Rep. Omar speaking Saturday at a CAIR banquet in Los Angeles. 

EXCERPT:

OMAR: “We all- we all kind of knew that this was happening. But the reason I think that many of us knew that this was going to get worse is that we finally had a leader in the White House who publicly says Islam hates us, who fuels hate against Muslims, who thinks it is ok to speak about a faith and a whole community in a way that is dehumanizing, vilifying. ...

“He makes us want to think that he doesn't understand the consequences that his words might have. Some people, like me, know that he understands the consequences. He knows that there are people that he can influence, to threaten and our lives, to diminish our presence."
