NEW: Rep. Ilhan Omar alternately quavered and wore a stern expression tonight as she stood in a House television galley, held a tape recorder and played a voicemail in which an unnamed caller called her a "Sand [n-word] bitch" and a "f-cking traitor."

trib.al/TNlCLK5
Omar said she received the death threat after Rep. Lauren Boebert made anti-Muslim comments about her this weekend.

The two later had a phone call where Omar eventually hung up, according to accounts from both lawmakers.

Omar told reporters during her news conference that Boebert's comments "cannot go without punishment," adding that "if and when the Republican conference fails to do so, it is going to be our job to do that.”
