In a world where it feels like everyone has an opinion on every subject, silence can sometimes be more powerful than words.<\/p>\n

Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Michigan, and Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, reportedly had nothing to say on the 25th Anniversary of September 11, a curious choice for a pair that rarely finds themselves speechless on any matter.<\/p>\n

Some critics suggested that their silence was probably a good thing:<\/p>\n

\n

I would objectively call this a rare win for both. For once they knew when to shut up. Now deport them both before they say another word.<\/p>\n

Thank God they didn\u2019t. Worse than someone who hates the US is someone who hates it but pretends to care about it.<\/p>\n

Good, no one wants to hear her opinion on it. She has other problems to deal with right now.<\/p>\n

Any statements from her would have been offensive. Directly or through lying<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think her sympathetic statements would have been sincere, so just as well.<\/p>\n

Staying quiet on the 9\/11 anniversary was probably the smartest move available to her. I still can\u2019t picture a single thing Rashida Tlaib might have said that would have been an improvement on her silence. https:\/\/t.co\/pkIt97FOL2<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

This is because both Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are terrorist sympathizers who do not give two shits that Americans were killed. They do not belong in congress. https:\/\/t.co\/GuRzwynEnA<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

You can do an easy search for all who did not think it was worth a moment to RT something or voice their pain or anger or hope to memorialize and stand with all Americans on 9\/11.<\/p>\n

Their withholding is not passive it is active anti-American hatred.<\/p>\n

Omar\u2019s summation of 9\/11 as \u201csome people did something\u201d stands the test of time.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no real reason for her to elaborate further.<\/p>\n

I certainly understood her feelings on the matter. https:\/\/t.co\/b1YYLr3F3N<\/a><\/p>\n
