House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scolded Trump for using the 'painful images of 9/11 for a political attack.'
President Trump weighed in on a controversy involving Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., retweeting a video edited to suggest that the Minnesota congresswoman was dismissive of the significance of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The video Trump retweeted Friday pulls a snippet of Omar's recent speech to the Council on American-Islamic Relations in which she described the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center as"some people did something," and includes news footage of the hijacked planes hitting the Twin Towers. Trump also tweeted,"WE WILL NEVER FORGET!"
CAIR was founded in 1994, according to its website, but its membership skyrocketed after the attacks. "Here's your something," the New York Post blared on its cover beneath a photograph of the flaming towers. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar noted that a New York man was recently charged with threatening Omar's life.
