Ilhan Omar Physically Attacked During Town Hall Event

“During her town hall, an agitator tried to attack the Congresswoman by spraying an unknown substance with a syringe. Security and the Minneapolis Police Department quickly apprehended the individual. He is now in custody. The Congresswoman is okay. She continued with her town hall because she doesn’t let bullies win,” the statement read.

DataRepublican, a prominent conservative X pundit and programmer, challenged this version of events in the replies, saying that she “continued the town hall because of one of two options: 1) She does not have the self-preservation instincts accompanying being sprayed with a smelly substance, such as getting a doctor to check it out or even as simple as washing it off. 2) She staged it.”

“There are no other options,” she added.
