AOC might not be the most dishonest and undereducated member of Congress, but she is definitely in the top two. Her latest rant is a real doozy. She claims that Omar has done more for 9/11 victims than Dan Crenshaw has. Oh, really?
What has Omar done for the victims Raising money for terrorism doesn’t count. Dan Crenshaw, on the other hand, fought terrorists in Afghanistan and he lost an eye in the process. Omar raised money for CAIR and CAIR, Hamas and Al Qaeda have something in common. All were the brainchildren of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended fellow freshman Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Thursday, saying that Omar had done more for 9/11 victims than the GOP. Ocasio-Cortez then turned the attack on one of Omar’s critics specifically: Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw.
Omar drew the ire of many Americans when she referenced the 9/11 terror attacks by saying, “Some people did something” while claiming that the attacks had been used to justify the mistreatment of Muslims.

I’m not going to quote the NY Post’s horrifying, hateful cover.
Here’s 1 fact: @IlhanMN is a cosponsor of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. She‘s done more for 9/11 families than the GOP who won’t even support healthcare for 1st responders- yet are happy to weaponize her faith.

You refuse to cosponsor the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan w/completely out-of-context quotes.
In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don’t you go do something about that? https://t.co/rkb92IxkKX

Are you aware that you’re speaking to a veteran who lost his eye in combat?

“Why don’t you go do something about terrorism?” AOC asked Dan Crenshaw. https://t.co/VBG2kAjB8n

AOC is attacking Dan Crenshaw for not fighting for 9/11 victims
Crenshaw is a decorated war hero, who, as a Navy SEAL, lost his eye fighting terrorists in Afghanistan and earned 2 Bronze Stars (one with Valor), the Purple Heart, and the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor pic.twitter.com/HHa7Ay4WDj
