"Certainly President is wishing no ill will, certainly not violence towards anyone," Sanders told broadcaster ABC News'"This Week" show."But the President is absolutely and should be calling out the congresswoman for her, not only one-time, but history of antisemitic comments," she said. On Saturday, Trump tweeted a video suggesting that Omar, a U.S. representative from Minnesota, had been dismissive of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The video spliced news footage of 9/11 with a clip from a speech Omar gave last month in which she described the attack as"some people did something."
