎯 🎯

Idiots would rather depend Omar who sympathizes with terrorist group and support CAIR

Actually he just enticed them into defending a very bigoted woman from Somalia. Getting the Dems to align with her is a poison pill the Dems will gladly take.

Except Trump didn't attack her. Liars, all.

Why is she always the victim? Has she acknowledged how callus her remarks were?

Small hands=small minds=small trumPenism.

No, no, trump doesn’t have anything that could make America smaller. He hates Muslims. Putin got him the job & he’s crucifying the poor Muslims. I like Germans, even thought I hate hitler. He did it like trump is obeying Putin is doing it.

Please explain how the president made America smaller? I’ll wait.

Nice try

NEVER FORGET

I am beginning to think Trump is afraid of strong women. He is a racist and shows no sign he has a molecule of true manhood. What a loser is our present president.

twisted.

Some people said something Hahaaaaa LMAO FU liberals

I don't get it. Made America smaller? I saw a video that had the Omar twit's words and then videos of what she belittled. All it did for me is solidify the point that she is an idiot, does not seem to have the US at heart. Not like she was investigated for Russian collusion.

Trump makes the US the laughingstock of the world with his stupidity, racism, hate and violence. America has lot the respect it had and it will only get worse as long as Trump is allowed to shit on the Constitution and just common decency

Every American should call out this BS!! Trump is anti-American

He’s been doing that for years now.

I am not a Republican, but she is still disgusting.

Trump is not attacking that woman, he is defending America against her

Oh please! She did this to herself. She wouldn't dare say that Islamic Terrorist committed a act of terrorism that hurt other Muslims because we didn't know who to trust. She played it down as nothing more than an event in history.

realDonaldTrump has himself proved so many times that he has a small mind with narrow feelings.

Trump has made the Presidency smaller.

Jeff Bezos is a fudge packer.

Nah.

Stop supporting this woman

Problem is they defend Omar when she does the same to jews and Israel, which is exactly what she did. the double standards are unbelievable!

What an ugly man

Bullshit ! Omar was wrong , America will never forget 9/11 !!!

Yea well to bad! He gtn ready to make it much bigger! Gt ready!!!

No he was being truthful . Cannot trust those people they have no business in North America

Rep. Omar is divisive, she disrespected our country when she was dismissive about the 9/11/01 terrorist attack in NYC by Al Qaida. Rep. Omar is antagonistic, evil and dangerous.

When are you going to respond to Omar's attacks on America? Funny, a woman takes the terrorists side on 9/11 and still you try to twist this into a negative about Trump.

Not at all, your opinion

Why doesn’t she pack her bags and go back to where she came from!!!!!!

He does that on a daily basis

If you’re defending Ilhan Omar’s comments on 9/11, you’re un-American.

Good! It will bring people closer!

realDonaldTrump

So, are you saying 'someone said something'?

Dream on WaPo!

He's the only person in America who can be both anti-Semitic and anti Black at the same time.

I find it odd that liberal media nor democratic leaders will speak out against Omar’s 9/11 comments.

Rep OMAR started it by not respecting the memories of 9 11. PRESIDENT represents our anger over this NASTY MESSAGE rep Omar told constituents/civilians. REP OMAR MUST 'APOLOGIZE'

It was NOT an attack against Omar! Omar however must learn to respect The United States of America!

This was just the latest easy talking point for the GND swallowing pinheads, except you mayor pete, posing as presidential candidates

Lololol these losers have been bad mouthing our President for over two years. We don’t care what they think, the diversion doesn’t work anymore.

Those Dems that don't defend Omar or use the conj...'but' should step aside & become independents or Repubs. If they R more concerned about Israel over America than they R in the wrong country. It is time 4 Americans to make the EASY choice...enuff.

I think he did that on Inauguration Day 😡

WaPo makes USA less safe tolerating Islamists...

Somebody tweet something

The president made America smaller —- again. This should be pretty much the daily headline over the past two years.

Wapo- The Muslim defender publication

Video of 'Never Forget' goes further than Rep. Omar. We as a nation 'will never forget' damage inflicted on Americans by Donald Trump.

President is just telling the truth.

More like “the democrats couldn’t defend her so they created a bullshit narrative equating criticism to violence”.

