The poster was reportedly put on display for a “Republicans Take the Rotunda” event. It shows a photo of the Twin Towers in flames with the words, "Never forget - you said.." followed by, "I am the proof — you have forgotten," alongside a photo of Omar.

It wasn't immediately clear what "hitlist" Omar was referring to in her tweet, though prosecutors have said that the Minnesota lawmaker was among the Democrats included on a list of targets for a Coast Guard lieutenant arrested on suspicion of plotting to kill prominent politicians.

The poster at the West Virginia statehouse reportedly sparked an explosive argument on Friday between Democrats and the House's Republican sergeant at arms, Anne Lieberman, for allegedly making an anti-Muslim remark.

According to Democrat Mike Angelucci, Lieberman said, "all Muslims are terrorists."

Lieberman denied making the remark, but later resigned. One staffer was also reportedly injured during the fighting and had to be sent to the hospital.
