I don’t think she trivialized 9/11 in this speech, per se. She very obviously wanted to disassociate those terrorists from those terrorists being Muslim she attempted to put the terrorists in a separate, bland group by themselves because she was talking about the civil liberties she claims “all Muslims” lost as a result of 9/11.
The effect of her word game is, that event (which she also does not name) was indeed trivialized but the more full context of her speech, self-serving and condescending though it was, shows her priority was to claim what a victim she is.

Playing the victim at every turn is a tactic of the left I'm well aware of. I don't like this gal or anything she stands for. But I'm not going to assume she intended to trivialize the loss of 3,000 american lives because of it, anymore than I'll sign off on the idea Trump was OK with Nazi's showing up at Charlotsville.

... But I'm not going to assume she intended to trivialize the loss of 3,000 american lives because of it... Notice her lack of apology or clarification on her comments. Her response instead was an attempted analogy to when President Bush said "The people who brought down these buildings", which was not only doubling down on her statement but also a horrible analogy. She is an anti-Semite, clear as day, based on the words she uses time after time. She has no respect for this nation, for its citizens or its culture. Her entire worldview revolves around being born in Somalia, being Muslim and attacking anyone who isn't. It is an insult to crap to call her a piece of crap. |

All of which begs the question, how in the world did this woman with these abhorrent views get elected?

The precinct from which she was elected is an area up near Minneapolis where Obama resettled a lot of Somali “refugees.” My step daughter lives up there and used to complain about her Somali neighbors all the time. |

Maybe this disgusting omar creatures time is up ? We can hope. We can hope Americans learned something too ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FBI probing Ilhan Omar's marriage to her own 'brother'Somalia-born Congress member suspected of immigration fraud The FBI is reviewing evidence that U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D- Minn., married her own brother in an immigration-fraud scheme.
The New York Post reported two FBI agents met in mid-October in Minnesota with a concerned party who handed over documents regarding Omar's 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, according to a source with knowledge of the meeting.
Investigative reporter David Steinberg, who has reported over the last two years compelling evidence that Omar married her brother, reported Jan. 16 that the FBI is among three agencies reviewing the case.
The others are the Department of Education Office of Inspector General and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Steinberg wrote that Minnesota state Rep. Steve Drazkowski, a Republican, filed a complaint on the matter with the Minnesota District of the Department of Justice. The DOJ office, led by a Trump appointee, U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald, directed the FBI to review the complaint. An FBI special agent met with Drazkowski and others in mid-October, Steinberg said, to receive a prepared file of evidence and related information. The FBI has taken additional steps since the October meeting, wrote Steinberg.
He said the FBI then shared the information with other agencies.
The Post reported the discussion in the October meeting included concerns that Omar, who immigrated from Somalia, married Elmi, a British citizen rumored to be her brother, so he could obtain a green card and study in the United States.
The Post pointed out that if Omar did marry her brother, she could be found guilty of committing marriage fraud, a felony punishable with a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000.
She has repeatedly called the allegations "disgusting lies."
In October, she filed for divorce from husband Ahmed Hirsi after the Post reported she was accused of having an affair with a consultant her campaign hired, Tim Mynett. Mynett's wife, Beth, made the accusation in a divorce complaint.
Hirsi, the father of Omar's three children, remarried just 37 days after their divorce was finalized in November.
Records show Omar and Hirsi were engaged in 2002 and united in a Muslim ceremony but never were legally married. They had two children then "split" in 2008. The next year, Omar married Elmi.
Allegations that Elmi is Omar's brother emerged in 2016 in a since-deleted post to the Somali Spot message board by a user named AbdiJohnson. Power Line blogger Scott Johnson reported the claim, which later was repeated by President Trump, the Post said.
Omar and Elmi split in 2011, and Omar returned to Hirsi, and their third child was born in 2012.
However, Omar divorce Elmi until 2017.
DailyMail.com reported the findings from the FBI will be shared with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Department of Education."
DailyMail.com reported key dates: Omar married Hirsi in 2002 in a religious ceremony. They separated in 2008 but there was no legal divorce. She married Elmi in 2009. They all lived together while Elmi enrolled at North Dakota State.
Then in 2011, Omar says she and Elmi split up and he went back to the U.K. She returned to Hirsi, and a third child was born.
In 2013, Elmi started working in London and Omar divorced him in 2017, then married Hirsi. In 2019, they separated and there were reports of her relationship with married aide Tim Mynett.
Then Mynett's wife divorced him, citing his relationship with Omar.
Steinberg, Power Line's Johnson and investigative reporter Preya Samsundar have published over the past three years substantial evidence that Omar married her brother to defraud U.S. immigration and perjured herself eight times in her divorce statement.
A Minnesota state agency has fined her for filing joint tax returns with Hirsi while she was legally married to Elmi.
In July, WND reported the watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a House Ethics complaint against Omar calling for a congressional investigation of allegations of perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud and federal student loan fraud.
"The evidence is overwhelming Rep. Omar may have violated the law and House rules," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in July. "The House of Representatives must urgently investigate and resolve the serious allegations of wrongdoing by Rep. Omar."
The findings of Steinberg, Samsundar and Johnson, Judicial Watch said, are "supported by information gathered from public records, social media postings, genealogy databases, computer forensic analysis, unaltered digital photographs, discussions between the investigative reporters and the subjects of the investigation themselves, and information supplied by confidential sources within the Somali-American community."
In her application for divorce in 2017, she swore under penalty of perjury, among that, other things, she had had no contact with Elmi after June 2011 and didn't know where to find him.
However, evidence, including now deleted social media posts, compiled by Steinberg and others indicates she not only had contact with Elmi but also met with him.
The apparent immigration fraud scheme, Judicial Watch said, also may have helped Elmi obtain federally backed student loans for his attendance at North Dakota State University.
State of Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board already has determined that Omar violated state campaign finance laws for improper use of campaign funds. She was forced to reimburse her campaign thousands of dollars.
More significantly, Judicial Watch said, the board discovered she filed joint tax returns with Hirsi in 2014 and 2015 while she was legally married to Ahmed Elmi.
In court filings, Mynett's now ex-wife said he had told her that he was in love with the Minnesota congresswoman. She said the marriage collapsed when he announced he was "romantically involved with and in love with another woman, Ilhan Omar."www.wnd.com/2020/01/fbi-probing-ilhan-omars-marriage-brother/ |

it just baffles me..... that a place like Minny could have support for such person. @ctrips... I never mind your opines and usually agree.., but a few paragraphs copied from an article will suffice and support your personal take, copy/paste an entire article or journal takes up my entire screen as well as adds many a page to each thread.... may I suggest a paragraph or two, a quote and a LINK! |

It's a habit I learned from places where if you didn't put up all of the text, pointless arguments & discussions went on endlessly because no one would actually visit the provided link and read what was there. I will try harder to only enter the most relevant text. Remind me if necessary, LOL |

As we mentioned earlier in this thread, Obama resettled thousands of Somali refugees right there and they have no interest in assimilating into American culture. They subscribe to several Somali organizations in that area which also instruct them how to vote. my daughter had several Somali families living in the same building with her and she was always complaining to the building management about their trash being thrown into the hallways, her car being broken into (and eventually stolen), her assigned parking stall taken and the car never moved... frankly, I have very little hope Ohmar will be defeated by anyone who is not a Somali... but there are several trying so I do have a LITTLE hope. |

I agree. One paragraph or two should be enough to supports one's position. I'd also politely add that consistently quoting articles from far-right conspiracy sites like Breitbart and WND is not much more believable than quoting Looney Tunes. |
