The remarks came after O'Rourke faced criticism for not directly defending Omar by name in an earlier disavowal.
During the tail-end of a campaign event in South Carolina on Saturday, former Congressman and current presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke joined a chorus of other politicians slamming President Donald Trump for “inciting violence” against Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The remarks also came after O'Rourke faced criticism for not directly defending Omar by name when he tweeted on Friday,"We are stronger than this president’s hatred and Islamophobia. Do not let him drive us apart or make us afraid." Despite the immediate uproar over the tweet, Trump pinned the Sept. 11 video to the top of his Twitter profile to ensure that it's the first thing users see when they visit his page.
Also on Saturday, Nancy Pelosi released a statement that didn't mention Omar by name but criticized Trump's attempts to use the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to score political points.
