Never one to keep her mouth shut rather than reveal herself for a fool, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar likened President Trump’s campaign rallies to “Klan rallies,” dramatically claiming her family asked her every say during the last months of the campaign if she was “safe.”
"He chose to speak about me at every single rally, it didn’t really matter where he was—sometimes multiple times in a day, as he had held his Klan rallies throughout the country," Omar told the Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart.
"On a personal level, I have gotten accustomed to standing up to bullies in my life. And so, on a personal level, it hasn't really impacted me besides having my children be exposed to it, and for the last two months of this election cycle, waking up every single morning to text messages from my siblings asking if I was safe," she continued.
Omar's comments come just a week after CNN's Christiane Amanpour likened the Trump presidency to the Nazis' Kristallnacht attack on Jews, during which thousands of stores were looted and destroyed, women were raped and innocent people were murdered or shipped off to concentration camps.
