House Democrats erupted in fury over Donald Trump’s attacks at Rep. Ilhan Omar at his reelection rally, fearful that racist crowd chants of “send her back” have personally endangered her and her family
House Democrats erupted in fury Thursday over President Donald Trump’s attacks on freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar at his reelection rally, fearful that crowd chants of “send her back” have personally endangered her and her family.
Omar told reporters Thursday that she wasn't worried about her personal safety but feared for Americans of color who she thinks could become a target after Trump's comments. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , one of the lawmakers Trump railed against Wednesday night and in tweets over the weekend, said she has concerns over her safety and is discussing with Democrats whether to ask for additional security.
House Democrats overwhelmingly voted on Tuesday to condemn Trump's racist remarks against Omar, Ocasio-Cortez and Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib , in which he said the four women of color should "go back" to another country. "We did what Congress can do. We did a strong resolution of condemnation," he said. "I don’t think anyone who voted for the resolution of condemnation thought for a moment it would change his behavior.”
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries also suggested Thursday that the four freshmen might require more security in light of Trump’s attacks, with a crowd of thousands chanting to “send her back.”
