omar said.rge bush is saying it to the whole country and not considered to be anti-american for that statement whatsoever. i think what ilhan omar is saying is completely within the boundaries of what is normal political discourse in this country. and we could go one. that is one example. another example would be ilhan omar is now accused of claiming -- her detractors will say she claims jewish people in the united states suffer from a dual loyalty campaign. the fact, she did not say that, so i think it is important to qualify what she did say it did not say. questions ofout allegiance. if we listen to your last segment and talk about anti-bds laws, those are in fact allegiance laws built into that very system of the united ststates. however, somebody did say something that was in fact claiming dual loyalty for jewish americans, and that would be our president now, donald trump. amy: explain what he said. >> he said something to the effefect when speaking to jewish american groups -- amy: the je

the current edition of newsweek has a full tech sure of ilhan omar "ilhan omar: the democrats and israel is looking at the breaking of the consensus, particularly within the democratic party, around support for aipac. you look at the aipac meeting that just took placed. among those who did not attend were one after another democratic presidential candidates. senator bernie sanders was not there, senator kamala harris, elizabeth warren were not there, beto o'rourke was that there, washington governor r jay inslee was not there. beto o'rourke recently called netanyahu a racist. can you talk about this breaking of the consensus. you have an event taking place that is getting tremendous pushback that has people like marc lamont hill going, as well ,s linda sarsour, dave zirin and others. you have a number of groups protesting this, but you also have them pushing back and the university standing up for the right o of this gathering to spk about palestine, that will be taking place may 4, this saturday. so there is a breaking of consensus. ilhan omar is not out there alone, though she is the l

omar's comment was used as a weapon against her, including by president trump who pinned this anti-omar video to the top of his twitter page. trump as video is what propelled this story all way to the nightly news. now it is being framed as trump versus omar. some critics say trump is putting her life in danger. but there is something bigger going on here with this story. it tells us something about right wing rage machine and how news stories are set. the history of the united states is a tug-of-war over who belongs and who is equal and who has power. it is the biggest story of all. those of us in the press oftentimes cover this in tiny discrete bits. we put a small frame on the biggest story. i think we do a better job when we wide in and way out. part of widening out is showing where does the controversy come from? how was it katied in the first place? who created it? who stands to benefit from it being created? and who stands to lose, who stands to suffer? these are the big questions i think we should be asking when there are these eruptions that happen. let's do that. let's bring i

trump's selectively quoted omar making it look like she was downplaying the nine eleven attacks what a live update from washington and a moment but first john hendren takes us through the whole story. it was a provocative tweet critics say went too far president donald trump on saturday tweeted a quote about the nine eleven attacks from muslim congresswoman omar's peeking at the council on american islamic relations along with the words we will never forget it was founded after nine eleven because they recognized that some people did something the president's post came days after the conservative new york post put this on its cover the video when trump's tweet selectively quotes omar along with images of the world trade center attacks which we are not showing it was designed to suggest that omar was minimizing the effect of nine eleven but a fuller quote shows which he was actually saying is that muslims in the u.s. have been stigmatized since those attacks kid was found it after nine eleven because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lo

she is not acknowledged omar in any way and not stood up for omar herself. she asked somebody else to protect this person. that's the protection that is not a defense. >>> the point about the ways in which her rhetoric is tricky for democrats because on a substantive level or other things, what do you say to people? i have to keep my distance from her politically or don't believe in her substantively and you want me to vouch for her? >> this party prided itself on being able to stand up for the little guy. you have a leader in who has run away from for a long time. the party is not standing with her. that's not okay. you mentioned caesar sayoc. we were on caesar's watch list. he googled our name and address. the fact of the matter is, you shouldn't have to worry about your kids being targeted for violence to run for office in this country or to serve your country. more point about congresswoman omar. this is a woman who took an oath to defend the constitution not once when she took office, but when she chose to become an american. that's a choice she knows w

