Hitler didn't really want to genocide the Jewish People, but Representative Ilhan Omar talked him into it.

Even though all these theories are jokes, I wouldn't doubt that the GOP will go on and make crazy theories about Omar.

Well yeah. She's a Muslim. And a Woman. And the upper echelons of the GOP don't like it when either of those groups has power, it seems.

Sounds like the GOP is against having women and minorties didn't know they were anti-Civil Rights.

Or to put things another way:

Ilhan Omar never downplayed the events of 9/11. She is a cosponsor of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell tried to defund the medical assistance for 9/11 first responders.

Where's the outrage?

Defunding 9/11 victims and responders to Own the Libs.

On 9/11, then real estate mogul Donald Trump commented that with the Twin Towers gone he currently owned the tallest building in Manhattan. But I guess that was just locker room talk, live on television.

[Aeritai]

Honestly I feel bad for the good members of the GOP who didn't blacklash against Omar. Trump and his media supporters are painting a real bad name on the good Republicans.

The Republican Party is the Cult of Trump since 2016.

In true Republican fashion, they've manufactured this entire racist hysteria around taking her words out of context.

Pretty much yes.

If a Redcap maims or kills her they'll denounce the attack while not so subtly implying that she had it coming.

[Communal concils]

Omar did nothing wrong, she is innocent. Support her and her Anti-Zionist message, I sure do.

[Chan Island]

Didn't she also .. marry … her …. brother?????????????

Luckily those rumors aren't true.

Yes. More specifically, Republicans are engaging in stochastic terrorism, knowing full well that Omar has been receiving death threats.

[Zapato]

Republican blacklash? Not to worry, there's few black people among republicans, so it can't be too bad.

I did not know Ben Franklin was a Jew.

Trump criticized for calling Netanyahu 'your prime minister' at Jewish Republican event

[Aclion]

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., finds herself embroiled in another controversy after a comment she made about the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and Muslim civil rights.

Speaking last month at an event hosted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations' Los Angeles chapter, Omar mistakenly said the organization was founded in response to the terrorist attacks, adding "because they recognized that some people did something" — a phrasing that some in conservative media have interpreted as a too-flippant reference to the attack.

"CAIR was founded after 9/11, because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties," Omar said.

While taking things out of context always happens in politics I do think the Republicans and media are overrecting and taking things out of context. Do note I am not defending Omar mostly because I found it strange that she put 9/11 into her speech and the way she said it. So I'm neutral on this until I know who's more guilty.

The Republicans and its media need to look into the context of words Omar said. On the other hand Omar should've chosen her words carefully went it came to talking about 9/11.

So NSG what are your thoughts? Is it just a simple misunderstanding from the Republicans or is Omar in the wrong here?

The context is Ilhan Omar is the Representative of a district with a large Muslim demographic, and has often engaged in dog-whistling by saying antisemitic things and making light of terrorist attacks in such a way as to make it just ambiguous enough for people who agree with it to defend her, while associating with overtly antisemitic people and groups that have committed terrorist attacks; and then shouting about Islamophobia and sexism when she gets called out for her bullshit.

But you see, those funds are laced with asbestos! It's all part of her nefarious plan!
