Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended Rep. Ilhan Omar Thursday for describing the Sept. 11th attacks as 'some people did something' before being criticized for telling former Navy SEAL Dan Crenshaw to 'go do something about domestic terror'.
Omar made the comment at a recent speech at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
She called for an end to discrimination against Muslims, then said: '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.'
Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw attacked her remarks on Twitter and tweeted out a short excerpt. Fox News host Brian Kilmeade questioned whether she was 'an American first'.
Ocasio-Cortez hit out at Crenshaw on Twitter for using 'out-of-context quotes' to go after Omar - and also referenced the front page of Thursday's New York Post which attacked the Minnestota freshman Congresswoman.
Ocasional Cortex at it again!!!'You refuse to cosponsor the 9/11 Victim's Compensation Fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan w/completely out-of-context quotes,' she wrote.
'In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don't you go do something about that?' she added.
But AOC faced a fierce backlash on Twitter by users who pointed out she was criticizing a veteran.
Caleb Hull asked: 'Are you aware that you're speaking to a veteran who lost his eye in combat?'
Another user wrote: 'Peak @AOC Telling a combat veteran that lost his eye FIGHTING terrorists in AFGHANISTAN to "do something" to help against terrorism.'
Kambree Kawahine Koa added: 'When was AOC a combat war hero? Oh wait, never

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak.
