Nancy Pelosi: Trump's 'Hateful' Comments About Rep. Ilhan Omar Pose 'Real Danger'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned Sunday that President Donald Trump s hateful rhetoric toward Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) creates real danger, days after some Democrats claimed she wasnt taking a strong enough stance against the presidents anti-Muslim actions.

The presidents words weigh a ton, and his hateful and inflammatory rhetoric creates real danger, Pelosi said in a statement.

Pelosi called on Trump to take down his disrespectful and dangerous video, referring to a misleading video the president tweeted Friday to his nearly 60 million followers. The video splices together comments Omar, a Muslim, made last month with footage of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Omar, speaking to a Council on American-Islamic Relations event in Los Angeles on March 23, had condemned the increase in hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S. in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.

What Islam teaches us, and what I always say, is that love trumps hate, Omar said in her speech. No matter how much [Muslim Americans] have tried to be the best neighbor, people have always worked on finding a way to not allow for every single civil liberty to be extended to us.

A video clip of a small portion of her comments, missing key context, went viral last week after right-wingers shared it on their social media pages.

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, Omar can be heard saying in a 19-second video clip taken from her roughly 20-minute speech .

Republican lawmakers and figures, either commenting before watching her whole speech or intentionally misleading their followers, falsely accused Omar of shrugging off the Sept. 11 attacks.

Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, called Omar a terrorist sympathizing anti-Semite and called for her to step down.

If it werent clear *before* her unbelievable comments about 9/11, Ilhan Omar needs to go, McDaniel tweeted Wednesday.

All three Fox & Friends co-hosts, Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt and Steve Doocy, slammed Omar during their Wednesday morning broadcast.

You have to wonder if shes an American first, Kilmeade said, tapping into the Islamophobic trope that Muslims in America harbor dual loyalties .

Trump joined the Omar-bashing bandwagon by sharing the graphic video of the twin towers in New York City crumbling to the ground during the attacks following Omars comments.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET! he wrote in the tweet that included the video.
