Clicking the Trending link brings up a Twitter Moments tweet that defends Sarsour:

“Linda Sarsour received a backlash after she referred to standing up to oppressors as a form of jihad during her address at the Islamic Society of North America. In response, Sarsour said her activism was rooted in non-violence.”

Twitter included in the Moment a defense of Sarsour from Buzzfeed’s Chris Geidner that includes a partial transcript of Sarsour’s speech. The last paragraph in the excerpt includes Sarsour’s call for jihad against Trump.
