Congress: Ilhan Omar urges Twitter to take down Trump‘s false tweet

In fact, the video accompanying the tweet of Omar dancing was from a Sept. 13 Congressional Black Caucus event. Omar later rebuked the president for his rhetoric and Twitter for failing to take down the post. “The President of the United States is continuing to spread lies that put my life at risk. What is Twitter doing to combat this misinformation?” she tweeted.

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed Williams has deleted his tweet, but the company did not comment on the president‘s post. Omar told POLITICO she‘s „still getting threats“ because of Trump‘s retweet.
