Kilmeade said on a "Fox & Friends" segment about the freshman Democrat that "you have to wonder if she's an American first." Fox News had no immediate comment about Kilmeade, the second Fox personality in a month to attract attention for comments about Omar. "I didn't intend to question whether Rep. Omar is an American," Kilmeade said via Twitter. "I am questioning how any American, let along a United States congresswoman, could downplay the 9/11 attacks." A spokesman for Omar did not immediately respond to questions about the criticism she has received about her reference to the attacks.
