In case it wasn’t clear from any of the times she’s said heinous things, Ilhan Omar is an awful person. And trust us: We’re being generous when we call her a person, because we’re struggling to find any evidence whatsoever that Omar is anything but a monster.
In the wake of the uproar over her despicable remarks about the 9/11 terrorists, Omar is still pushing the B.S. narrative that she’s a victim because she’s a black Muslim woman. She retweeted this ridiculous attempt by Democracy Now! to white-knight for her:
And then, just to turn things up to eleven, she pushed this out:
After the 9/11 attack, George W. Bush called the attackers "those folks who committed this act." That's very close to phrasing Rep. Ilhan Omar used, says author @BayoumiMoustafa, adding her language was "completely within the boundaries of what is normal political discourse." pic.twitter.com/W9plX5M0WU

Doubling down on the comparison between Omar’s remarks and George W. Bush’s. Absolutely, infuriatingly shameless.
Ilhan Omar is not sorry. Ilhan Omar is not honest. The only thing she is is a morally bankrupt maggot with a persecution complex.
This is appalling! This tweet was just RT'd by @IlhanMN. This is 100% confirmation that she is indeed downplaying 9/11. Bush spoke these words on 9/11 at 9:30 AM. He began: "Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country." https://t.co/Y3Fa2NJMfc

THE TOWERS HAD BEEN BURNING LESS THAN AN HOUR AND WERE STILL STANDING when Bush spoke these words. This is a travesty to compare Bush's words at the MOMENT of 9/11 with @IlhanMN's offhand mention almost 20 years later.

The other 2 planes were still in the air. Bush was speaking with very little knowledge of what was happening. @IlhanMN had NINETEEN YEARS to come up with "something that some people did."

This continued attempt by @IlhanMN to justify her words is revolting. She should be ashamed of herself for tweeting this. pic.twitter.com/zQW0z0MDVj

Honestly this makes me so angry I am still shaking. What kind of gall does it take to try to justify oneself like this? https://t.co/riFUvRZtpa

This is who she is. That's what makes the attempts to cover for her even more infuriating.

If she had just said she misspoke at the beginning… We could've avoided all this.

She’s lied about so many things, but her remarks about the 9/11 terrorists represented how she really feels.
i gave the benefit of the doubt. that's gone.