They’re both garbage ... him and her she and Trump are what is wrong both she is just as bad as him

He stood up for America and the garbage that was spewed out of the mouth of this Congresswoman. Way to go Mr. President!

Nonsense nonsense! Ilhan Omar is the most dangerous Jew hater we’ve ever seen in this country. She’s more dangerous than David Duke and Louis Farrakhan combined, because she sits where she sits, and no one is stopping her, and she keeps on assaulting Jews.

I think she’s confusing our president with her countrymen

KamalaHarris “For two years, this President has used the most powerful platform in the world to sow hate & division. He's done it again. Putting the safety of a sitting member of Congress IlhanMN at risk & vilifying a whole religion is beyond the pale.”

“The Democrats today made America smaller by defending an anti-Semite.” FIFY

How asinine can they get. Total. BS.

I realize that the WP is a liberal rag, but it is outrageous that a US congresswoman would marginalize 9/11. It was entirely fair of Trump to send that tweet & call her out. You love to advertise your 'tolerance' but you'd feel different if the WP HQ was in the WTC on 9/11.

The end of white conservative male minority rule is coming quick. So they are lashing out.

Keep up the good work Mr President you have all your toys spinning like tops.

IStandwithIlhan muteTrump

He defended the Title of Liberty. He lives and loves America like We The People do and not we the communists socialist POS’s. As much as it pains you, the Founding Fathers were right and inspired by God.

Attack? No an attack is what the radical Islamic terrorists did on 9/11 and what she marginalized!

Really She can make light of 911. But when she's called out about it people go crazy. Talk about a double standard for Democrats. They get away with murder

Yeah never forget that trump lied that he watched thousands cheering, when he didn't

No omar has made america smaller, on the edge of non existance any more, omar wants to destroy America

Attack?

Omar is a racist and Antisemite...

I’d like to make it about 11-22 million illegals smaller! Also throw in some Hollywood whackos, every person who demeans people solely based on race (black, white or other), every sanctuary city politician, and millions from each coast. Wow, how much Better America would be!!!

The Marxists are just fine with “some people did something”

He does that every day.

Blame trump for having to remind this jerk of what happened. Pretty dumb

Let’s get something straight, it was 19 Muslims terrorists who attacked the USA killing almost 3,000 people using American airline. It wasn’t someone did something

He is trolling us all, individual 1 thinks he is so so smart, he and his devil worshipper staff must pray at The infamous 666 building.

No WP, it wasn’t from today. It was 2017, how he handled Charlottesville.

SATAN IS UPON US WE ARE THE HANDS NOW OF THE EVIL ONES EyesWideOpen

Let me guess their making her a Victim!

Attack did he strike her go after her no he Express his opinion as she expresses her s it's not an attack Washington Post needs to get their crap together this is one reason we have so much trouble with racism because of the words the news media uses

No, he continued to make it great! Deport that Arab !!!

She is a joke and had no place in this country supporting terrorists

Rubbish

IStandWithIlhanOmar

NEVERFORGET

You defend Al Qaeda.

ilhanomar has endured worse and she definitely such things will be waiting for her am thankfull she is standing strong and wish she gets through all this hatred and animosity....

Representative Omar has now forced the Democrats to openly support Anti Semitism and minimize Islamic terrorist attacks. The future of our country is bleak

Everything realDonaldTrump says and does is just a smoke screen to hide his own incompetence, and lack of humanity.

And intellectual and moral midget cannot make America smaller. That would require the assent of a public he does not command.

As long as they dish it out Trump's going to come back on them.

Whatever you do, play the victim.

Democrats and liberals all suffer from TDS and they whine a lot!

Real Americans dont want IlhanMN in office...She hates America and needs to go...

Her mentor Pelosi should be working and coaching her to improve her hateful tweets. What is she 4 months elected and her big concerns are NOT for Americans, but for organizations that operate in this country. And then hurling nasty posts at others. She creates her own hatred.

No, your words made a serious incident seem minor. FY

More Trump darkness it never seems to stop .

IlhanMN is a very real threat to the US. She is obviously a supporter of Islamic terrorism.

Dear God, please keep Ilhan and her use of the first amendment safe....and whilst you're at it - please invoke the 25th amendment against the home grown terrorist that is called Donald Trump!

Why 'America' ?

American Citizenship is Null Please FBIWFO TheJusticeDept Opens investigation now Thanks American Fight.

