Rep. Ilhan Omar says she's faced increased death threats since Pres. Trump spread around a video that purports to show her being dismissive of the 2001 terrorist attacks.
spread around a video that purports to show her being dismissive of the 2001 terrorist attacks. "This is endangering lives," she said, accusing Trump of fomenting right-wing extremism. "It has to stop."
But Omar said that since Trump retweeted the video Friday night, she's received many threats on her life that referred or replied to the posted video. Pelosi said officials will continue to monitor and assess threats against Omar and called on Trump to discourage such behavior. Critics accuse Omar of being flippant in describing the perpetrators of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. She later sought to defend herself by tweeting a quote from President, in which the Republican president referred to the attackers as "people" just days after 9/11.
