Did U.S. Representative-Elect Ilhan Omar Say ‘White Men Should Be Put in Chains’?

#CAIR Islamophobia Watch: FACT CHECK: Did U.S. Representative-Elect Ilhan Omar Say 'White Men Should Be Put in Chains'?
However, we found no record of Omar’s ever having called for white men to be bound in chains or enslaved for refusing to convert to Islam (or of her making any other remotely similar statement) — not in the July 2017 Daily Show interview, or in the September 2017 Time magazine interview which was the source of the photograph used in the meme, or anywhere else.
The second quotation is no more or less than a malicious, Islamophobic fabrication which could stoke fear or anger against Omar and other Muslims in the United States.
