White House denies Trump inciting violence against Muslim lawmaker vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Donald Trump’s spokeswoman Sarah Sanders defended the president Sunday against accusations that he was inciting violence toward a Muslim congresswoman after he tweeted a video of her spliced with footage of the 9/11 attacks.The White House’s decision to double down on Ilhan Omar came as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the country’s most powerful Democrat, said she had spoken to authorities about her colleague’s safety and urged Trump to delete the clip.
The clip, which had been viewed more than 9.4 million times as of Sunday afternoon, ends with the words: “SEPTEMBER 11 2001 WE REMEMBER.” But, she added: “It’s absolutely abhorrent the comments she continues to make and has made and look the other way. “Following the president’s tweet, I spoke with the sergeant-at-arms to ensure that Capitol Police are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Congresswoman Omar, her family and her staff,” she said.
