Giuliani retweeted a misleading video of Omar in which he claimed she was laughing at terrorism.
Rudy Giuliani has attacked Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar by sharing a misleading video—long-peddled by right-wing conspiracy theorists—alleging the congresswoman took classes in terrorism.
Omar then goes on to joke about her professor, who she said raised his shoulders suddenly every time he named a specific terrorist group, such as Al Qaeda or Hezbollah. According to BuzzFeed News, the video is intentionally misleading and has regularly been used by social media users and right-wing media to attack the freshman representative, who has already become a favored target of the right-wing. High-ranking officials at the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency have previously come under fire for spreading the video and making related xenephobic remarks.
She has come under sustained fire for controversial comments about the state of Israel and pro-Israeli lobbying in Washington, D.C., suggesting groups such as AIPAC have too much influence over U.S. lawmakers.
