Trump tweets spliced together video of Ilhan Omar and 9/11

[B-Dubs]

While we don't shield public figures or politicians from criticism, this particular campaign is transparently motivated by bigotry. Please treat this incident as separate and distinct incident and do not attempt to rationalize the bigoted attacks here by referring to past incidents. Such posts will be moderated as victim blaming.

This Staff Post has been edited to be clearer.

The previous Staff Post was not meant to prevent people from criticizing anyone's response to past incidents. Its purpose was to make clear that using past criticisms of Congresswoman Omar to rationalize why she is been attacked here will be met with moderation, as this is quite transparently motivated by bigotry. The broader political context can still be discussed. Our Staff Post was never meant to prevent discussion on that, and has now been edited to be clearer.

If you have any further questions, please reach out directly to staff.
