As I mentioned on the anniversary of 9/11, Nicholas Haros Jr., the son of a woman who died that horrific day, made it ABUNDANTLY clear how he felt about Ilhan Omar’s “somebody did something” comments.
Ilhan later appeared on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” where she implied that SHE was the true victim of 9/11. When asked if she understood why her comments were offensive, she had NO ANSWER – and yet she certainly had a lot to say about how hard it was ON HER:
“Not only was I suffering as an American who was attacked on that day, but the next day I woke up as my fellow Americans were now treating me a suspect.”
How very SAD for her.
Nicholas Haros Jr. joined Fox News’ Martha MacCallum to react.
“What’s your reaction to what she said?” MacCallum asked. “How do you — how do you feel about that?”
“Well, I thought about it. And what I heard her say the second time was that she cannot feel pain for the families and that we should just remember and never forget, not the day, but the aftermath,” Haros responded. “And I think that doesn’t quite hit the mark.”
“I don’t personally need an apology, but I do think you need to apologize to the American peoples,” Haros continued. “You can continue to support a fringe group of Muslims. I called out no such message. My message was specific to your remarks and 19 specific terrorists. ”
“But as you go forward, as a representative of the United States, I suggest that you draw your own line on what side do you want to be,” Haros concluded. “Do you want to be on the side with peace-loving Muslims, as I am? Or do you want to continue to represent the fringe element?”
I think she’s made it pretty clear already.
