In a chaotic moment outside the Capitol, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) — trailed by a mob of cameramen and reporters — stopped in the middle of Independence Avenue, shut down two lanes of traffic and gave an impromptu news conference responding to Trump supporters who chanted at President Trump's rally Wednesday that she should leave the country.
"I am not [scared for my safety]. What I'm scared for is the safety for people who share my identity,†Omar told a gaggle of journalists on Thursday.
"This is not about me. This is about fighting for what this country should be and what it deserves to be."
CNN's Manu Raju recorded video of reporters asking questions to Omar.
