Ilhan Omar Retweets Person Saying Sen. Rand Paul Deserved Felony Assault
AMBER ATHEY
July 29, 2019
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar retweeted a suggestion Monday that Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul deserved to be violently assaulted by his next door neighbor.
The tweet in question was posted by Tom Arnold, Roseanne Barr’s ex-husband, who was responding to Paul’s assertion that Omar would be more grateful to live in America if she visited her home country Somalia more often.
“After she’s visited Somalia she might come back and appreciate America more,” Paul said in a recent interview.
Arnold replied, “Imagine being Rand Paul’s next door neighbor and having to deal with @RandPaul lying cowardly circular whiney bullcrap about lawn clippings. No wonder he ripped his toupee off.”
Omar retweeted Arnold’s tweet.

Omar has previously complained that she has received more death threats since President Donald Trump criticized the freshman Democratic “squad,” and accused Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw of inciting violence against her by criticizing her comments about America.
Omar’s office did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.