crenshaw says he never incited violence against omar.resswoman omar is no stranger to controversy. she made many comments many deemed anti-semitic. in 2017 she tweeted america was founded by genocide saying we maintain power through neocolonialism. let's bring in julian epstein, former counsel the house judiciary committee and guy benson, to debate this. welcome to you both. chad talked about the initial tweet by dan crenshaw. congresswoman omar added this is dangerous incitement given the death threats i face i hope leaders of both parties will join me in condemning it. my love and commitment to my country and that of my colleagues to never be in question. we are all americans. >> it is not incitement. what omar said about 9/11, i grew up in the new york area, my dad was lower manhattan. as i watched her describe it the way she did, there was another interview where she was laughing through a discussion of terrorism. it made me cringe. i wouldn't talk about those things that way. i was less angry about what she said than the responses i

she also seemed to have a message for omar too. the memory of 9/11 is sacred ground and any discussion of it must be done with reverence. did you take any issue with the way congresswoman omar characterized 9/11? >> no, i did not. she was talking about discrimination against muslim americans. she said after that happened it was used as an excuse for lots of discrimination and for withdrawal of civil liberties. i did not take -- i've had problems with some of her other remarks but not with that one. and for the president -- 9/11 occurred in my district. i'm very f suffered from it, i involved. i was instrumental in getting funding for small business grants for victims of 9/11, for people with small businesses in the area. the president -- he wasn't president then, but donald trump took a $150,000 grant from the bush administration meant for small businessmen for 40 wall street. he stole $150,000 from some small business person who could have used it to help rehabilitate themselves. that's why i got congress to appropriate that money

ilhan omar is not the victim.d she's trying to protect yourself by claiming victim status. thank god the president is standing up for jews in america and around the world. the tragedy, beyond belief that the democratic party can't bring themselves to attack ilhan omar similarly for her grotesque predatory anti-semitism. >> shannon: jessica, and the inlet to, the headline democrats are falling into the ilhan omar trap. he says the president wants to make the face of 2020 for democrats. cannot be pleasant for omar's colleagues have to wonder and worry what the next remark will be for her. knowing the donald trump and his twitter feed will be waiting to blame all democrats for the provocations of one. >> david from is absolutely correct. i happen to think this particular comment that she made about someone did something about 9/11 witches in the context of a 20 minute speech where she was talking about the treatment of muslim americans having gotten much worse after 9/11 which we all can agree has happened and there'

. >>> omar outrage. trz attacks congresswoman ilhan omar for her controversial 9/11 comments. democrats coming to her offense. >> donald trump is trying to insight violence. >> does the party stand by her words? 37-year-old mayor pete buttigieg makes it official today as he and vice president mike pence clash over christian values. >> he has his convictions. i have mine. >> your quarrel, sir, is with my creator. >> reporter: another under 40 candidate enters the race framing his pitch around gun control. congressman eric swalwell is here. >>> i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is trying to keep up. washington preparing for the expected release of the full mueller report, just days after president trump seemed to spiral out of control a bit on his signature issue, immigration. the president spent saturday railing on twitter saying he's, quote, not frustrated, unquote, except it sure seems like he's frustrated. he removed top leadership of homeland security along with i.c.e. and others on their way out the door. after the white house denying the president

majority of them are african-americans they share the same skin color as ilhan omar. what he did was put more of us in jeopardy. hate crime was increased under his leadership towards muslim americans and we need to speak up and the way we can sure we have as many people of color coming out to the polls so that we can send a clear, clear answer to this type of hate in our country. we must have it stop. too many of our young children are seeing this, too many are getting bullied in school, too many people at workplaces are getting discriminated against and it needs to stop. we've seen this over and over again with other people of color and i can tell you, if anything, this country is not divide, we're disconnected. if anything, let this hateful president connect us on the issue around justice and equality and the issue around that we will not allow hate to fester within our federal government, within the leadership from the white house. we need to speak up and the way we can do it is by outvoting them every single election. >> rashida tlaib, this is obviously very perso

from their perspective, it's like, ilhan omar does not care that they're coming after her, clearly.he's not going to be cowed. that's also true of alexandria ocasio-cortez. and the posture and politics of the democratic leadership is like, we don't want to be on "fox news" every night and we don't want to be fighting these defensive fights. >> we're in a battle globally of the fate for multi-racial liberal democracy. they don't have a choice. that is the fight that we're having all over the world from america to new zealand and we really have -- the democratic party needs to be the fight -- the party of multi-racial mull charlism. >> thank you all for joining me. >>> tonight, the tag team of a president and his attorney general. donald trump praises bill barr's spying comments as accurate and absolutely true. can't help but adding it was illegal and unprecedented. all of this as the president knows just days from now we'll all be reading about him in the mueller report. >>> james comey has weighed in on the attorney general. so has rod rosenstein. his new comments tonight on how the

