During a campaign event on Tuesday, presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke came to the defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar , who’s been receiving death threats as President Donald Trump attacks her in press conferences and on Twitter.
He continued: “This is the test of all tests for us. It’s not just that he is partisan, it’s not just that he is divisive. He is hateful. He is racist. He has encouraged the worst tendencies amongst our fellow Americans ... Unless we can beat him in November of 2020, it will continue. Unless we offer a compelling, profoundly powerful alternative to hatred and division and fear and anger, it will continue.
Omar ― one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress ― previously said people are threatening her life in the name of Trump and the video he posted, which features comments she made while speaking at an event last month for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
