Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar [Photo: Courtesy]Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Tuesday reached out to Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar over a tweet made by President Donald Trump following her 9/11 remarks. According to the Washington Post, Dorsey phoned Omar to explain why the tech giant was standing behind its decision not to remove Trump’s tweet that purported to depict the Rep. watering down the terror attacks. Sources told the Post that Dorsey explained to Omar that the tweet did not violate the company’s rules and that the video had also been shared to other platforms. A furious Omar is said to have demanded stringent measures that outrightly require removal of tweets that propagate hate and harassment. On April 12, Trump posted a video criticizing Omar's remarks at the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
