Giuliani, the former New York mayor and now President Trump’s attorney, shared a misleading video clip on Twitter late Thursday night that has spread on right-wing conspiracy sites claiming that Rep. Ilhan Omar took classes on terrorism.
A liberal Democrat from Minnesota, Omar is one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress last year and the first to wear a hijab. Since her election, she has faced intense scrutiny and criticism for her comments on Israel. Giuliani retweeted a 39-second clip of the interview video shared by Oliver McGee, a political analyst who worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign and then worked for the Republican candidates, including Trump, after Barack Obama won the election.