i've criticized him where i thought he didn't respond strong enough, but omar, ilhan omar and others,by the way, i think democrats who really love israel are, i t they've got to be destroyed over this. >> you went further than that, actually. a few ajc, you would never vote for him, you called him a bigot, what changed your mind? >> i just told you. first of all, when he was running i opposed him in the primary. >> but you do not believe he's a fraud any more? >> no. i've watched him govern for two years. i've watched him strengthen the u.s./israel relationship in ways i've told you again and again, shutting the u.n. up on its continuous anti-semitic efforts and motions. i've watched this guy govern. i've watched him enact one of the greatest tax cuts that have generated economic growth. cutting regulation. i'm a republican and conservative. he appointed brett kavanaugh and neil gorsuch to the supreme court. >> i don't know how those speak to your claims of misogyny or of fraud. >> i watched him govern. do i think this president is governing well, is he representing this country well,

you could agree or disagree with omar, ilhan omar, representative omar, but the problem is, you can't be okay with this inciting of violence by this president. you can't, that is not something that we should be okay with. and it shouldn't be about politics. >> as the "new york times" points out, car rin, attacking ilhan omar, trump revives his familiar refrain against muslims. this is something he has done again and again on the campaign trail. watch. >> look. their something going on, the muslims. >> we have the to look at the muslims. we have to do something. we cannot stand by and be the stupid people while our country is destroyed. >> i think islam hates us. >> and it follows a pattern that has had actual policy impacts as well. the very beginning of the president's presidency, he worked to prevent many people coming from primarily muslim countries from being able to enter the united states. so it's sort of in line what he has done before not just ret torically but in terms of policy. >> we are in a week when we can expect the mueller report to be public. >> the president wants to

there, omar referenced the 9/11 attackers as "some people" who "did something."cs, including lawmakers, have accused omar of downplaying the terror attack that killed near 3,000 people. but omar's full remarks go on to address how, after the attack, muslims felt their civil liberties were targeted. then, last friday, president trump tweeted a deo of the 9/11 attacks alongside omar's comment. he wrote, "we will never forget," unleashina bitterde te and re-opening old wounds over the attacks. in response, house speaker nancy pelosi said the president's "hateful and inflammatory rhetoric creat a real danger." she called for mr. trump to take down the video, and said she had taken steps to ensure omar's safety. in a statement, omar said, "since the president's tweet friday evening, i have experienced an increase in direct threats on my life, many directly referencing or replying to the president's video." >> we now have a president who, for cheap political gain, is trying to divide us up.do >> alcin on the campaign trail over the weekend, veont senator bernie sanders

the left, they weren't upset about omar's original comments. they are mad at trump, claiming he is the problem endangering this woman's life. >> donald trump is trying to incite violence and to divide us. >> she does not deserve the kind of vicious, hate filled attacks that she's experiencing, threats on her life. >> this is an incitement to violence. against congresswoman omar, against our fellow americans who happen to be muslim. >> laura: i am just glad someone found beto. i haven't seen them in a while. in a local interview in minnesota yesterday, trump was characteristically unapologetic when asked if he had second thoughts about criticizing omar. the president replied no, not at all. well, she's been very disrespectful to this country. she's been very disrespectful frankly to israel. she has someone that doesn't really understand i think life. real life. what it's all about. it's unfortunate. she's got away about her that's very, very bad i think for our country. i think she's extremely unpatriotic and extremely disrespectful to our count

