‘Had Herself Sprayed’: Trump Dismisses Omar Town Hall Attack

President Donald Trump said that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., “probably had herself sprayed” after the congresswoman was attacked by a man with a syringe at a town hall.

The firebrand member of the House who has been the subject of a federal fraud probe was sprayed by an unknown substance during a town hall meeting on Tuesday in Minneapolis, the location of intense turmoil over the enforcement of federal immigration laws. 

“I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud,” Trump told ABC News, when asked if he saw the video of the incident. “She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.”

Regarding the video, Trump added: “I haven’t seen it. No, no. I hope I don’t have to bother.”

Video of Omar’s town hall meeting showed the suspect jumping up from the front row, charging at Omar, and then spraying her shortly after the congresswoman called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign or be impeached. 

Anthony James Kazmierczak, 55, was reportedly charged with assault in the third degree.

The suspect used a syringe to shoot the liquid at Omar’s chest. Omar wasn’t hurt and continued the town hall.

“We will continue,” Omar said after the incident, adding that the suspect “is not getting away with this.”
