A man at a Minneapolis town hall hosted by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., confronted her Tuesday night and tried to spray her with a substance before he was removed from the venue.

Omar, who has faced a barrage of near-daily attacks from President Donald Trump, had called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be abolished and for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign or face impeachment moments before the man lunged toward her.

Omar has long been a focus of Trump’s attacks. He mocked her and her home country, Somalia, at a rally in Iowa on Tuesday afternoon, saying immigrants must “show that they can love our country; they have to be proud, not like Ilhan Omar.”

**********************

No mention the called the US the US G** D****** States.

I doubt Trump mocked Somalia, but instead probable told the truth.

Looked like a mostly peaceful protest to me. Or have the rules flipped again?

How much did Ilhan Omar pay him to do it?

Omar, who has faced a barrage of near-daily attacks from President Donald Trump…

Oh please, NBC. It’s the other way around. That stupid foreign America-hating grifter never shuts her yap.

She needs to be deported.

And then they calmly go on with the town hall like nothing happened.

No one concerned that it might have been acid. No one concerned that it might have been a biological agent.

Perhaps “Truth Serum” which failed. LOL

In reality she is neck deep in all this corruption I would think. Let there be light, a most brilliant light that exposes all corruption regardless of one being left or right.

RE: staged?

The actors’ “marks” on the floor, the special stage lights fitted with Fresnel modifiers, rimlights, kickers and sidelight softboxes and umbrellas, and the director with headphones giving a sign to start and for Omar to feign shock, were all giveaways. So was the man’s voice in back saying “cut.”

Omar’s SAG-AFTRA union membership check bounced (was for a Somali Bank which turned out to be a front).

It was staged.

Probably, we'll see. If you never see the man's face on a mug shot and they sneak him out the back door of the station the next day...

Funny, I didn't hear one word about Trump except from the reporterette. How does she assume he was involved? I gotta say, I'm not sure about a motive.

Maybe it was furniture polish and he just wanted to improve her image. What's good for Pinocchio might also help omar.

People on youtube are analyzing the video and slowing it down and it is so fake. She wanted to make her own “fight fight fight. “ video to gin up support. She looks at the guy and nods, and then he stands up and this black lady says calmly on cue-“ he has sprayed something on her..” No one gets away. If someone sprays you, you’d suspect it was acid or something and seek help. Phony phony phony. Bad ghetto acting.
