The son of a Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack victim said people had criticized him, calling him a racist, after he blasted Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) during his speech at the 18th-anniversary memorial service of the attacks at Ground Zero yesterday.

Nicholas Haros Jr. attracted the media’s attention when he delivered pointed criticism to the freshman congresswoman for her “some people did something” remarks. Omar had been heavily criticized for using those words to describe the deadliest terrorist attacks in American history that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent people.
