The Fascists MAGAites Republicans reveal their latest vile strategy for dividing this country and intimidating minority voices into silence.
Verbatim quoting.
While at a fundraiser for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in LA on March 23, [Rep. Ilhan] Omar [Dumbass-MN] said, "CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties." (USA Today notes she was mistaken about CAIR's founding, which happened in 1994.)
Conservatives pounced, of course. Or seized on or whatever it is we do now.
The Daily Beast reports the comments began making the rounds this week among right-wing media outlets, "with conservatives interpreting them as minimizing the terrorist attack."
"How was the theater tonight, Mrs. Lincoln?"
"Not great."
"Why not? What on Earth happened?"
"I don't know, some stupid crap went down."
Rep Dan Crenshaw of Texas on Tuesday tweeted, "First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as 'some people who did something'. Unbelievable."
In his speech before Congress, didn't Franklin Roosevelt describe Pearl Harbor as, "some stuff that just happened a day or so ago in the middle of the Pacific?" Anyway, Illie took it the wrong way, as you knew she would.
This is dangerous incitement, given the death threats I face. I hope leaders of both parties will join me in condemning it.
Not so much given that what you said just before that quote makes it FAR worse.
The HuffPost has the lines that preceded her 9/11 statement. "Far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen. Frankly, I’m tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it."
Because it's all about you, isn't it? Good God, sit down and shut up.

I'd like to know when Muslims have been treated as second-class citizens or been deprived of their civil rights.
I Believe pounced is the correct current usage.
Katherine, Muslims believe they are second class because they are not the only first class citizens.
You're right about that one, BillB, but that doesn't mean it makes any sense to other Americans.
