A poster connecting Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar to the Sept. 11 terror attacks sparked a chaotic scene at the West Virginia statehouse on Friday, where lawmakers got into heated arguments and one staffer was injured, a report said.
The poster showing the Democratic congresswoman next to the Twin Towers exploding into flames was part of a display for “WV GOP Day,” according to WVNews.
“’Never forget’ —you said….” read the caption of the image with Omar, a Muslim, in her hijab. “I am the proof — you have forgotten.” Omar is a Somalian refugee and one of the first two Muslim women sworn into Congress this year.
Several Democratic lawmakers condemned the sign, with one delegate calling it ”ugly and “hateful.”
Republicans argued that the poster was a “freedom of speech” issue.GO READ THE WHOLE THING.
Here's the truth: We have no idea who designed and hung this poster? This could be another Fake "Hate Crime".
And who are the Republicans rushing to defend it as Free Speech? None are quoted.
Then again, First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
