Omar, the first Somali refugee to be elected to Congress, responded on Twitter to Pierson’s post, “Trump and his campaign don’t only have a problem with me and people who look like me.”
“They are threatened by our growing progressive movement,” added Omar

Another Twitter user, @Krikalitika, said “Isn’t Katrina Pierson also the one who, very early on in Trump’s desecration of our country, made a point of wearing a necklace constructed entirely of bullets in a guest shot on a talking heads pundit show?”
