Ilhan Omar defends her 9/11 comment with outrageous comparison to George Bush, then gets absolutely torched on Twitter!

by The Right Scoop

This morning Ilhan Omar defended her “Some people who did something” by comparing herself to George W. Bush.

The comparison was to Bush’s comments just days after 9/11 as he stood atop a pile of rubble and declared “I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”

She doesn’t even include the full context of his comments, as I showed above. She just chopped up his sentence to suggest she was doing the same thing that Bush did just days after 9/11. And then asks what if Bush were a Muslim who said that?

How dishonest!

This was only days after 9/11 when the country was still trying to wrap their minds around what happened. We were still trying to figure out who’d perpetrated this horrific act on American soil. And Bush was in the midsts of these courageous first responders who were still digging through rubble looking for people that survived, trying to comfort and encourage them as well as the nation as a whole.

Omar made her offensive comments at CAIR while extolling the virtues of a group who’s been found by a court to have supported the terrorist group Hamas in the past.

It’s not even close to the same thing. Not even in the same universe.

Let me just say that her tweet above did not go over well on Twitter as many were outraged.

Here’s a few responses:
