"I guess we'll begin with your reaction to the language we just heard from the president there, Hylton said. But also, I want to ask how you are doing. You've been attacked by the president, by a colleague whose office is right next door to yours, Congresswoman Nancy Mace. I know that you have received messages and voicemails from people threatening you. How are you holding up?"
"I've been the target of the president in the most vile, bigoted, racist ways that you could imagine. And I've had to have full police detail because of that. So it is surprising that he's back at it because I thought he's moved on and found a new person to harass. But here's a president that is always unhinged, always strange, always creating chaos and division."
MSNBC hosts conducted a roundtable interview with Representative Ilhan Omar that featured friendly, softball questions. The program played a tape of President Donald Trump calling for Omar's impeachment. Omar said she has long been targeted by the president with vile, bigoted, racist attacks and has required full police detail amid threats and voicemails. She noted applauding Senator Ted Cruz's opposition to Trump FCC tactics related to a Jimmy Kimmel suspension. Omar criticized colleagues like Rep. Nancy Mace and Rep. Randy Fine for threats of impeachment and deportation, saying such actions display idiotic leadership and racial bias.
