During a speech to the Council on American Islamic Relations in March, Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar refused to describe the 9/11 hijackers as terrorists and instead called them "some people who did something."
Ilhan Omar mentions 9/11 and does not consider it a terrorist attack on the USA by terrorists, instead she refers to it as “Some people did something”, then she goes on to justify the establishment of a terrorist organization (CAIR) on US soil. pic.twitter.com/ixP3BJfqxS

Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw, a Navy SEAL who served multiple tours overseas after 9/11, has responded to Omar's remarks.
First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as “some people who did something”.

Unbelievable. https://t.co/IKtoZWWmIT
As a reminder, CAIR is a front group for Islamic terrorist organization Hamas and was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation scandal.
One of the most significant terrorism prosecutions brought by the government since 9/11 commenced trial last month in federal district court in Dallas. The government’s 42-count indictment charges seven individuals and the Holy Land Foundation — the biggest Islamic charity in the United States — with offenses including conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, namely, Hamas. Two of the seven individual defendants have not been arrested and are fugitives.
Hamas actively works everyday to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth and celebrated the 9/11 attacks on America.
CAIR is also working to bring ISIS bride Hoda Muthana to America. Muthana called for the murder of innocent Americans and for Muslims to carry out jihad through terrorist attacks.
"Americans wake up! Men and women altogether. You have much to do while you live under our greatest enemy, enough of your sleeping! Go on drive-bys and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriot, Memorial etc Day parades..go on drive by’s + spill all of their blood or rent a big truck n drive all over them. Kill them," Muthana tweeted in 2015.
Meanwhile, TIME Magazine just put Omar on their cover as someone changing the conversation on race and foreign policy.
