On March 1 , 2019 , the West Virginia Republican Party held " WV GOP Day , " an event to celebrate the Republican Party , at the West Virginia Capitol . An exhibitor , not associated with the GOP , displayed a poster at the event falsely connecting Omar to the 9/11 terrorist attacks , along with Islamophobic flyers . State delegate Mike Pushkin , in attendance at the event , said that no Republican delegates condemned the poster . The poster was condemned the following day by the WV GOP party , which said , " The West Virginia Republican Party does not approve , condone , or support hate speech . " Omar pointed to the poster as an example of why she is targeted with violence , also citing white nationalist domestic terrorist Christopher Hasson placing her on his hit list and " Assassinate Ilhan Omar " being written in a Minnesota gas station
