Trump, to the accusation against a Muslim parliamentarian …

In accordance with his foreign policy against immigrants, US President Donald Trump demonized via Twitter Muslim Democratic Congressman Ilhan Omar, the first person of Somali descent and the first Muslim woman to win a seat in the House of Representatives. Leaving aside any diplomacy, the president recounted an Omar speech at the attack of the 11 twin towers of September 11 in a video, harshly questioned for "encouraging hatred and Islamophobia" by members of the opposition. In this publication, the Democrats called on national security to guarantee the safety of the congressman, whose "life is in danger" because of the repeated death threats she has received for her religious elections, while the White House had to make a statement to try to stop the scandal unleashed.

The controversy began with the president's reaction to a speech made in March by Omar before the civil rights organization of the Muslim Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), released Tuesday on the YouTube platform. There, Omar denounced the stigma that accompanies Muslims living in the United States, those who "live for too long" as "second-clbad citizens". "CAIR was founded after September 11, because they understood that some people had acted and we all started to lose access to our civil liberties," added the congressman.

"The memory of September 11 is sacred territory and any conversation about it should be done with reverence. the painful images of September 11th for a political attack, "Pelosi told Trump on his Twitter account.

Other Democrats have directly accused Trump of inciting violence against Omar, who this month received at least a death threat from a man who called his office and claimed he was a "terrorist" and that he "would put a bullet in his head". bading head. "Omar's life is in danger," Democratic MP Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Friday in a tweet.

Omar thanked the support in a tweet, in which he badured that the attacks would not erode his "absolute love for the United States", and recalled that Trump had asked during his 2016 election campaign "to Prohibit the entry of Muslims "into the country.

In the midst of criticism, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders denied that Trump wanted to incite hatred, but did not apologize for its publication and even tried to justify it. "The president wants nothing bad, and certainly no violence against anyone, but he denounces the woman of Congress, as it should, because of his anti-Semitic statements," Sanders said in an interview with ABC News. .
