Trump supporter charged with threatening to kill Rep. Ilhan Omar
ELMIRA, N.Y. – A New York man is in custody after federal authorities say he threatened to kill freshman Congresswoman Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Omar is a freshman representative who was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm election and one of three members of Congress who are Muslim. Her freshman class was marked by its diversity, bringing more people of color and women to Congress than ever before. In the aftermath of the controversy, the House passed a resolution that broadly condemned hate. It was originally crafted solely on denouncing anti-Semitism but later broadened to condemning other forms of bigotry against minorities. Carlineo provided a name and phone number to Omar's staff member, and authorities were able to trace the phone number to an Addison address.
"If our forefathers were still alive, they'd put a bullet in her head," he told the agents, according to federal court documents.
