Fox’s Wallace not ‘comfortable’ playing full 9/11 video tweeted by Trump | TheHill – The Hill

Fox News’ Chris Wallace said Sunday that he was not “comfortable” playing the entirety of a video President TrumpDonald John TrumpWH spokesman: We’re working with DHS, ICE to try to send undocumented immigrants to sanctuary cities Trump says he has legal right to send undocumented immigrants to sanctuary cities Sanders calls on Trump to scrap his trade plan MORE tweeted Friday showing scenes from the 9/11 terrorist attack combined with remarks from Rep.

Wallace began playing the video before cutting it off.

“Now, that was the only five seconds we felt comfortable showing,” Wallace told White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “It goes on in a much worse way, of her seeming, no question about it, to minimize 9/11, and then horrible images from 9/11.”

“Why is the president comfortable putting out horrible images like that,” Wallace asked. “Does he worry at all about inciting violence against Muslims in general, or Ilhan Omar in specific?”

“Certainly nothing could be further from the truth,” Sanders responded. “The president is not trying to incite violence against anybody.”

The audio in the video was taken from a speaking event Omar did at the the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) last month, where she said “some people did something” in reference to the 9/11 attacks before explaining that some used the attack to advocate for taking away civil liberties from Muslim Americans.

Trump’s video immediately drew backlash from Democrats who said it was inciting violence against Omar.
