“You refuse to cosponsor the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan w/completely out-of-context quote,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote about Dan Crenshaw on Twitter.
Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed a Republican colleague as a hypocrite on Thursday while defending fellow freshman Representative Ilhan Omar. The Democrat has been under fire in recent days for her recent comments about 9/11.
“First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as ‘some people who did something,’” Crenshaw tweeted on Thursday morning. “Unbelievable.” — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez April 11, 2019Crenshaw is a decorated former U.S. Navy Seal who served in the military for over 10 years, including three tours of duty. He is now serving as the representative for Texas’s 2nd congressional district.
Crenshaw tweeted first about Omar's remarks on Tuesday, sharing a tweet that falsely claimed she had said that she"does not consider" 9/11"a terrorist attack." "That she would liken 911 to 'some people did something' tells you all you need to know about her and what she thinks of America. As an American and a New Yorker I couldn’t be more offended by this bullshit, but of course Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and their band of liberal clowns will do nothing, and the media will try to make her some sort of hero to cover her hatred of this great country and it’s people. #enough #maga," the president’s son wrote.
— Donald Trump Jr. April 11, 2019Omar slammed conservatives for attacking her comments in a Twitter post, in which she called out Fox News and Crenshaw specifically, writing that it is a “dangerous incitement, given the death threats I face. I hope leaders of both parties will join me in condemning it.”
