Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) is opening up about her need for security, sharing an anonymous death threat she said she received saying the Democratic lawmaker would likely be killed at the Minnesota State Fair.
"I hate that we live in a world where you have to be protected from fellow humans. I hated it as a child living through war and I hate it now," Omar tweeted on Wednesday in response to a post that showed a bodyguard standing behind her as she spoke at an event in Minnesota.
"But until deranged people like this stop threatening my life and the lives of others, I have to accept the reality of having security."

Omar's tweet included a photo of an anonymous death threat she received. In the threat, the writer says that the lawmaker will "not be going back to Washington" and that her "life will end before your 'Vacation' ends." It goes on to state that she wouldn't "die alone" and that a "very capable person with a very big 'Gun'" would target her.
