She wrote, “I did not threaten anyone. If you are calling it a threat- you believe that individual is guilty, and therefore it is not a threat, it's treason. You and the fake news #MSM are lying by calling it Iynch ing [sic] or terroristic threats.” Omar, the first Somali-American elected to Congress, has been in the crosshairs of the Republican party since her election, with, accusing the refugee of being ungrateful and making anti-U.S. remarks.
