House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded President Donald Trump take down the 'dangerous' video showing Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar alongside clips of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi issued a statement Sunday demanding President Donald Trump take down the"dangerous" video showing Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar alongside clips of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Pelosi also said she has taken additional security measures to ensure Omar's safety.
Pelosi's statement continued: “The President’s words weigh a ton, and his hateful and inflammatory rhetoric creates real danger. President Trump must take down his disrespectful and dangerous video," the statement continued. “The memory of 9/11 is sacred ground, and any discussion of it must be done with reverence. The President shouldn’t use the painful images of 9/11 for a political attack,” Pelosi said in a statement. “It is wrong for the President, as Commander-in-Chief, to fan the flames to make anyone less safe.”
Several prominent Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke said, following Trump's tweet, that the president could be inciting violence against Omar.
