Foul-Smelling Substance Used In Spray Attack On Ilhan Omar Identified As Somali Food

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The malodorous substance sprayed on Representative Ilhan Omar at a town hall meeting has been identified as Somali food.

A man seated on the front row of the town hall suddenly rose and began shouting at Omar midway through the event before spraying her with Somali cuisine that had been fed through a blender.

"Oof. It smells like rice and bananas," said security guard Jim Palmer as he secured Omar. "This is the most awful stench I have ever encountered. We need to get that substance down to the laboratory immediately. It's either poo mixed with rancid eggs and sardines or Somali food."

Despite aides calling for Omar to cancel the remainder of the town hall, she bravely decided to press on. "I refuse to cower in the face of Somali food," declared Omar, returning to the podium. "These hurlers of Somali fare cannot be allowed to win. I have overcome the unwholesome effluvia of these foods many times, and I shall do so once more."

At publishing time, several town hall attendees had been hospitalized with severe nostril damage.

You feed that to children in daycare?

No one's addressing the potential damage and threat of infection anyone around Omar must endure.

The perpetrator has disappeared and no one knows what substance was released at the town hall. Since Omar chose not to wash it off, what dangers are anyone in contact with her facing today?

I would not feel comfortable being around her until I see her publicly scrubbed by a hazmat team and washed with fire hoses...

Yes, very necessary, and unfortunate ... for the Firefighters.
