Reporter asks Rubio to delete tweet with edited video of his interview with Omar: 'Shame on you'

[JonLP24]

A reporter asked Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to delete a clip of a 2018 interview he did with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) that he said was "selectively-edited."

Rubio tweeted a clip of then-candidate Omar's interview with Al Jazeera that is missing a segment of her nuanced remarks, using them to call her racist against white people.

"Senator @marcorubio, will you delete this tweet and apologize? You’re sharing a selectively-edited video from my show @AJUpFront to make @IlhanMN look bad and increase the number of death threats she already gets. Shame on you," tweeted Mehdi Hasan, who conducted the interview with the freshman representative last year.
