Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) didn’t get her way after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey called her to let her know that the company would not remove a tweet from President Trump featuring a video of her casually dismissing the 9/11 terrorist attack as “some people did something.”

Dorsey called Omar on Tuesday to discuss the tweet after Omar claimed she received a flood of death threats in response.
When the Somali-born Muslim Rep. pressed Dorsey on why the tweet wasn’t removed, Dorsey said that Trump’s tweet didn’t violate the company rules, according to the Washington Post.
Dorsey also pointed to the fact that the tweet and video already had been viewed and shared far beyond the site, one of the sources said. But the Twitter executive did tell Omar that the tech giant needed to do a better job generally in removing hate and harassment from the site, according to the two people familiar with the call. -Washington Post
Two days after Trump’s tweet, Omar said she had experienced an “increase in direct threats on my life — many directly referencing or replying to the president’s video.”
Twitter confirmed that the Tuesday call too place, telling the Post “During their conversation, [Dorsey] emphasized that death threats, incitement to violence, and hateful conduct are not allowed on Twitter,” adding “We’ve significantly invested in technology to proactively surface this type of content and will continue to focus on reducing the burden on the individual being targeted. Our team has also consistently been in touch with Rep. Omar’s office.”
Dorsey reached out to Omar the same day that he met with Trump in the Oval Office, after he accepted the president’s invitation. Trump is said to have spent much of the meeting discussing his concerns that Twitter is deliberately targeting and removing his followers, according to the Post.

Maybe she wouldn’t receive death threats if she wasn’t constantly berating America!! I don’t approve of death threats. This woman was allowed to become an American citizen (and given all the advantages of it) and voted into Congress to stand up for and defend the rights of we-the-people…….not spread hate and venom in favor of terrorists and American haters.
She was put in this position to mock America by the democrats who would kill their mothers to get Trump out of office.
Absolutely!!
She needs to keep her anti-American and anti-Semitic remarks to herself. If this is such a bad country I’m sure Somalia would take her back.
And don’t let the door hit ya in the booty on the way out … Sistah!
Carol. Omar has put herself in a position where our laws could in fact have her impeached and deported. She is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Somalia. Being a U.S. Citizen doesn’t protect her when she knowingly and willingly supports known terrorist organizations like CAIR and the Hamas. It is plain Congress is ignoring this and rue the day they did not take action to at least kick her out of our Congress.
AMEN!!!!!NW
so true
Amen to that!
Agree!!
Poor, poor Omar. She got exactly what SHE ASKED FOR! She needs to back us, not the terrorists.
She is a terrorist
CORRECT, but omar is a verbal terrorist not the traditional physical terrorist.
EITHER WAY, people are killed.
there is no difference!
As far as I’m concerned, Omar is not an American citizen. Her rhetoric and hate for everyone not Muslim shows. I believe she is a threat to national security, and should be removed from office. If she is a citizen, then her citizenship should be revoked. There’s enough idiots in DC making laws and wasting tax payer monies without having a terrorist spy setting with them.
Right on!!!!
she is too stupid! she is on some other A$%HO&E Pay roll to disrupt AMERICA.
When you move into the public field, make inflammatory statements, criticize a Nation you swore to uphold and defend, what are you actually trying to accomplish? She continues to use her position to attack this Nation and push her Islamist agenda. To me it is sedation and treasonous behavior and the PC folk better not try to spin this. She is the racist and bringer of contemptuous speech. She should hope these are merely “threats” and not promises. When she engages in this behavior, she should expect an equal and opposite action from people with the same right as she has, granted by the Constitution.
It’s “sedition” not “sedation”. Although “sedation” for Omar is not a bad idea!
You made my Day!!! God Bless Our Nation and All she stands for!!!
LOL!! RIGHT !
Donna could not have said it better.
So too is the post by Dav Sharp.
Both have expressed their views which I’m sure many silent Americans agree with.
Truly there is no need for death threats. If you hate America and our only democratic ally in the Middle East, why don’t you resign you and all of your other socialist friends and just leave America. Surely we have enough problems than to keep importing more, these are the things that tear at the fabric of this country. Know this to make America great again does not mean the spirit of happy days, got that. We were once the leader in manufacturing, energy production a nation that reverence the GOD of the Bible and a love for our nation. We don’t need this globalism craziness.
Amen! You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT !
