WH Defends Trump’s 9/11 Attack On Omar [VIDEO]

The Hill reports:

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Sunday that President Trump is not wishing “ill will” nor “violence toward anyone” after he tweeted a video showing images from the Sept. 11 attacks combined with remarks Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) gave at a recent speech.

“Certainly the president is wishing no ill will, and certainly not violence towards anyone,” Sanders said on ABC’s This Week. “But the president is absolutely and should be calling out the congresswoman for her not only one time but history of anti-Semitic comments,” she added.
