During a town hall in Minneapolis, a man sitting directly in front of Representative Ilhan Omar rushed to the lectern and sprayed her with a pungent liquid. He was immediately tackled and removed from the room.
“And D.H.S. Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment.” “He sprayed on her.” “What is that?” “What did he spray?” “I don’t know.” “Oh my God.” “Are you alright?” “I need a napkin.” “He sprayed something, and it smells terrible.” “Make a hole.” “No, no. We’ll go, we’ll continue. We will continue. No, we will continue.” “No no no, Ilhan, you need to go get changed. No.” “We will continue. These [expletive] are not going to get away with it. “You need to go get changed.” “That’s what he — that’s what they want. Please don’t let them have it.” “It’s not about him, Ilhan.” “We’re going to keep talking. Just give me 10 minutes. Here is the reality that people like this ugly man don’t understand. We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”
