WATCH CLIP EVER ON C-SPAN.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS A
PROBLEM.
CONGRESSWOMAN KNOWN FOR MAKING
AND I SEMITISM COMMENTS.
DOWNPLAYING THE TERROR ATTACKS.
>> IT WAS FOUNDED AFTER 9/11.
BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZE THAT SOME
PEOPLE DID SOMETHING AND THAT
ALL OF US WERE STARTING TO LOSE
ACCESS TO OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES.
JESSE: THE NEW YORK POST
BLASTING OMAR.
HERE IS THURSDAY'S FRONT COVER.
SOME RADICAL COHORTS ARE
DEFENDING HER.
>> THIS IS JUST PURE RACIST ACTS
BY MANY OF THOSE HATEFUL BECAUSE
SHE DOES SPEAK TRUTH.
>> WE ARE GETTING TO A LEVEL
WHERE THIS IS AGAINST
PROGRESSIVE WOMEN OF COLOR.
JESSE: REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN
DAN CRENSHAW ALSO SOUNDING OFF
AGAINST OMAR TWEETING THIS.
>> 1st MEMBER OF CONGRESS TO
EVER DESCRIBE TERRORISTS WHO
KILLED THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS ON
9/11 AS SOME PEOPLE WHO DID
SOMETHING.
UNBELIEVABLE..
JESSE: COMING TO HER DEFENSE
WITH THIS RESPONSE.
YOU REFUSED TO COSPONSOR THE
9/11 DEMS FUND BUT YOU HAVE THE
IDENTITY TO DRUM AGAINST THE
LAWN WAS OUT OF QUOTES.
WHEN THEY WERE BEHIND ALMOST ALL
DOMESTIC TERRORIST KILLINGS.
WHY DON'T YOU GO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT.
CONGRESSMAN DAN CRENSHAW JOINS
ME NOW.
JESSE: I'M ALMOST AT A LOSS FOR
WORDS CONGRESSMAN.
WE CAN JUST TAKE THIS ONE AT A
TIME.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND TO
AOC SAYING THAT YOU NEED TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
YOU DID LOSE YOUR EYE PROTECTING
HER FIGHTING OVERSEAS FOR YOUR O
HER FIGHTING OVERSEAS FOR YOUR R
COUNTRY.
>> IT IS ALMOST NOT WORTH
RESPONDING TO.
BUT LET THEM PRACTICE.
SHE THINKS COSPONSORING -- WHICH
IS NOT A COMMITTEE DEFENDING
9/11 VICTIMS.
LAST I CHECKED, I THOUGHT I DID
DEFEND 9/11 VICTIMS, I WENT
OVERSEAS AND TRY TO MAKE SURE
THE ATTACK NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN.
AND MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE FIGHT
TO THE ENEMIES THAT COMMITTED
IT.
IS NOT JUST HER, IT'S HER
COUNTERPART OR STU.
THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD DOUBLE
DOWN ON THIS AND TRY TO PROVIDE
COVER FOR OMAR WHEN ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS SAY HEY, SHE MISSPOKE,
MAYBE SHE DID NOT MEAN AT THAT
WEEP.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY THAT.
JESSE: ALL SHE HAD TO SAY WAS
PERHAPS MY LANGUAGE WAS A LITTLE
TOO IMPRECISE.
I KNOW THAT 3000 PEOPLE DIED ON
THAT HORRIBLE DAY AND THOUGH
SOME PEOPLE WERE RADICAL AL
QAEDA TERRORIST WHO WE HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO BRING TO JUSTICE.
SHE DOES NOT DO THAT.
SHE DOUBLES DOWN WITH THIS
TWEET.
LOOK WHAT SHE TWEETED ABOUT
THIS.
THIS IS FROM THE OTHER DAY.
THE PEOPLE WHO KNOCKED THESE BIG
BUILDINGS DOWN WILL HEAR ALL OF
US SOON.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, WAS
PUSHED DOWNPLAYING THE TERROR
ATTACKS?
WHAT IF HE WAS A MUSLIM?
GEORGE W. BUSH WENT TO GROUND
ZERO WHEN THEY WERE STILL SMOKE
UP THERE AND WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
WAS AL QAEDA.
AND HE SAID THEY BROUGHT THESE
BUILDINGS DOWN AND HE WENT IN TO
AFGHANISTAN AND HE DID SOMETHING
ABOUT IT.
WHAT IS SHE DOING?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK SHE NEEDS TO HIRE A
DIFFERENT DIRECTOR.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE IS
GETTING OUT WITH A PARTICULAR
TREE.
AGAIN, THERE'S TOO MUCH
MATERIAL.
JESSE: I DON'T LIKE THE FACT
THAT THEY TRIED TO USE HER
GENDER OR MUSLIM FAITH OR RACE
AS A SHIELD.
SHE SAYS WHATEVER SHE WANTS, IT
IS CRAZY, AND COMPLETELY
IRRESPONSIBLE FOR SITTING MEMBER
OF CONGRESS.
THE MINUTE YOU CRITICIZE HER,
SHE SAYS YOU'RE ATTACKING ME
BECAUSE I'M A MUSLIM OR WOMAN,
OR BLACK.
>> THIS IS THE WORST KIND OF
ARGUMENTATION.
WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THEY'RE
TRYING TO SILENCE ANY ARGUMENT
AGAINST IT.
WHY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE AN
ARGUMENT TO MAKE.
WHAT THEY DO THEY USE IDENTITY
TO SILENCE ANYONE ELSE FROM
SAYING ANYTHING.
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT
BECAUSE OF WHO I AM.
SORRY, NO THAT IS NOT HOW THINGS
WORK IN A DEMOCRACY.
ESPECIALLY AMONG MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DEBATE IDEAS.
IF YOU SAY SOMETHING WE SHOULD
CALL IT OUT.
THAT IS THE POINT OF THIS.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE ELECTED.
TO SAY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO
TALK ABOUT SOMETHING BECAUSE OF
IDENTITIES IS NONSENSE.
IT IS ALSO BIGOTED IN ITSELF
BECAUSE YOUR ASSUMING THE
EVERYBODY OF THE CERTAIN SICK
CAN COLOR AND GENDER SHOULD
THINK A CERTAIN WAY.
THAT IS REALLY WRONG.
THE CONTENT OF YOUR CHARACTER IS
WHAT MATTERS.
THE IDEAS THAT YOU HAVE.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE
DEBATING.
JESSE: BECAUSE IF THAT
CONGRESSMAN OR WOMEN SAID THE
EXACT SAME THING THAT SHE SAID
AND IT WAS A STRAIGHT WHITE
MALE, WE WOULD STILL BE SAYING,
DO NOT SAY THAT, WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT
SHE LOOKS LIKE.
IT'S WHAT COMES OUT OF HER
MOUTH.
SHE'S THREE MONTHS IN AND CAUSED
A HUGE HEADACHE FOR NANCY
PELOSI.
THAT IS FUN TO WATCH.
BUT BESIDES THAT --
>> POLICY IS A COSPONSOR ON A
BILL THAT I MENTIONED.
[LAUGHTER]
IS NONSENSE OF COURSE.
JESSE: THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR
