RJ is truly the worst.
Omar's unwillingness to hold Muslims responsible for 9/11 shows she needs to be marginalized. She's had almost a week to fix her statement and has refused to do so. This is outrageous. She needs to be held accountable.

These are her EXACT words- "“CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something"
"Some people did something"...That's what she said.
She should have said the actions of twenty odd Muslims don't represent what a billion Muslims believe or how they how they act. But by saying "some people" She de facto minimizes what happened.
In no way does this justify the threats upon her or her family's safety or the egregious, bigoted attacks on Muslims in the US and around thew world before and since 9/11. However, to minimize who did the attacks gives those filled with hate an excuse that doesn't need to exist.
Unlike many here, I hold people from all sides accountable and have for over a quarter of a century on Wake boards. It doesn't matter if it's Netanyahu's immoral annexations or Trump's "many fine people" or Omar's "some people did something". Wrong is wrong and needs to be held accountable.
Her words detract from a viable and evil problem.

And it's why he's going to be elected again.
That doesn't change anything. Who were those"some people"? Her statement would have been strong but she distracted from it and this seems to be a pattern.
We all agree the discrimination against Muslims is horrific and national disgrace, but her statements have been ham-handed. They have harmed the problem.
And it's why he's going to be elected again.
Creamy, why is Omar more responsible for 9/11 than you are for whatever white nationalist church burning, mass shooting, beating or whatever a white American male does this week? Omar isn't even the same race or nationality as the perpetrators of 9/11? Why should she lose civil liberties because Muslims from a whole different country attacked us on 9/11?
