Democrat Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal deleted a Sept. 11 tweet in which she counted the 19 Islamic terrorists in the victims of 9-11.
Here was her tweet:
Republican Congressman Chip Roy took notice, retweeting her message and saying:
“2,977 ‘were killed.’ The 19 terrorists killed them.”
What’s more, Jayapal deleted the tweet, essentially acknowledging the error. But this was the second year in a row she had posted the message.
