" please report the President of the United States who has just tweeted out this incendiary video."

I am speechless . --as yes, I reported the trump video.



Pelosi: “The memory of 9/11 is sacred ground, and any discussion of it must be done with reverence. The President shouldn’t use the painful images of 9/11 for a political attack.”









I can't believe I'm saying this but please report the President of the United States who has just tweeted out this incendiary video. It's another dog whistle for some unhinged person to hurt her, just like the bombs to the media and the shooter at the synagogue. DESPICABLE.

Replying to @realDonaldTrump

This is egregious. What is wrong with you? You are putting a target on @Ilhan. She's saying not all #Muslims are terrorists and you are associating her with terrorism when she is a sitting member of Congress. One more attack in your long retinue of attacks on women of color.

and Trump is of course proving her point by associating her with the painful images of an attack that she had nothing to do with.

Some people did something so completely different people had to lose their rights.

Some white guys shot and killed a lot of Americans so other white guys should lose their assault rifles, how about that?

I'm surprised Twitter has allowed him to keep his account open for this long with nobody at the company questioning this action.

It's a private space, not a Public Forum. Shut him the fuck down, and when he tries to sue, shove the EULA down his worthless throat till he dies choking on it.

44. Well, it undermines the severity and horrific nature of what was done.
Sat Apr 13, 2019, 09:45 PM
Apr 2019

The intentional murder of thousands of innocent people, and taking down the main finance buildings in NYC, all of which had a larger effect on many more people who lived in the area or were first responders, who got serious medical conditions for life, or died.

To say that the terrorists who did that were some people who did something, doesn't acknowledge or identify it with the gravity of what the "something" was, IMO.

I understand that what was done was not the main point of her statement, so she referenced it in passing to move on to the main point, but nonetheless, .....

It would be comparable to telling a mother whose baby was horribly murdered, that the guy who did something to her family a while back is not representative of his religion or race. The statement to the mother may be technically correct, but insensitive in the way it refers to her baby being murdered.

That's my take on it. She's new in Congress and not used to speaking nationally. She is in the learning stages of how things come across, as opposed to her intent. It's tough. Even experienced politicians make a lot of gaffes (ask Biden!).

But I don't think she's worried about Trump's tweets. She knows any time she makes public statements about her religion or Israel or the Israeli lobby, that it's going to make waves and be on the news and probably be the subject of Trump tweets. She's using her time in Congress for her issues and wants the message put out there. She's unique, so she gets more coverage than some others. So she's using it. Most people would.
