Omar spoke out earlier Thursday against Trump’s comments, calling him a “fascist” and stopping traffic in downtown Washington, D.C., to hold an impromptu press conference responding to the president’s supporters and their chants.

“I want to remind people that this is what this president and his supporters have turned our country [into] that is supposed to be a country where we allow democratic debate and dissent to take place,” Omar said. “This is not about me; this is about us fighting for what this country truly should be and what it deserves to be.”
