Writing on Twitter, Trump blasted both Omar and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for defending Omar after he tweeted a video on Friday suggesting Omar had been dismissive of the Sept 11, 2001, attacks. “She is out of control, except for her control of Nancy!” Omar’s and Pelosi’s offices had no comment on Monday. The video tweeted by Trump spliced news footage of 9/11 with a clip from a speech Omar gave last month in which she said“some people did something” in reference to the attacks. Later on Monday, Trump plans to visit a trucking company in Burnsville, Minnesota, about 15 miles (24 km) outsideMinneapolis. Omar was speaking at a CAIR banquet in California in March when she made her controversial remarks about 9/11.
