WASHINGTON - Death threats are a persistent part of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's life.
"I have to have regular conversations with my kids: 'What happens if I am killed?'" Omar said in an interview. "I have to have regular conversations with them about how to walk down the street, things to look for."
Since the Minneapolis Democrat won her congressional seat in 2018, two men have pleaded guilty to threatening to kill her. Omar's name, along with those of other prominent Democrats and some media figures, was found on a list put together by a man federal prosecutors warned "stockpiled assault weapons, studied violence, and intended to exact retribution on minorities and those he considered traitors."
In the most recent incident of threatening behavior, a man accused of starting fires at two Minneapolis mosques allegedly vandalized Omar's congressional office nearby and sent harassing emails.
When Democrats ran the House during her first four years in office, Omar said she could count on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to make sure she had the help and protection she needed. She said she lacks that confidence with the new Republican speaker, Kevin McCarthy.
"I don't know if I feel confident that if things were to rise to a dangerous level again if I can rely on the current speaker to take my safety and the safety of some of my other former vulnerable colleagues [seriously]," said Omar, the first Somali American and one of the first Muslim women to serve in Congress.
A spokesman for McCarthy responded in an email that the speaker "has made clear his expectation that politics must be separated from security and has empowered the House Sergeant at Arms to work with U.S. Capitol Police to protect all Members of Congress as they deem necessary."

Well, Omar, the devil would welcome another faithful servant to his kingdom.
Party time!
Now you know how non-muslims feel around youn and your ilk.
Sorry, sister. You have to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. I pray that you choose wisely.
You beat me too it...
Another pathetic foreign drama queen. Why the hell did she come her in the first place? She sure as hell didn’t come get a job to build a better life. Being a politician isn’t a job. Politicians have other people build their “better life” for them.
bttt
You die and go to Hell..................
She has the freedom go back to Somalia.
Deltas’ ready when you are honey.
Does she fear what she wishes for Israel?
Rumor is that 72 lads stand ready to service you.
For a start, ask Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and all the Jews you spew your venom at. They’ll help you with answers.
Vicious and defamatory out of one side of her mouth, crying ‘whoa is me’ out of the other. Typical leftist trash.
Do not care.
Don’t kill her, just vote her out of office if you can. Problem solved.
As long as she doesn’t play on the congressional baseball team I think she’s safe.
Beer drinking time...gotta have the piss on hand!
"Come to Papa."
We elect another person to take your spot! No big loss.
Does she think she is some sort of God?
Like the 750 MILLION innocent people murdered in the history of islam????
