I did post the image ot DJT...with the caveat that I didn't know what Omar has said in context...and specifically asked if the people so upset would have been upset if she had not been a Democrat.  Specifically because those same people defended DJT when he said "good people on both sides".

That is not comparing what the two people said...it was comparing the people who defended one and attacked the other.

I never defended what she said except to say "in context".  I've said, repeatedly, it was a bad choice of words.

I then showed how as a Muslim she is attacked by the right and tied to 9/11.  That is true.

And I said, multiple times, that it was a poor choice of words and that the right's reaction was over the top.  Including Crenshaw who had zero problem with DJT's video of Omar's words juxtaposed with images of the planes hitting the Twin Towers.

And I maintain that the right has made this a bigger issue than it would have been had she not been a Muslim speaking to other Muslims.  Period.

That does not mean that criticism from you or bfine or Crenshaw, or anyone isn't justified.  I never said that.  I said some of the criticism is as over the top.  Still is.

Her getting attacked previously for being a Muslim doesn't vindicated deflecting to that in response to criticism from three people who were not doing that. The fact that you can sit here and justify the connection based solely on the one event occurring unconnected to the over is laughable.
