Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is under federal investigation over her financials, but that hasn’t shut her up. I mean, we know it wouldn’t, but there was a little extra excitement last night when she was assaulted at a town hall event in Minneapolis. The Minnesota leftist was condemning DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, calling for her resignation and threatening her with impeachment if she remained at her post, when some clown with a syringe squirted her with an unknown liquid. It reportedly emitted a foul odor.
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

The suspect has been identified as Anthony J. Kazmierczak, 55, and he’s been booked on third-degree assault charges. He also appears to be a leftist:

The cameras were stuck on the sloppy guy that just happened to be sitting in the front row aisle seat before Ilhan Omar went on.
Totally not staged!pic.twitter.com/QT0Y7pGTol
Was this staged? Well, I’ll let you debate that, but it wouldn’t shock me. This woman has a certain flair for the theatrical.

Trump's response:
JUST IN - President Trump when asked if he had seen the video of Rep. Omar being attacked and sprayed by a substance.

“No. I don't think about her. I think she's a fraud. I really don't think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her,” the president said.
UPDATE: The substance was apple cider vinegar.
