A number of prominent Democrats have condemned President Donald Trump for quoting Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) dismissive description of the 9/11 terrorist attacks while at the same time, not disavowing the content of their colleague’s remarks.

On April 12, Trump posted a video that spliced news footage of 9/11 with a speech Omar gave last month where she described the attacks as “some people did something.”
