Ilhan Omar demands Twitter CLOSE Donald Trump's account

Ilhan Omar demands Twitter CLOSE Donald Trump's account after he retweets conspiracy theorist's false claim that she 'partied' on 9/11 anniversary and refuses to delete it

  • President Trump retweeted a conspiracy theorist's claim that Rep. Ilhan Omar danced at a party on the night of the 9/11 attack's anniversary
  • That's not true: Omar and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus were filmed dancing at a party on Friday night, September 13
  • But Trump amplified Terrence Williams' claim, tweeting that Omar and her supposed anti-American views 'will win us the Great State of Minnesota'
  • Friday's party was part of an annual week-long Congressional Black Caucus celebration
  • Photos shot Friday night show Omar and other black lawmakers wearing the same outfits they wore in the video footage of the dance party
  • Williams later deleted his tweet, following a pressure campaign directed at Twitter, but the president hasn't removed his promotion of it 
  • Now Omar says Twitter should shut down Trump's account: 'I don't even know why his account is not fully suspended – why he's not deplatformed'

Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar said Wednesday that Twitter should shut down President Donald Trump's account because he hasn't deleted his retweet of a conspiracy theorist's false claim that she 'partied' on the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks last week.
Trump circulated that claim Wednesday morning – leaving it up despite right-wing commentator Terrence Williams deleting his original message, which included footage of Omar dancing at a party on a different night. 
'They have a responsibility and they set community standards and clearly the president has shown many-a-times that he has violated their community standards,' Omar told Politico.
'I don't even know why his account is not fully suspended – why he's not deplatformed.' 
Williams had blasted the false claim to his 611,000 Twitter followers, saying: ''GET THIS WOMAN OUT OF OFFICE. Ilhan Omar partied on the anniversary of 9/11 because she believes "Some People Just Did Somethings".' [sic]

Bernie Sanders Won America’s Largest Arab Community by Being Open to Them  .. .. Bernie Sanders’ upset in the Michigan primary Tuesday can be attributed, in part, to a strong showing in Dearborn, Michigan, which has the  largest concentration of Arab Americans  in the nation. Sanders  won almost 60 percent of the vote  there, besting rival Hillary Clinton. Apparently, something about Sanders resonated with residents. “Believing in something unpopular and fighting for those things is true courage and bravery. I feel personally connected to his message of humanism and peace,” Mason Hinawi, a high school student and first-time Dearborn Heights voter, told  The Intercept  about his support for Sanders. “I know a lot of Muslim people my age also taken by his message of peace and his welcoming tone.” An  analysis  by the Dearborn-based  Arab American News  showed that heavily populated Arab neighborhoods in the city went overwhelmingly for Sanders — 210 to 101 in Southern Sali
