"You and your people are a stain." That's one of the tweets that has been directed at a member of the Minnesota Legislature, DFL Rep. Ilhan Omar. Omar is the first Somali-American Muslim lawmaker in state history. She's gotten some national attention for that - she was in Time magazine and on The Daily Show - which has led to more comments on social media. Rep. Omar also has plenty of supporters who praise her on Twitter, but the negative comments have a striking level of vitriol. Rep. Omar spoke about this with MPR News' Tom Weber.
