Ilhan Omar? I know no curses vile enough for Mr Trump's behavior. Every time I think he can't get any worse, he does. (source)
Republicans Prove Ilhan Omar Is Right About Anti-Muslim Bigotry

Representative Ilhan Omar made some anodyne remarks about discrimination targeting Muslims this week. In a speech she gave to a group fighting against anti-Muslim discrimination, she noted that the actions of a few people caused a backlash against the American Muslim community as a whole.
Republican Representative Dan Crenshaw of Texas waxed indignant, pretending Omar was downplaying the attacks:
Dan Crenshaw ✔ @DanCrenshawTX
First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as “some people who did something”. Unbelievable.
Imam Mohamad Tawhidi ✔ Ilhan Omar mentions 9/11 and does not consider it a terrorist attack on the USA by terrorists, instead she refers to it as “Some people did something”, then she goes on to justify the establishment of a terrorist organization (CAIR) on US soil.
Crenshaw and Kilmeade are obviously underscoring the very bigotry Omar was taking note of in the first place. And if you’re missing the irony of Kilmeade’s slander, recall that Omar created a firestorm among both parties by questioning the loyalty of American supporters of Israel. But the level of offensiveness she evinced that one time — and for which she was justifiably rebuked — is exceeded by leading Republicans on a near-daily basis."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,
for nature cannot be fooled."
