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."

Cremate & flush the Ashe’s problem solved,
Only this time, don't bother to rebuild. Leave it looking like Mogadishu on the Mississippi, as a reminder.
The crybully routine has passed its sell by date. Nobody takes it seriously.
quotes:
@realDonaldTrump’s dangerous video must be taken down. I have spoken with the Sergeant-at-Arms to ensure that Capitol Police are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Rep. @Ilhan Omar, her family & her staff. They will continue to monitor & address the threats she faces.

Not…going…to…touch…this…
Ilhan, if that happens I will smile as I read your obituary.
“She continues to make anti-Semitic comments over and over again and Democrats refuse to call her out for it...If she continues to do it, the president will continue to call her out—call her out by name. And he’s not going to be ashamed, nor should he be.”

Easy solution...go back to Somalia, where you belong.
I’d crack open a Miller and throw some steaks on the grill.
“Police are investigating the shooting death of one man from Wednesday night near Bloomington Avenue and Lake Street....only smoking rubble remained of a Wendy’s restaurant, and flames still leapt out of an almost 200-apartment affordable housing development that had been under construction.”
We’d hand out candy, like your buddies do after Israelis are killed.
The world becomes a better place.
