The US House member says president’s rhetoric about her and Somali Americans could have dangerous consequences
US congresswoman Ilhan Omar has warned that Donald Trump’s repeated personal attacks and dehumanising rhetoric are fuelling a climate of political violence that could have dangerous consequences.
Speaking days after the president called for her to be thrown out of the country, Omar said Trump’s incendiary language reaches “the worst humans possible” and encourages them to act.
“We’ve had people incarcerated for threatening to kill me,” she told the Guardian in an interview at her Washington office. “We have people that are being prosecuted right now for threatening to kill me and so it is something that does stay in the back of our minds. But I also worry about those people finding someone who looks like me in Minneapolis or across the country and thinking it is me and harming them.”
NOT True! The people who Tried to KILL Trump and who DID Kill Charlie Kirk were VIOLENT LIBRULS and the People Murdering Democratic Politicians are One Off WHACK Jobs!
Not shit that’s the point and as a Congress member you should be pushing your party to do something. He going round you and your family up if you fucking don’t.
How is this news? Have you given up on even trying? Hmmm what should we write about today? How about that Trump told a falsehood?
No shit. And that’s why he does it.
BREAKING: Frogs hop, says science.
@MicroWave She should sue trump like he does to everyone who says anything about him.
I wish that even a tiny fraction of the people he harms would sue him.