A U.S. President incites hate crimes and terrorism against a U.S. Citizen ! WTFaaaaaarK!!

At this rate America will soon for into Trump’s tiny hands.

Caucasian Trump supporters bitching about anti-semitism is a laugh to begin with. Just get out the Carmex and kiss the conman’s ass some more.. he’s always got more snake oil to sell you

We Will Never Forget. Till there are no more like You .We will Always Remember.

How did he make it smaller by repeating exactly what she said? America knows you full of it all you papers are making 2016 all over again this time Trump wins with the popular vote.

'The president today made America smaller' “Of course, just two weeks ago, it was the Democratic leadership that did so, also by pandering, Islamophobic attacks on Ilhan Omar. But we’ll skip the self-criticism part bc that’s how we roll.”

She referred to the tragedy of 9/11 in a derogatory and minimizing way. President Donald Trump acted correctly by not overlooking the despicable attitude of Ilham Omar, who has also previously manifested himself as anti-Semitic, Now it's also anti-American

So criticism of a politician is an attack so WAPO has been attacking the President daily for 3 years?

Trump is not a president; he's a MADMAN!!!

Democrats defending anti-American, anti-Semitic Rep. Omar. Omar is an elected Representative, she is NOT above criticism.

WaPo, again, demonstrates that it just doesn’t get it. Journalism dies at WaPo.

Defending an open anti semite. A defender of terrorist organisations and someone who downgraded the worst terrorist attack on American soil to ' something '? The Democrats are a joke. How long before the democrats are chanting death to America just like the Iranians?

LauraJa04236997 Her own words 😂

She deserves all of it, and it's not an attack if it's true.

He’s made it smaller so Democrat pea brains can understand it

Yeah. I heard she was getting death threats or to put it words she can understand, some people are saying some things. She needs to be checked and challenged every time she says dumb stuff. And these liberal clowns need to stop defending her. She is a terrorists sympathizer to me

No. “Made America smaller” doesn’t begin to cover it. He is trying to endanger the life of a member of Congress by misquoting her and sending out this inflammatory video. He should be impeached. If anything at all happens to her, he should go to jail.

I was not an attack. The left propaganda media is creating the attack. Americans are not stupid. The left media is increasingly becoming irrelevent.

Amazing to see how Dems hate Trump so much they’ll support any bigotry and illegality just to oppose him. It’s called TDS.

Oh please. Some guy did something and the Dems are upset? GetOverIt

But hurt crybaby Democrats. You’re as bad as she is. It doesn’t matter that Saudi’s flew the air craft. It’s more important that you can recognize and say Radical Islamic Terrorist. Nothing racist about it. It’s a fact they are the enemy.

And more dangerous for Muslims, poc, and this Congress member specifically.

You finally got it! America smaller = is the portion of people that lives in America, make a good living, and still have the COJONES to complain day after day, asking for open borders, dislike our Judeo-Christian values, disregard our 🇺🇸, our Military, our law & order

The Trump regime is moving toward dictatorship! This will be the end of America!

Much like BarackObama , IlhanMN has a purpose unbeknownst to them: what not to do ever again! NoHateJustTruth

She thinks her origin country or other country in the world is better ? Why she's in USA to mess up America which has been just fine for more than 200 years without her ? 🤣

She deserved it and more!Neefs to be taken down

Just which president?

Anyone who 'gets' Rep. Omar's back is an anti-Semite. truth

Huh?

A hellscape of lies and distorted reality awaits journalists covering President Trump 'We can expect President Trump to lie to the media, manipulate reality and go after those who upset the notion that adulation is his birthright,' Sulliview 15-Jan-2017.

MAGA2020

Or something

Just like his hands & his penis.His EGO gets in the way every time. The only thing he wants bigger is his pockets & his base so they can chant & repeat all the ridiculous things he says.. little does he know there’s others against him who will agree he’s a BIG DICK! ego stroked!

People must really hate Trump if they're not willing to hold Ms. Omar accountable. She's downplayed 9/11, represented CAIR multiple times, and is a known anti-semite that's made zero effort in hiding it. Let's get her back though 👌🏻

We should never forget who attacked us and set the world ablaze. Idiots elected one to congress !