Really….!!!!! Why is this Soma-liar born camel flea still on American soil she hates so much. Send her back. BUT WAIT….it is not going to happen because the democratic house have to milk this raghead first before they toss her. Isn’t that how the democrats usually work.
It is unfortunate that our government has seen fit to allow many millions of people into our country who do not wish to assimilate —- and many who actually hate our country. Minnesota has a large enclave of these American Constitutional haters and it is the only reason she is in office. 9/11 did not work out so well for them so why not try a different approach —— civilization jehad.
& There ARE Millions here..The Welcoming IN of Illegals by the Millions is one thing, But what Obummer did during his Entire 8 Long Years, was Fly Them IN< bus them Across All States , Telling Our Governors they could NOT know the #'s or the Areas they were Dropped off in..This is FACT..he Did this for 8 Years. He "PLACED" them in Areas where they had a large population already like..Dearborn Michigan, Many Areas in PA, actually, Every State but larger of course in MN, MI, PA & Few others..This is HOW The Dems, the LEFT are getting Their "T's & Activists In Positions".. Population "Majority" is there For Their "Choice". Think Ocasio or any of Them got iN With Large Actual #'s of Voters Voting for them?? Look up the #'s, it's Clear..Just as clear as where the Groups of Illegals End Up in Every State.
Obummer is a Muslim idiot too !!!
Agree w you! She is dangerous!
Omar only received death threats, hundreds of Christians in Sri Lanka received death from muslim vermin. I wonder what she thinks about that?
Absolutely CORRECT !!!!!
Two forms of Muslims in America. Those who say “Don’t blame us for the actions of a few crazies.” Second are those who say this but in private also say they understand, admire or wish to give passive support to the radicals.” Wake up America! We have an enemy from within attempting to use our customs and laws against us. Their objective is to make Islam predominant and to demonize any critique of Islam.
Hatred and contempt for others with different views is like the measles — it spreads and infects more and more people and makes them miserable and unhappy. Most of the folks on this page are infected. Best wishes for your recovery. You could start by reflecting that Rep Omar was trying to make a point about treatment of Muslims, not dismissing or justifying the 9/11 attack, and you could try to understand what she was saying.
HA HA HA HA HA You are an IDIOT!!!
You must be a DUMORAT muslim!
FACTS are that muslim females are empty headed……..Guess that is what the DEMS/RINOS love about them……MUSLIM brains are missing when they are born………..HISPANICS are the same…………no brains……….
LOL!! RIGHT ON !
WHEN WILL U PEOPLE LEARN SHE DOESN’T WANT TO FIT IN SHE IS TRYING TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY I DON’T WHO CAN DO IT, BUT WE NEED TO SEND HER BACK TO SAMOLIA SPELLED WRONG SO ANGRY I CAN’T SPELLI SAY LETS TAKE IT IN OUR HANDS TO GET RID OF THE 5 THAT COMPILE THE MUSLIMS IN OUR CONGRESS GET RID OF THEM OR THERE IS GOING TO BE A WAR AND THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT
You are right on !
Interesting indeed the only reason she was elected was the simple fact the last administration resettled 50,000 a hole muslims to the district she is in
now that she is in federal government she is attempting to bring muslim law here and the American people will allow it
she needs to have her citizenship removed and all these hate America idiots shipped back to their respective countries
Yes, and we have some here in my state that were caught smuggling weapons to terrorists !
Not just her, but the majority of the Democratic party spread hate, incite violence and resistance to all things related to or pertaining to Trump, his family, supporters, Republicans, conservative, and Christians every single day we read anything or listen to the news which are all more opinion than fact. It’s becoming a tight-knit clear and evident canyon of sides in this country all the time. And all because the left didn’t get their way, their candidate and all their preferences. Not to say of course that Obama wasn’t already creating the divide with his Muslim love and American disrespect, divisive speeches on all police and not just indicating specific wrong-doers wearing a badge, and denigrating Christianity with every opportunity, as well as disrespecting this country and it’s flag. So she can suck-it-up like the rest of us have had to with what all we don’t like. Guess your for guns protecting you now, huh?
If you rewrote your contribution and substituted “Republican” for “Democratic” it would make just as much sense. Yes, we do have a “canyon” of division to deal with. When are we going to start building a bridge across?
Yes, old blue. I agree
No! Terry had it right !
Absolutely !
The Muslim terrorist should fear for her life! She hates America and we pay her a $174,000 yearly salary! WE ARE NUTS!
