EXCERPT:

AMANPOUR: "I just want to move again to the anti-Semitism route, because it's not just happening in the U.K. and Labor Party but it's happening actually in the United States right now. Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota has come under fierce criticism, including from within your own party but certainly from the Republican Party. The president has tweeted against her suggesting that, you know, that some sort of linkage with this video he's tweeted about the towers and what she said about 9/11. Are you concerned for her wellbeing, first and foremost?"
PELOSI: "Of course."
AMANPOUR: "You asked for more security around her."
PELOSI: "Yes, but I don't think that the congresswoman is anti-Semitic. I -- I wouldn't even put those in the same category. I think the president --"
AMANPOUR: "But she's being accused of it."
PELOSI: "Well, she's being accused of it, but I -- I'm -- I criticized the president for using film of -- video of 9/11 as a political tool. I think he was wrong to do that.”