hate statements omar has made. muslim lawmaker said she's faced an increase in death threats following a re-tweet from the president targeting her over a comment she made referencing 9/11. >> some people did something. >> the video added a slip from her speech with footage from the september 11 terrorist attacks and the comment was part of a speech to the muslim civil rights organization care. >> cair was founded after 9/11 because they recognize that had some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. >> the white house defended the president's tweet saying continue to call out congresswoman omar. the press secretary sara sanders said he wishes her no ill will. >> the president is not trying to incite violence and he's speaking out against it. >> in a tweet sunday night, omar accused the president of encouraging hate speech saying we are all americans, this is endangering lives and this has to stop. in the wake of the latest controversy, pelosi said she's taking st

congress wouldman omar described 9/11 as some people did something. her embarrassing comments causing a new rift within the democratic party. the usual suspects will stick up for their fellow radical no matter what. >> we are getting to a level where this is an inassignment of violence against progressive women of color. if they can't figure out how to get it back to policy we need to call it out for what it is. this is not normal. >> i'm not for policing people, that's what they're doing to women of color. this is a diverse class. they have never had so many women. this is not just a congress that looks differently but we serve differently, talk about the issues differently. >> dan: top level democrats are blasting the freshman congresswoman, watch this. >> insensitive, and it's offensive. on 9/11 radical terrorists attacked you see, new york city lost thousands of people. there's a lot of pain, in memory of 9/11, that pain isn't going anywhere. >> those staples were not only hurtful to me but extremely hurtful to everyone that was personally impacte

look, i've been very critical of omar.itic stereotypes. i have taken a lot of grief from democrats from that, some democrats but i think it was clear some of the things that she was saying that were anti-semitic stereotypes. here, her explanation is that what she was trying to get at was the mistreatment of religious minorities after 9/11. that was the point she was trying to get to. i don't know what's in her heart. maybe she should be called to explain it. but i think she ought to explain it. >> shannon: but to bring up the idea of racism. >> julian: i agree. i think that is an unfortunate use of that kind of defense. and i think sometimes that defense is overused on the left for things better and appropriate. i think it is inappropriate here. i mean, look, 9/11 is an open wound on our national soil. and i think any time you speak about it, you have to use very, very careful language. does your duty to make sure that you are not interpreted as lessening the significance of that. whether she was or wasn't, the lines that

representative omar is also a mom, a mom to three great kids.ut her personal safety when she's trying to serve this country i think is wrong. the president is free to disagree and disagrees significantly -- to vehemently disagree with representative omar. to put her life at risk and insight violence i think is just immoral come to her defense, now the president is tweeting again about this, writing before nancy who just lost all control of congress and is getting nothing done decides to defend her leader rep omar she should look at the anti-semitic, anti-israel and ungrateful u.s. hate statements omar has made. she is out of control except for her control of nancy. what's your reaction to that? >> representative omar has made clear multiple times, including as recently as yesterday or the day before how grateful she is to have come to this country. she is an immigrant, she came here as a refugee, she wanted very much to the in the united states and has gone forth to serve the united states as a member of congress. so the suggestion that she is a

it's actually ilhan omar. an indication the president really wants to cause internal turmoil inside the democratic party, because he wants to really draw this out. he wants to make this a bigger issue. you've seen in the past what democrats have done with omar, a little bit of admonishment. a general resolution against anti-semitism, but different about this time, democrats are rallying around omar. that started the moment after that initial tweet from the president. aoc demanding fell 0 ining fell take this action and presidential democrats mention in twitter saturday on in person, and speaker pelosi increasing omar's security. where this goes from here i'm not quite sure. one quick note a slight shift. that the president's campaign seems to acknowledge that rep openar's life is potentially in danger saying that she is at fault. mark lauder on cnn saying if anyone's to blame it's her, for her initial comments. >> wow. nbc's hans nichols for us. thank you. >>> i want ta talk more about this bringing in former

omar referenced 9/11 when she said, some people did something. take a listen. >> far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen and, frankly, i'm tired of it and every single muslim in this country should be tired of it. c.a.r.e. was founded after 9/11, because they recognize that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. >> omar's comment received harsh backlash, the "new york post" had this cover criticizing her remarks. and one fact check, c.a.r.e. was not founded after 9/11, it was founded in 1994. let's get to the white house with cnn sarah west food on the president's inflammatory tweet. sarah, is the white house responding now to the backlash and to those who are saying omar's comments have been taken out of context? >> reporter: well, fred, so far the white house is staying silent on this wave of support that we are seeing for congresswoman ilhan omar in the wake of president trump's controversial decision to post that provocative clip, but this mornin

