Freshmen Reps. Alexandria Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D- N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said that with every Conservative critique they each receive, death threats spike.
This puts me in danger every time.

Almost every time this uncalled for rhetoric gets blasted by conserv. grps, we get a spike in death threats to refer to Capitol Police.
Multiple ppl have been arrested trying to harm me, Ilhan, & others.@GOP, what’s it going to take to stop? https://t.co/vpous77RbT
Details: Ocasio-Cortez has received so many death threats that it has prompted Capitol Police to train her staff to conduct risk assessments for everyone who comes through her office, reports Time Magazine. When critics came after Omar for her comments about 9/11, threats followed as well.
This is dangerous incitement, given the death threats I face. I hope leaders of both parties will join me in condemning it.
