Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has been sprayed with a foul-smelling liquid during a town hall she was hosting on Tuesday. A man rushed towards the stage and targeted her as she criticised immigration enforcement actions.
Omar was not injured in the attack. “Here’s the reality that people like this ugly man don’t understand. We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us,” she told the crowd.
