Rep. Ilhan Omar shared advice for incoming Congressman Don Leonard after he accused senior Democrats of threatening him over his reservations about Hakeem Jeffries' bid for Speaker.After defeating incumbent Republican Mike Carey in Ohio's 15th Congressional District, Don Leonard gave an interview to 10TV, in which he said he had “a lot of questions” for current House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He also declined to support Jeffries' bid for the next House Speaker until he “gets on board” with his issues. On November 9, Leonard sparked controversy when he uploaded a video on social media in which he claimed that senior Democrats had told him his life would become a “living h*ll” if he does not support Jeffries, as reported by Politico.On Thursday, TMZ's Jacob Wasserman spoke with Rep. Ilhan Omar about Leonard's allegations. The reporter asked Omar if she had ever faced a similar situation within the party. The congresswoman said “no” and added that she's “somebody that's hard to make life hard for.” Ilhan Omar further said:"You should tell Don to come find me. I got some tips for him."TMZ's reporter asked Omar what advice she would give Leonard, to which she replied:"You just gotta tell people you can't be bullied. And stand your ground. This place is like high school, man. If people see any weakness, they'll roll with it. They'll take advantage of you. You just gotta be tough."When asked if she had ever faced a similar situation, Ilhan Omar replied that no one had ever approached her in such a way.Ilhan Omar discusses what “might have happened” in Don Leonard's caseLater during her discussion with the TMZ reporter, Ilhan Omar spoke about the possibility that the Ohio congressman-elect might have interpreted advice from fellow Democrats as a threat. The Minnesota congresswoman said:"What I do think maybe might have happened is that people give advice that sometimes seems intimidating. And so you have to be able to read through the lines. And I think it is an intimidating place for new people to come to. And there are a lot of cliques here. A lot of people watch out for their friends. And so he just has to find his clique that's willing to fight for him, and I'm willing to be one."Earlier on Wednesday, Jacob Wasserman interviewed Don Leonard in D.C. and asked him about his video message. Leonard said it was a dinner with senior elected officials where he made his “position” on the upcoming Speaker's race clear. He said his fellow Democrats offered “very friendly advice” with “very stark consequences.” However, Leonard declined to share their names.