democrats have lined up behind congresswoman omar. many of the presidential candidates have condemned the president's decision to share that clip. speaker pelosi writing the memory of 9/11 is sacred ground. the president shouldn't use the painful images of 9/11 for a political attack. this comes after congresswoman omar has received death threats many of her previous comments have come under scrutiny. democrats arguing president trump could be inciting violence. republicans argue that congresswoman omar down played the significance of 9/11. >> let me shift gears a little bit sarah about immigration, the battle that continues to brew. trump saying he's considering bussing migrants into sanctuary cities in part to spite democrats. the acting secretary of defense said he expects to send more troops to the southern border. what more can you tell us? >> we're seeing a shift in the administration's immigration policy. president trump confirming he wants to pursue this policy of bussing migrants to sanctuary cities for release hours after wh

omar al bashir it is really a bloodthirsty leader.e, he executed 28 officers without trial, executed three civilians because they held hard currency. he gave a carte blanche for security. sudan has known military rule for all of its 60 odd yea rs of military rule for all of its 60 odd years of independence, how can you keep the military out of government in sudan? they have become hinged to the idea of takeover so we must have a civilian military charter that we basically of the role of the military in training and so on that we make the military subject to civilian democratic control stop democracy itself cannot be stabilised without addressing certain issues, like cultural and social adaptations stop we cannot simply cut and paste the westminster pattern so we have to revise this in order to make it practical and to be able to successfully exercise democracy. you need an ingenious plan, as you said. indeed and this is what i have been thinking about all the time and now it is time to begin to exercise this idea and we are going to i

obviously there have been threats on omar's life. she's shared those with other colleagues in the house for the past few weeks. so i don't -- i mean, you can't say that the president saying something is going to incite someone else to do violence, you know. this is -- >> but the timing certainly is questionable after this man was charged with wanting to murder her. >> right. and i think that that is why you are seeing progressives in the house, alexandria ocasio-cortez in new york, rashida tlaib another muslim woman have been pressuring speaker pelosi and other democrats in the house to actually put something on the house floor that would came out the president and his remarks. so there are friends of hers who are concerned, but again, this is the president typically hitting back at his opponents and using this to sort of inflame his own base. >> rachel, thank you for your time. >>> and beto o'rourke is also showing support for congresswoman omar. he tweeted we are stronger than this president and he hate trre. don't let divide us ap

daymac the headline democrats are falling to the omar trap, the president wants to make her the facef 2020 for democrats, it cannot be pleasant for her colleagues to have to wonder and worry what the next remark will be for, knowing donald trump and the twitter feed will be waiting to blame all democrats for the provocations of one. >> absolutely correct. i happen to think this particular comment she made that someone did something about 9/11 in the context of a 20 minute speech talking about the treatment of muslim americans, having gotten much worse after 9/11 which we all can agree has happened and is a ton of research to back that up, was not one of the worst offenses certainly but there is a danger in this, donald trump likes to have a foil, likes to have a female foil coming 2016 was hillary clinton, he tweeted image of her of a pile of cash, and anti-semitic trope. she wants jewish money. this what they do with george soros as well, everyone wants jewish money and they are making arguments to please jewish donors so they -- is the going to back me up it is an anti-semitic trop

the connection they tried to make here is absurd because congressman omar legitimate and needs to be said. >> steve: well, sean, your grade. and i never blame bernie sanders. that is not where the blame should be. it should be with the shooter. but in the case of omar continues to say, first the anti-semitic comments that are incredibly offensive not just to jewish people but people all around the world due to freedom and love our relationship with israel and the ability to support a country that actually stands for democracy in the middle east. then you shipped over to what she said about 9/11. some people did some things. it was in new york last week and let me tell you, the nerves are incredibly raw. you are in new york right now. i had people tell me and somebody after she made these comments come i had three friends jump out of buildings that day. for her to say that how offensive it is to them. instead of apologizing, she doesn't apologize because she believes it and she doesn't care how many people she offends. they tried to shield her and say you cannot offend her. first of a
