Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday that she spoke with the Sergeant at Arms of the House to ensure the safety of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) after President Trump recently tweeted a video targeting the congresswoman.
“Following the president’s tweet, I spoke with the Sergeant-at-Arms to ensure that Capitol Police are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Congresswoman Omar, her family and her staff. They will continue to monitor and address the threats she faces," Pelosi said in a statement.
Pelosi also called on Trump to take down the video, which she called "disrespectful and dangerous."
“The President’s words weigh a ton, and his hateful and inflammatory rhetoric creates real danger. President Trump must take down his disrespectful and dangerous video," Pelosi said.
