It appears that the growing feud between President Trump and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) isn't going anywhere.

On Friday, Trump, relying on implicit context, posted a video of graphic footage from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on his Twitter feed, which was viewed as a response to previous comments made by Omar about the attacks. Omar was specifically criticized for what some believed were comments that downplayed the tragedy of Sept. 11.

Omar, responded to Trump's video in turn on Saturday. The congresswoman did not mention Trump by name, but there was little doubt that she was referring to the president when she tweeted that "no one person" can "threaten" her "unwavering love for America.

On Sunday, the debate continued with others weighing in. Unsurprisingly, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the president while appearing on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. She dismissed the notion that he was inciting violence, as Democratic presidential Beto O'Rourke argued. She added that it "it's a good thing" that Trump is calling out Omar's "absolutely disgraceful comments."

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) also appeared on This Week and took the time to defend Omar. The congressman called Trump's attacks "simplisitic," and said that he found nothing wrong with Omar's comments.

On CNN's State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) went a step further than Thompson and argued that Trump has no right to take the moral high ground when it comes to Sept. 11. Nadler said that in the aftermath of the attacks Trump "stole" grant money that could have helped a small business rehabilitate, but instead used the federal money for his own business means.
