Trump Retweets False Attack on Rep. Omar

President Donald Trump retweeted a post by comedian Terrence K. Williams that wrongly purports to show Rep. Ilhan Omar “partying” and “celebrating” on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The video was actually from a Congressional Black Caucus event on Sept. 13.

The video posted by Williams, an actor, comedian and conservative commentator, shows Omar laughing and dancing in a crowd to the song “Truth Hurts” by Lizzo.

Williams claimed in his post that the video shows Omar “celebrating” and “partying” on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, in three locations: the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Virginia and a plane crash site in Pennsylvania. Williams said it shows Omar is not on “our side.”
