Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) had some support among Republican lawmakers despite President Donald Trump suggesting Omar “had herself sprayed” in an alleged attack during her town hall Tuesday.
Omar was in Minneapolis Tuesday evening, addressing questions from constituents when a man stood up and sprayed her with an unknown substance from a syringe. At the time of the disruption, Omar was recommending that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem resign when the man, Anthony James Kazmierczak, 55, stood up to shout that Noem is “not resigning,” then emptied his syringe.
