White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said President Donald Trump intended no harm against Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) with his post on Twitter underlining Omar’s comments downplaying the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She was responding to criticism from Democrats, including presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke, who said the tweet was an “incitement to violence” against Omar.
“Certainly, the president is wishing no ill will, and certainly not violence, towards anyone,” Sanders told ABC News’ “This Week” on April 14. “But the President is absolutely and should be calling out the congresswoman for her, not only one-time, but history of antisemitic comments,” she said.
