9/11 victim's son blasts Ilhan Omar at Ground Zero memorial service

[JonLP24]

NY Post I'm only posting to give my reaction


A man whose mother was a 9/11 victim ripped Rep. Ilhan Omar for describing the terror attacks as “some people did something” during the annual anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero on Wednesday.

Nicholas Haros Jr., wearing a black T-shirt with the words “Some people did something?,” singled out the congresswoman and the other members of “the Squad” after reading the names of the dead, including that of his mother, Frances Haros, at the ceremony.

“’Some people did something,’ said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota,” said Haros in reference to Omar.

Amid some applause, Haros continued, “Today I am here to respond to you exactly who did what to whom.”

This statement is still being taken out of context. Her main point was the erosion of civil liberties Muslims faced in the aftermath of 9/11. I also thought this country was founded on freedom of religion rather than Jadeo Christian values.

1. your last paragraph.. exactly

2. From what I've read

t-rump and a few of this minions created a hate fest for the 9/11 memorial.

Therefore, I ignored them, and it's unfortunate that this young man who's mom was killed, apparently believes the lies.

3. Sorry his mom died

But he can go fuck himself. A lot of people died in wars that were launched on false pretenses after 9-11 while Republicans made getting Osama bin Laden a low priority. But I guess all the mothers, fathers, sons and daughters who died in those wars don't count for something except when Republicans need to wrap themselves in the flag.

18. Thank you very, very much for posting this

ONE MILLION CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN died in Iraq. But they were the wrong color to be counted or mourned by repugs and fake patriots.

4. Those people were Saudis I think. And none of them

get the blame.

5. Exactly..killed by Saudis

That the Gop has been in bed with forever. Hate he lost his Mom, but the Worthless Focks were SAUDIS. Do your Homework.

6. So how does he feel about Orange Julius inviting the Taliban to Camp David?

7. Some people did do something.

Do these people think they didn't?

Then some stupid other people did some other things (i.e. Bush/Cheney's knee-jerk responses in Afghanistan and Iraq), and 18 years later we're still at war, Gitmo is still open, Syria is destroyed, Yemen is destroyed, and millions are dead.

And Cons bitch about our Tone Policing.

Nick Haros needs to read the whole fucking quote.

8. Magat

taking shit out of context to politicize a somber occasion

[spanone]

9. And how did he feel about trump flying in the heads of the taliban for a soiree at Camp David?

10. Pelosi, Booker scolded at 9/11 memorial for using victims as 'props'

11. i'm not going to lecture a 9/11 victim on 9/11 so........

eom

[JI7]

12. he isn't being lectured on 9-11 but on his MAGA shit

[question everything]

13. Thank you

[Coventina]

16. Sorry, but no. His mom was the victim. He's chosen to be a poltical hack.

Therefore, he's fair game.

19. I'm with YOU.

17. Me neither. Her words were in defense, and thus, as is often the case when on the defensive,

inartful. Radical terrorists attacked the towers and the Pentagon. They have also attacked Muslims
they have deemed too moderate, by some accounts more Muslims than members of any other religion.
I did not like seeing Trump and gang try to make political hay of Omar’s words. Still, it is a fact that once one is a politician one must use words carefully.

14. Meanwhile, his asshole hero bragged about the tallest building....

.....in NYC.

Ignorant fuck.

15. that's exactly why the guy is full of shit. i would have let it go

if not for those comments defending the shit.
