The tendency of many on the left to obscure the culprits of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks was on display Wednesday at the 9/11 memorial event in New York City.
When Nicholas Haros Jr. stepped up to the microphone to remember his 76-year-old mother who died in the attack, he was wearing a shirt recalling Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s remark that 9/11 was about “some people who did something.”
Omar made the remark in April at a fundraiser for the Council for American-Islamic Relations, an organization founded in the United States by Hamas operatives.
Haros, the Washington Examiner reported, said Wednesday there should be no confusion about who attacked the United States on 9/11.
“‘Some people did something,’ said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota to support and justify the creation of CAIR,” said Haros. “Today I am here to respond to you, exactly who did what to whom.
“Madam, objectively speaking we know who and what was done, there is no uncertainty about that. Why your confusion? On that day 19 Islamic terrorist members of al Qaeda killed over 3,000 people and caused billions of dollars in economic damage. Is that clear?”
Haros added: “But as to whom? I was attacked. Your relatives and friends were attacked. Our constitutional freedoms were attacked. And our nation’s founding on Judeo-Christian principles were attacked. That’s what some people did. Got that now? We are here today congresswoman to tell you and ‘the squad’ just who did what to whom. Show respect in honoring them, please.”
In 2018, the Examiner reported, Haros chastised Democrats and the media for using the anniversary of 9/11 for “political theater,” accusing them of using victims as “props.”
In a tweet Wednesday, Omar said: “We will never forget the thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the largest terror attack on U.S. soil. I will continue to fight to make sure we care for the first responders and families who lost loved ones.”
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the New York Times sent out a tweet suggesting that airplanes, with a mind of their own, “took aim” at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon 18 years ago, not Islamic terrorists carrying out a deliberate attack on the United States of America.
