During a press conference featuring the 4 members of “the Squad” Ilhan Omar was asked to respond to Trump’s claim she supports al Qaeda.
Omar did not answer and refused to condemn al Qaeda.
Instead she answered “It’s beyond time to ask Muslims to condemn terrorists, we are no longer going to allow the dignification of such ridiculous, ridiculous statements.”

President Trump was likely referring to a video while Omar appeared “giddy” while discussing Al-Qaeda.
WATCH:
Ilhan Omar giddily discussing Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah.
