The President Is Endangering the Life of Rep. Ilhan Omar

write the following with sadness and trepidation. The president of the United States has endangered the life of a member of Congress by creating and disseminating a propaganda video, similar to those historically used by extremist political groups, which ties her to the 9/11 tragedy because she is a Muslim-American speaking up for Muslim-Americans.

He has not condemned the recent burnings of three black churches. He has not repudiated his relationship with the Saudi crown prince who murdered an American journalist. But he attacks a political opponent in Congress for exercising her First Amendment rights, and because she is a Muslim.

Congresswoman Omar has already received death threats, including one by a supporter of Trump who was recently arrested.

This is how tyranny takes hold, friends. All of us -- Christians and Jews, Democrats as well as Republican members of Congress -- have a duty to condemn Trump's actions.

He is an increasingly dangerous thug. We must do whatever we can, legally, to remove him from the presidency.
