New York Post editor FIRES BACK at critics of today’s cover quoting Ilhan Omar on 9/11
Today’s front cover of the New York Post is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥:
The most powerful cover we’ve run in my time here: “Here’s your something,” Rep. Omar!

They’re quoting from Rep. Ilhan Omar’s speech to CAIR in March of this year, which the media and libs are claiming were taken out of context:
NY Post fronts editorial denouncing @IlhanMN remarks. Unclear from the editorial if they actually viewed the whole speech. But here's what she said: washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…

But the words were not taken out of context. Here’s the full quote:
“CAIR 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”
And a transcript of the remarks:
Rep. Ilhan Omar: 'Raise Hell, Make People Uncomfortable', 'Tired' of US Muslims 'Being a Second-Class Citizen' by @JerylBier jerylbier.blogspot.com/2019/04/rep-il…

She’s also got the date CAIR, was found wrong. The organization was founded in 1994, not after 9/11/2001, so the entire quote is problematic for her:
The under-appreciated part of the Omar comments is her telling a CAIR banquet that CAIR was founded after 9/11, when CAIR was most certainly not founded after 9/11.

The full remarks don’t make her look any better:
I watched the full video. It wasn't out of context. It's how she chose to say it.

Yes it's odd how no one wants to answer what the "thing" was she said some people did.

What’s kind of amazing is that top Dems aren’t rushing to Rep. Omar’s defense:
But don’t worry, there are plenty of journos and libs to take up the slack:
In keeping with the second redemption theme, we have conservative northern newspapers amplifying racist propaganda twitter.com/harrysiegel/st…

And yes, misrepresenting the statements of a Muslim woman to imply she supports terrorism hinges largely on reaction to her appearance and religion. It’s racist.

I’m aghast that the NY Post would use this photo — the moment of death of hundreds of my fellow NYers — to score a cheap political point.
This is beyond grotesque. It’s shameful.

NY Post falls in line with the GOP messaging on Omar's quote, which was taken out of context. disgusting

This is a smear campaign. @nypost cover, below. For context, click this WP link. It shows Omar used the word "some" to distinguish terrorists from "all" Muslims.
For this, self-styled opponents of prejudice have chosen to attack and misrepresent her. wapo.st/2VEAySj

Disgusting and dangerous.

Sohrab Ahmari, who is the Op-Ed Editor for the New York Post, fired back at those critics:
Not a smear. "Some people did something"? Here's how a responsible, decent lawmaker would talk about 9/11, our generation's Pearl Harbor: "Islamists murdered nearly 3,000 innocent Americans."

@saletan By the way, she's welcome to argue that we "all" lost our civil liberties following 9/11. I would disagree on the substance. But she mustn't speak of the event in such grotesquely dismissive terms: "some people," "something."

Rep. Omar’s not going to get away from this one too quickly:
The father of an FDNY hero shames the anti-Semite @IlhanMN for her disgraceful comments.
