Esquire reports:
On Friday, a Trump supporter was arrested for threatening to murder Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women ever elected to Congress. And instead of condemning the threat against Omar’s life, Trump mocked the Congresswoman during a speech Saturday, inciting boos from his audience.
The president began his Saturday remarks to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas by thanking supporters in attendance, including donors Sheldon and Miriam Adelson and Senator Lindsey Graham.
He then mockingly thanked Rep. Omar, provoking boos from the conservative crowd. “Oh, oh, I forgot,” said Trump to the audience. “She doesn’t like Israel, I forgot. I’m so sorry. No, she doesn’t like Israel, does she?”
