The New York Post used its Thursday edition cover to call out the controversial and dismissive comments about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks made by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
The cover shows a photo of the second American Airlines jet crashing into the World Trade Center.
“Rep. Ilhan Omar: 9/11 was ‘some people did something,'” the headline reads. “Here’s your something: 2,977 people dead by terrorism.”

The bottom of the cover refers to story on pages 4 and 5 with a tease: “Omar outraged the families of 9/11 victims by referring dismissively to the terrorist attacks while speaking to a Muslim lobbying group.”
Omar’s controversial remarks about the terrorists who killed roughly 3,000 people in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks were made at an appearance before a Muslim advocacy lobbying group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, last month. The Minnesota lawmaker referred to the terrorists as “some people” who “did something.”
“CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties,” Omar said at the event.
