Ilhan Omar Physically Attacked During Town Hall Event

“Oh, my God, he sprayed something on her,” a witness could be heard saying, as numerous people rushed toward the podium. Someone else said that the substance smelled bad and that Omar should “get checked.”

But Omar refused. “We will continue,” she said, angrily refusing to leave. “These f***ing a******s are not going to get away with this.”

The town hall took place amid heightened tensions in Minneapolis following recent fatal shootings involving federal immigration agents, which have drawn protests and criticism from local officials and advocacy groups.
