▶ President tells Jewish audience Omar doesnt like Israel
▶ NY man charged Friday with threatening call to Omars office
President Donald Trump made a sarcastic reference to Representative Ilhan Omar during a speech in Las Vegas, a day after prosecutors said a New York man was arrested for threatening to murder the freshman Minnesota Democrat.
Trump snuck in the line about Omar minutes into a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition as he ran through a list of Republican lawmakers and others supportive of Israel.
Special thanks to Representative Omar of Minnesota, Trump said. Oh, I forgot. She doesnt like Israel. I forgot. Im so sorry."
Patrick Carlineo Jr., 55, of Addison, New York, was arrested and charged with threatening to assault and murder the Muslim lawmaker in a phone call with one of her staffers on March 21, the Justice Department said in a statement on Friday.
Carlineo allegedly asked, Do you work for the Muslim Brotherhood? Why are you working for her, shes an (expletive) terrorist. Ill put a bullet in her (expletive) skull.
