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."

She is way down the kill list!
“What happens if I am killed?’”
From her lips to Yahweh’s ears......
A. Minnesota would do its best to elect an even more reprehensible POS to replace her.
Killed? Vacancy in congress?
If there is some perceived political advantage a handful of psycho leftists will make a big fuss.
Otherwise, you will not be missed.
“just vote her out of office if you can. Problem solved”
That’s the problem.....looks like Minnesota is now full of mindless democrat idiots......the ones that aren’t have now invaded my state and other red states, reaping the benifits of what we that have always lived here have worked for decades to achieve.....them being apparently too lazy to correct what’s screwed up in theirs.....and don’t get me started on their driving habits.
‘What happens if I am killed?’

Then somebody did something?
Woe is me
‘What happens if I am killed?’” Omar said in an interview.
We celebrate and I am buying the first round of drinks!!!
I'd buy a round for everyone!
“...just vote her out of office...”
Her (and my) district is packed with Somali immigrants.
There’s no way she won’t win if she runs.
They’ll bury you
The world stinks a little less?

She should quit and get a cabin in the VT wilderness and be safe.
What happens if you are killed? Well you die for starters.
Hopefully, dogs will consume your carcass in the streets.
Next question, please…
