House Dems warn Omar in 'imminent danger' after Trump rally chants 
                                                                                    
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
                                                                                    House Democrats erupted in fury Thursday over President Donald  Trump’s attacks on freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar at his reelection rally,  fearful that crowd chants of “send her back” have personally endangered  her and her family. 
                                                                                    Senior Democrats are now calling for authorities to evaluate security  for Omar (D-Minn.), as well as the three other lawmakers who Trump  called out by name at his Wednesday night rally in North Carolina —  warning that Trump has escalated the risk of threats or even acts of  violence toward the four minority freshmen.
                                                                                    “It’s crystal clear to me that her life is in imminent danger,” said  Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), a senior member of the Congressional Black  Caucus. “He has threatened the safety of a member of Congress. That  takes this to a whole different level.”
                                                                                    “It’s bad enough that the president didn’t stop the chant last night.  But he started it. It’s instilling fear, it’s going to instill  violence,” added Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.), the House’s No. 4  Democrat.
                                                                                    Trump disavowed the "send her back" chant on Thursday, telling  reporters, “I was not happy with it. I disagree with it.” The chant  started as Trump was falsely claiming that Omar praised Al-Qaeda — an  untruth he has repeated several times in recent days — and the president  then paused his speech for several seconds as the audience continued. 
                                                                                    Omar told reporters Thursday that she wasn't worried about her  personal safety but feared for Americans of color who she thinks could  become a target after Trump's comments.
