probably true. But if all someone saw is that she said "somebody did something" without hearing anything else, it can come across as her marginalizing 9/11 whether someone is her opponent or not. As an elected representative I think she has an obligation to be clearer in the words she chooses to express herself. I feel the same way about any elected official regardless of whether I agree with them or not. It is one of my biggest issues with Mr Trump. In my view he does not express himself very well. I still would not agree with the vast majority of what he says, but if he at least expressed himself with dignity and clarity, it would not bother me as much. If you feel different about what Omar said, that is your opinion, and you are entitled to feel that way, just as I am entitled to feel the way I feel.
So if anyone one saw the edited 20 second clip of a 20 minute speech....ffs.
First of all, how many Americans do you think actually watched the whole 20 minute speech? I'd be willing to bet a minority of them. Most of them probably saw the 20 second clip. What I have been saying (and I don't think I will say it again after this) is that Omar is an public person and she should choose her words more carefully, regardless of what she meant when she said them. That is all I have been saying. She should choose her words with a little more care.
