On Friday, a poster showing a photograph of the World Trade Center under attack on 9/11 above a photograph of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was on display at a booth sponsored by the West Virginia GOP.

The caption on the WTC photo said: “Never forget – you said. . .” The caption on the photograph of Omar said, “I am the proof – you have forgotten.”

According to NBC News, the state Republican party allegedly set up the display, which quite frankly, sounds like an odd thing for them to have done. They reported that the display was set up as part of “WV GOP Day,” which the party advertised on Facebook as a day when “Republicans Take the Rotunda.”

Reaction to the poster was exactly as one would expect. Tempers were running high. The local newspaper reported that one delegate “kicked open a door, injuring a doorkeeper. And the House Sergeant-at-arms resigned, after another delegate accused her of saying “all Muslims are terrorists.”

Del. Mike Pushkin (D) spoke to reporters on the House floor. He said:

It’s ugly, it’s hateful and there’s absolutely no place for it in American politics. Not in the country that I love. Not in the state that I love. We all give up our time during this time of year to come up here and serve our constituents because we love this state. Well, I love everybody in the state no matter what they look like, who they pray to, who they love. I’m tired of it. It disgusts me. I’m proud to live in a country that somebody can come into this country with absolutely nothing and wind up in the halls of Congress representing the state of Minnesota.
