The tabloids in the greatest city in America love naughty title sheets. What is the “New York Post” continued on Thursday on its front page, however, was a real provocation: they showed the Explosion of the second passenger jets during the impact of the World Trade Center on September 11. September 2001 and continued on a statement made by the Muslim members of the Congress Ilhan Omar.
The Somalia-born, and in autumn to the house of representatives elected Democrat, was quoted a Phrase from a sentence, the you in March in Los Angeles in front of the Council for American-Islamic relations (CAIR) had formulated. CAIR was founded after 9/11, claimed Omar, “because you realized that a few people did something and we began to all have access to our citizens lose freedoms.”
The title page of the “New York Post” of Thursday.
In bold letters wrote the Post about the photo of the burning twin towers: “Here is your something – 2977 people dead due to terrorism.” The newspaper was outraged by Omar’s belittling of the worst attack on the continental United States in their history had experienced.
war veterans, Republicans and, of course, President Donald Trump joined in the Protest. “We will never forget!”, Trump wrote in large letters on a Video-Tweet Clips from Omar’s speech with scenes of the terrorist attack against cut. “You have not all cups in the cupboard,” said the Ex-Governor, Chris Christie. to rügen
Instead of the 37-Year-old, went party friends of the Democrat, the newspaper. Rashida Tlaib, in addition to Omar, the only other Muslim woman in Congress, called the cover a “purely racist act.” The third in the Trio of the research young Representatives, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, spoke of “incitement to violence against progressive women of color”.
The three Democrats wanted to point the Finger at alleged Islamophobia, even though Omar had triggered with your characterization of 9/11, the indignation wave itself. Encouraged by the expressions of solidarity, said on Wednesday proudly: “We are here, to be silent.”

Because it would be in the election year 2020, a successful strategy is Omar even for some Democrats, safe for all Republicans, the most hated woman in America. (Sunday newspaper)
