Pelosi was among Democrats who had criticized Trump over the tweet, with some accusing him of trying to incite violence against the Muslim lawmaker.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended Trump earlier Sunday, saying the president had a duty to highlight Omar's history of making comments that others deem anti-Semitic or otherwise offensive and that he wished no "ill will" upon the first-term lawmaker.
But Omar said that since Trump retweeted the video Friday night, she'd received many threats on her life that referred or replied to the posted video.
Pelosi said officials would continue to monitor and assess threats against Omar and called on Trump to discourage such behavior.
Huckabee Sanders questioned why Democrats weren't following Trump's example and calling out Omar, too.
