Certain Americans have argued that President Trump ought not to tweet about “The Squad” or criticize them during his rallies. Other believe that people who willingly enter the political arena are fair game for censure.
Despite the Capitol Police meeting with the four congresswoman, there are no reports of increased threats against them. Notwithstanding, the authorities still maintain that “The Squad” should know the safety options which are available to them.
Various levels of law enforcement have agreed to work with one another to ensure the safety of not only Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley, and Tlaib, but also additional lawmakers. In spite of the infamy of “The Squad,” other lawmakers have received more threats than the four congresswomen.
The North Carolina Rally
Concerns about the safety of various lawmakers comes amidst criticism of Rep. Omar at one of President Trump’s rallies in North Carolina earlier this week. The president criticized Omar for her comments on Israel, 9/11, and the alleged “pervasive ignorance” which the congresswoman said exists in America.
