Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York mayor and now President Trump’s attorney, shared a misleading video clip on Twitter late Thursday night that has spread on right-wing conspiracy sites claiming that Rep. Ilhan Omar took classes on terrorism. In retweeting the video, Giuliani, who was mayor during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, wrote: “What is she laughing at in recalling her terrorism classes? I am the proof — you have forgotten.”[Fox News bumps ‘Judge Jeanine’ after remarks about Rep. Omar’s hijab. In the undated video, Omar, who is a Somali refu­gee, talks about her time at college and says, “I took a short terrorism class.” The interviewer laughs and asks if there were field trips involved. “Retweet @Ilhan CAUGHT ON TAPE laughing without empathy on taking terrorism classes,” McGee wrote.
