Twitter war between two freshman members of Congress escalated Wednesday when Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, condemned Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn of her refusal to call 9/11 a terrorist attack!
She singled out Crenshaw and Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade as examples of what she said was incitement to violence against her.
“This is dangerous incitement, given the death threats I face,” Omar tweeted. “I hope leaders of both parties will join me in condemning it.”

Ilhan Omar got back a scorching response again from her House colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw over her comments about the 9/11 terror attacks.
Crenshaw pointed out that he never called Omar “un-American,” and that he did not incite violence against her.
“You described an act of terrorism on American soil that killed thousands of innocent lives as ‘some people did something,'” he added.
“It’s still unbelievable, as is your response here,” he concluded.
1. I never called you un-American.
2. I did not incite any violence against you.
3. You described an act of terrorism on American soil that killed thousands of innocent lives as “some people did something.”
It’s still unbelievable, as is your response here. https://t.co/SsfWYepOS1

Omar spoke at a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) fundraiser last month, where she called upon other Muslim Americans to “make people uncomfortable” with their activism and presence in the society and criticized the Jewish state.
She said:
“…some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”
Watch:
She faced a huge backlash and the brave A American patriot Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw was one of the first people to slam Omar for her description of the terror attacks.
“The first Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as ‘some people who did something,’” Crenshaw wrote in a tweet. “Unbelievable.”
Others have also jumped on to criticize Omar’s language, urging Democrats to condemn her remarks about the largest terror attack on U.S. soil that left nearly 3,000 people dead.
“9/11 terrorists & the terror attacks they conducted are described as simply ‘some people did something’? Every Democrat should be asked by the media if they disavow @IlhanMN’s statements. Every one of them” tweeted Andrew Pollack, father of a Parkland high school shooting victim.
“Ilhan Omar isn’t just anti-Semitic – she’s anti-American. Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives to Islamic terrorists on 9/11, yet Omar diminishes it as: ‘Some people did something.’ Democrat leaders need to condemn her brazen display of disrespect,” said GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