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT !
Hey omar go back to Somali you muslim lowlife your a Hater scumbag liberal clown puppet who is irrelevant to the American people.
She comes from a country where she had no rights to a country that saved her ass and now she is trying like hell to take away the rights of the people and country that saved her. Get her out if here, along with Talib, and that other little nut AOC! Out of congress, out of the country, and revoke citizenship!!
Amen !
It absolutely boggles my mind that she was voted into office. Once a Muslim always a Muslim. They want nothing more than Sharia Law to dominate the world and they will slaughter innocent men, women and children to accomplish that goal as we have seen demonstrated hundreds of times.
It is SATAN’S RELIGION !!!!
Maybe if she didn’t shill for terrorists and terrorist organizations we would be concerned. She admitted she prefers terrorists to patriotic Americans.
Good dont take anything down if she has , are and will receive death threats is because she asked for it by having the guts to make negative comments about the people that open their home door for her to have a better life , so if you dont like it think before you open your venomous mouth and live congress as I know you will never be real citizen of this country you hypocrit hateful extremist muslim piece of shit.
Absolutely CORRECT ! RIGHT ON !!
Muslims only come to this country because they want to implement sharia law not to fit in and become an American!!
Absolutely!
Expel and deport w entire family, Fake
husband too
Left actions are threats to POTUS and
family
He is such a sleeze and it is really disheartening to see how many posters are believing the mis-representation of her words. You believe the babbling of a pres who cannot form a complete sentence and just hate, as you are told. There just isnt a free-thinking republican left in this country. If I had to choose a party, it would not be R, I will not lower my standards.
Yes to sara palmer
NO TO SARAH PALMER !!!! SHE IS A TYPICAL DUMBORAT !!! SHE NEEDS TO GET EDUCATED !!!
These COCKROACHES are NESTING. Call “Billy the Exterminator”
A women who marries her own brother so he to live in the land of the free to continue putting down Our Country has no place in Our Country. I’d be happy to give them a airplane ticket back to Where she belongs.
Dorsey is scared hitless of Trump. If he fiddles with Trump’s tweets he knows there will be a reckoning not from Trump, but millions of his supporters.
This anti-American bitch isn’t gonna tell anybody what to do in this country.
The tweet had nothing to do with increased threats - it’s what keeps coming out of her mouth that is so offensive and hateful.
United States has no backbone No one’s going to remove this bitch . The US keeps taking this crap from foreigners not even from this country.What proof do you need when you see how many illegals pouring into our country and nothing is being done.
Her comments are encouraging terrorist by making it known that they have a supporter in the AMERICAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. She is a vocal terrorist demeaning AMERICA, THE ONLY REASON THAT SHE GOT ELECTED IS BECAUSE HER DISTRIC HAS A LARGE MUSLIM POPULATION. She is more ANTI-AMERICA the the rest of the DumbocRARic Party put together.
DITCH THE BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ilhan Omar’s alliances are NOT for America BUT for El Shabaab in Somalia. She as many radical orthodox Muslims around the world see 9/11 as Eid Al Kufar - a day of Islamic Victory of defeating America. This comes from the Quranic Text Surah Al Rum 30:1-12 talking about the Romans being defeated. Here is here theological reasons for what she said about 9/11 being unpatriotic: September 11 Victory Day Explanation of Surah 30
The Following Surah 30:1-12 is the prophetic fulfillment of the Qur’an spoken by the Prophet (PBUH) nearly 1400 years ago giving birth to Eid al Kufr the day of the defeated unbelievers in America and the West. Just know this is a day of rejoicing to take the spoils of America by Da’wah and convert the people to say the Shahada and perform Salah.
The Qur’an also goes further within 50 days by October 30 to fulfill the claiming of the spoils. This day is called Eid Al Anfal which is fulfilled in Surahs 8 & 9 with prophetic instructions to make the unbelievers accept the faith first by Da’wah. IF not then Jihad may be necessary to convince them to convert and believe.
The Qur’an in its fullness really means to say in Surah 2:257 that there IS compulsion in religion, Because of the abrogation of the former revelation to Muhammad (PBUH) at Mecca by the revelation at Madinah.
AGREED !!
Omar was voted in to represent her gerrymandered district. Not a district filled with people you would think would be grateful for a safe place to live, but are not. 9-11 was “some people who did something”. Amazing.
