On July 16, 2019, Hannon emailed Omar threatening to kill her following a televised news conference held by her and three other U.S. Congresswomen, federal authorities said.
The subject line of Hannon’s email, in which he threatened to shoot Omar in the head, was “[You’re] dead, you radical Muslim.”
Hannon also referred to Omar and the other congresswomen of color as “radical rats,” and asked if Omar was prepared “to die for Islam,” according to authorities.
