Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., held a town hall Tuesday evening in her home district amid recent shootings involving federal immigration agents and local agitators in Minneapolis.

The event started out mostly uneventful until a man attacked the congresswoman with some sort of chemical spray that had a foul odor, according to those close by. Those nearby Omar wanted her to leave, but Omar refused and continued on.

"Please don't let them have the show," Omar could be heard saying after she was hit with the foul-smelling spray. "We will continue! These f----ing a--holes are not going to get away with this."

"Here is the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," Omar said as she returned to the microphone. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."

""Everybody, everybody settle down. I'm going to finish my remarks," Omar said following the attack. "It is important for me to continue to lead my Democratic colleagues in demanding [Noem's] resignation."

The whole damned thing looks staged to paint her as a victim if you ask me......the timing is TOO perfect.

phony. I. slow motion she looks at the guy and nods, he stands up and sprays her and a black woman calmly reads here lines and says “she’s been sprayed with something.”

Then, she refuses to go to the hospital even though your first reaction would be that it was Aids blood or acid.

She wanted her own ,” fight fight fight” moment. Utterly staged. Many youtube videos of the even in super slomo if you want to watch.

Likely it was either deodorant or bug spray. That said, it was likely staged.

If not staged, it was inappropriate.

And just like that,

Ugly Man disappeared.

Not a trace.

Because he works for Omar and did a good job.

HOAX 100%, no question, total BS

Who would stage such a fake? ...someone under a billion dollar fraud investigation?

Arrest the guy. I don’t want this to be the start of a trend. And if this was a set-up, let that come out.

It shouldn’t be too hard to find the guy, unless the local police are totally incompetent.

For that matter, since she’s a Congressperson, this should be a federal case.

There are multiple videos that show what looks like her making eye contact with him and nodding a second before he gets up and goes towards her.

She didn’t know what it was, supposedly, but didn’t seem too concerned about an unknown substance being sprayed on her - it could have been poison or something acidic but she was unconcerned. I would expect that reaction from someone who KNEW what it was.

Stupid, stupid democrats - setting up all kinds of hoaxes - political, racial and directed at LGBT.... because no one cares enough about them to do something.

Anyone remember Hillary Clinton’s IRON MY SHIRT fake confrontation????

She is getting VERY DESPERATE. Her corruption cannot be hidden anymore. She is going to prison and upon release- deported back to the people her family genocided. Her brother too hopefully.

Agreed. Republicans should be loudly demanding the local and federal law enforcement bring this guy to justice. I’d the dems try to poo poo it, and insist that, well, no harm was done so let’s just drop it, then there’s your tell. Smollet 2.0

In Other News.. Ilhan Omar announced today that she is moving up her annual bath in response to being sprayed with unknown perfume by an audience member who claimed her scent was making his eyes water.

Fake defiance. Virtue signaling at its best. And she gets to use some naughty language, to help build her street cred.

What a miserable waste of human DNA.

What a hero she is. She’s like a modern day Teddy Roosevelt completing his speech after being shot in the chest.

Of course it was staged.

“Ilhan Omar hit with unknown spray and other key moments from chaotic Minneapolis town hall”

If a Leftist did the same to a MAGA, they would call it a ‘mostly peaceful town hall’.
