Ilhan Omar recounts ‘complete horror’ of 9/11 attacks in somber video
2019-09-12
[NYPOST] Lightning-rod Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
 ‐ who previously sparked outrage with a comment minimizing the 9/11 terror attacks ‐ posted a somber video on Twitter on Wednesday commemorating the anniversary and recounting the "complete horror" she and her family felt following the terror attacks.

"On September 11th we experienced one of the most horrific terrorist attacks that we have ever lived through as a nation. Today, we remember the victims, the first responders and their loved ones. #Neverforget," the Minnesota Democrat wrote on the post, which included the nearly minute-long video.

"I was 18 years old when that happened. I was in a classroom in college and I remember rushing home after being dismissed and getting home and seeing my father in complete horror as he sat in front of that TV. And I remember just feeling, like the world was ending," said Omar, who, along with Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, are the only two Moslem women in Congress.

"The events of 9/11 were life-changing, life-altering for all of us," she said. "My feeling around it is one of complete horror. None of us are ever going to forget that day and the trauma that we will always have to live with."

#12  Skidmark?

The last time a moderator got spam copped, it was Frank G. He did it to himself a few weeks ago because he decided what he’d posted was inappropriate. Some years ago I did the same thing, and felt very loved because y’all were were so indignant at the thought that I was being mistreated. The memory still warms my heart.

#10  Kinda like life.
Two rules I have learned:
1. Don't threaten to make domestic martyrs.
2. Mods care that you're here. They won't allow anything stupid to stand that will mess you up later.
2a. Corollary: when everything you say is stupid, with attitude...you won't get much airtime.

#9  The moderators here delete things that make them feel funny. It's the only explanation I can find for their random deletions that violate no rule.

#4  She lies, she danced in the streets with the rest. I don't care what she says, she can never be trusted.

#3  Of course they were in complete horror. Little did they know, there was nothing to fear. She was kissing her future in the country goodbye. Every sasquatch was. And then their neighborhood mullahs told them to be of good cheer. And carry posters and hug passersby and make a shew of praying for victims.

You may read the articles now of indignant reminiscence of 'the terrible times faced by American muslims after 9/11', when they had to act against instinct to show false loyalty for months. Until a compromised media and the deepState conveniently steered conversation and attention to other matters.
