    Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) attends a Youth Climate Strike on March 15 in Washington. On Thursday, the <em>New York Post</em> incited criticism by featuring a partial quote by Omar with an image of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

    The New York Post is facing a barrage of criticism after its cover on Thursday featured an image of the World Trade Center, burning in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, below a terse quote by one of the first Muslim women serving in Congress.
