House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday admitted that she does not know the content of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) recent remarks about 9/11 — despite offering a full-throated defense of the freshman congresswoman in the wake of criticism from President Donald Trump.

“I don’t think the congresswoman is anti-Semitic. I wouldn’t even put those in the same category,” Pelosi told interviewer Christiane Amanpour in Ireland. “We have no taint of that [anti-Semitism],” she added. “And just because they want to accuse somebody of that doesn’t mean that we take that bait.”

Pelosi also dismissed criticisms that she hasn’t done enough to defend Omar, conceding, “Until I talk to somebody, I don’t even know what was said.”

“I do know that what the president did was not right,” she added.

Omar is facing blowback for downplaying the September 11, 2001, terror attack, describing it last month private fundraiser for Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a day on which “some people did something,” before adding “and that all of us were starting to lose our civil liberties.”

In reaction to the Minnesota Democrat’s remarks, President Trump shared a video to social media of Omar’s remarks and scenes of the World Trade Center engulfed in flakes shortly after it was attacked by radical Islamic terrorists. The video’s caption reads: “WE WILL NEVER FORGET!”

Too Late Nancy! Not an Acceptable answer! What a typical liberal thing to say!

Partner, Nancy Pelousy can not even remember because she is going to be 80 years of age and we know she has the start of Alzheimer's or dementia or both.

Fungi: Re “This hapless fool needs to be in an institution for demented clowns”.

Well good buddy, got some news for you. She has been for much of her life - it is called Congress!

Bad news - nobody has put her in a straitjacket, duct-taped her mouth (just to be sure), and put her in a nice padded cell in the basement.

Good news - she is getting older and stupider by the day so maybe she’s be worm-food this year. She will not get a Catholic cross on her grave pit but probably a witch’s crowfoot cross covered in bat dung.
