'Some People Did Something': It Was Nice To See Ilhan Omar Remember That 9/11 Was A Terrorist Attack

Yesterday was the 18th anniversary of the heinous 9/11 terrorist attacks. Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked four planes to execute this attack. The Pentagon and the World Trade Center were struck. The loss of life was severe. Almost 3,000 Americans died that day. Families were shattered. The nation was shocked. And so began our war on terrorism, specifically those who are followers of radical Islam. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) actually had a nice tweet to commemorate this day, saying “We will never forget the thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the largest terror attack on U.S. soil. I will continue to fight to make sure we care for the first responders and families who lost loved ones.”

You see, that wasn’t hard. And that goes for all left-wingers who hate America. For one day, you don’t have to be insufferable cretins and bash the country. Then again, Omar did describe the 9/11 attacks as an event where, “some people did something,” at a CAIR fundraiser this year. The New York Post torched her for that nonsense, as did some of the victims of that horrible attack. That “something” was radical Islam, it was al-Qaeda, and the inability of the Left to recognize that radical Islamic terrorism is a problem continues to be an annoying aspect of their political correctness agenda. You saw that on full display today with The New York Times, who said that planes, on their own, crashed into the towers. Leah wrote about it. 

“Some planes did something” was the new line until the publication changed it for being rightfully trashed for the PC headline.
