People grieving at the September 11 commemoration criticize Omar and denounce armed violence

At least two people mourning September 11th, having read the names of the victims at the annual commemorative ceremony, reversed the solemn moment in a dramatic political scene in New York on Wednesday. One decried armed violence and another mocked Minnesota representative Ilhan Omar.

Nicholas Haros Jr., of New Jersey, who lost his mother, Francis Haros, during the World Trade Center attack, took the stage under a t-shirt bearing the inscription "Some people have done something – a four-word favorite Republican attack on Omar, a first-year Democratic legislator.

Conservatives have said that Omar, who is a Muslim American, trivialized the September 11 attacks by using these words earlier this year.

"Today, I am here to answer you, exactly who did what to whom," said Haros in a thunderous applause. "We know who and what has been done, there is no uncertainty about it."

Haros also launched his attack against three other Democratic members of Congress known as "The Squad" – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley, all women of color -.

"Our constitutional freedoms have been attacked and the foundation of our nation on Judeo-Christian principles has been attacked," said Haros. "That's what some people have done – that's what we have now? We're here today, Congresswoman, to tell you, to you and to the team. who did what to whom. "

Speaking at a Council-sponsored event on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in March, Omar said the response to the September 11 attacks had unfairly tarnished millions of Muslims in America.

"Here's the truth: It's been too long since we live with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen and, frankly, I'm fed up, and every Muslim in this country should be fed up." CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people have done something and that we are all starting to lose access to our civil liberties, "Omar said.

"So, you can not just say that today somebody looks at me in a strange way and that I'm trying to make myself nice.You have to say that this person is looking at me in such a way Strangely, I'm not comfortable with that, and I'm going to talk to them and ask them why because it's the right you have. "

A representative from Omar could not be reached immediately for comment on Wednesday.

But earlier in the day, Omar "September 11th was an attack on all of us – we will never forget the thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the biggest terrorist attack on American soil."

Earlier in the ceremony on Wednesday, Debra Epps, sister of victim Christopher Samuel Epps, said of her brother: "Our family always thinks of you, we remind you in every aspect of our lives. . "

Epps then used its time to deplore the slow pace of gun control legislation since the attacks.

"In 18 years, you would think that we would have made changes to bring us more peace, but armed violence is widespread," she said. "And I hope today that legislation continues to go forward to ban guns … so that we can live in a world at peace and the land of the brave."

At the annual event in Lower Manhattan, relatives of those killed on September 11, 2001 read the names of some 3,000 people who lost their lives in coordinated attacks on the World Trade Center and the World Trade Center. Pentagon.

The terrorists hijacked planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon towers.

The United Airlines Flight 93 passengers fired back and the plane crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, before it could reach another target.
