President Donald Trump used Twitter to target Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Friday for remarks she made during a speech on Muslim civil rights last month. Trump tweeted an incendiary video that took clips from the speech out of context and interlaced them with news footage of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. “The memory of 9/11 is sacred ground, and any discussion of it must be done with reverence,” Pelosi tweeted. The offices of those Democratic leaders did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment about Trump’s tweet. A spokesperson for Pelosi told HuffPost on Friday that the speaker “left a message for Rep. Omar to discuss,” but wouldn’t comment further.
