«For too long we have lived with a sense of discomfort, that we are citizens of second class and, frankly, I’m tired of this, and every Muslim in this country was tired of it, said Omar at the meeting CAIR. — CAIR was founded after September 11, because they found that some people did something, and as a result we all have lost their civil liberties».
«New York Post» made the cover only part of the quote is that «some people did something». Below was the text: «Here’s your something» and «2977 people died from terrorism».

I’m not going to quote the NY Post»s horrifying, hateful cover.
Here’s 1 fact: @IlhanMN is a cosponsor of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. She’s done more for the 9/11 families than the GOP who won’t even support healthcare for 1st responders — yet are happy to weaponize her faith.