Only thing made smaller by statements of 45 is DonaldTrump.America is not smaller.DJT continues to exhibit lifelong bigotry.Its who he’s always been from role in his Dad’s illegal housing discrimination,to Central Park 5,to getting away with using Jewish stereotypes RJC events

Oh shutup, it was her own words. Quit distracting from what she has said. If this is inciting violence against her, what the hell was insisting the president was a foreign agent for 2yrs supposed to do? What members of congress have actually been shot and shot at..Steve Scalise

9-11 did happen and Omar did flippantly say “some people did something”. What’s offensive?

On the contrary. It is in trouble when enemies like you are elected to office.

I hear nothing from her denouncing the daily slaughter of Christians in Muslim countries. I do hear her antisemitic comments and her comments downplayed the horrible tragedy on 9/11 while promoting the false narrative that Muslims lost their civil liberties.

Because the dum bitc said '...some people did something...' about the 9/11 events The left is already working on minimising what happened on this day and giving us half truths about it. Disgusting.

IStandWithIlhanOmar

When u make a comment abt something so profound, does everyone understand what u are getting at ? She was just saying that the whole Muslim community was blamed for what the 19 hi-hackers did . FYI ; 15 were from Saudi Arabia by the way.🤓

Actually, standing up to her makes America look great!

Trump's MAGA has changed to make America smaller.

This is insane. She dismissed 9/11 (!!) and Trump's the jerk? You people are out of your mind and this brazen anti-Semite is going to take all down with her. She says something crazy every week. I'll honestly be surprised if she completes her term.

Democrats can say anything and not diminish America one iota. Yet a Republican defends one group of people from attack by a radical like Omar, and America is somehow smaller. What hypocrisy. What fallacy. This is why Trump will be re-elected. The MSM sucks.

WaPa, nice job alienating a whole lot of Americans who aren’t buying your rehabilitation attempts of that vile woman

Right. I mean, having an anti-Semitic piece of garbage serving in the House is totally cool. But having a president that calls out that POS is a bridge too far. 🙄

How many funerals did she go to? How about a little respect for the dead? Sorry. Your narrative SUCKS.

Thank you president Trump she is unAmerican

Look it up in The Washington Post

You know, headlines like that help to divide the country. I've talked with republicans with the same reaction. So, BetterHeadline that is still truthful: 'The president today made America smaller': Citizens react to Trump’s attack on Rep. Omar

hey, WaPo, don't defend this racist, Omar.. be better than her..

My favorite part was when Omar accused a US Marine who lost an eye in the battlefields, than he did nothing for 9/11. Got to 'love' those traitorous Democrats.

IlhanMNisaracist

Why this woman is just talking and doesn't go back to Africa to stop refugee outflows?

And what about you dems constantly calling him racist? Since he won you all have been attacking him.

....which is the only thing the pumpkinhead-in-chief has been working hard at since his installation in 2016... reducing a once promising nation to the lowest common denominator...

I’m sure every Democrat, candidates for president or not, will grow tired of defending that vile woman and her fellow freshmen congressladies

Its just some people saying something .......

So we have a clear anti semitic that now degrades the deaths of over 3000 people that died by her religion and msm is talking about Trump defending the 3000 that died? And this is why msm is falling so quickly.

Somebody Did Something?This is who.. 19 Muslim Terriost .Is the right Answer!!

Yes never forget that it was SAUDI's Bin Laden's tribe of followers who flew planes in the Twin Towers. SAUDI's Trump's business partners.

No, he did not. Omar knows exactly what she said. She's an anti-American anti-Semite

No, it is Omar who is trying to tear down our country. But why? I would like to know the truth. Why dont you investigate and report?

There must have been some initial provocation for Trump to react?

More stupidity from the left wing propaganda apparatus that is the washington post. When will you stop? When you have no more viewers/readers? Move on.

She is in the wrong class of people...

“Made” no kidding... has done so for quiet a while... didn’t you notice?

His Presidency has done immeasurable damage to the image of the US worldwide.

Don’t worry he didn’t have much left to become smaller from

Another feature from democras , they believe they represent the entire feelings of a nation, they spoke just for themselves ok not from the entire country

President quoted her EXACT words and the Dems and lefty media is panicking ! TDS in overdrive for these trump haters !! MAGA NeverForget

What attack? He’s just a guy doin a thing 🤷🏻‍♂️
