Ilhan Omar says she was protecting her 'dignity' in attack

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) defended her actions immediately after being attacked at a 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 and shouted that Noem is “not resigning,” then emptied his syringe.
