Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have decided to hell with the victims of 9/11 and they have taken sides with Ilhan Omar, who raises money for terrorists. Maybe they should run for president of the Muslim Brotherhood instead.
Both have already proven that they do not care how many terrorists cross our southern border and now have taken a position against both Israel and the United States. Let’s hope the voters on the other side wake up and see them for what they are. We need to stick with President Trump. He loves America and wants to keep us safe.
No Democrat shares that vision.
Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont defended Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Friday night after she faced intense backlash for her 9/11 comments.
Omar ruffled feathers when she said “some people did something” in reference to 9/11 during a speech last month. Many considered the comments, which only resurfaced this week, as inappropriately flippant about a terrorist attack that killed thousands.
“Ilhan Omar is a leader with strength and courage. She won’t back down to Trump’s racism and hate, and neither will we,” Sanders tweeted. “The disgusting and dangerous attacks against her must end.”
Omar doubled down Friday on her remarks on social media, wondering aloud if former President George W. Bush was trivializing 9/11 with his famous speech atop the World Trade Center wreckage, when he said, “The people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”
Following the president’s tweet, progressives like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan also came out and defended their colleague.
Sanders also defended Omar when she faced backlash for accusing the pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of buying pro-Israel support from American politicians.
