c.a.r.e. was founded after 9/11, because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. >> all right. congressman, start with you on this one. looking at the initial comments and the president's response to all of this, does one warrant the other? >> i think that the congresswoman's comments really minimized what happened on 9/11 and who was at fault, and she really should have taken the subsequent opportunity to explain that there are peace-loving muslims all over the world, and that she did not put things in its proper context. obviously, the president sought to accentuate her failure to create the proper context, and, really, at this point, to what you're reporting just indicated, this is really a fight, i think, within the democratic party. i think trump has shined a light on some of the tensions within the democratic party over our policy towards israel. >> but congressman what do you think about the president's resp

to bring that up and label her -- >> c.a.r.e. was created in 1994 and not 2001. horrific incident no doubt about it, she didn't say that. i don't know if people are suggesting that she doesn't believe it's horrific, but what do you make of the phrasing that the president is pointing out here and many republicans, some people did something? >> in the context of her statement, the emphasis on her with the civil liberties and the results of those bad acts she chose that phrase, some people did something, but what -- that was the intro. american muslims suffered as a result not because they participated in that bad act but simply because they were american muslims and that's wrong and racist. >> brian, let me ask you about the video has tweeted out and has pinned at the top of his twitter account and i talked about that phrase in 9/11. representative omar has been threatened, her life was threatened. a man was arrested and charged in attempting to hurt her or murder her. in the affidavit it says that he described himself as a patriot, he loves the president and he ha
