Skip to Main ContentGOP Senator Baselessly Claims Ilhan Omar Attack Was 'Staged'Another Republican has smeared Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) after she was attacked during a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday.Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) claimed, without evidence, that the attack where a man sprayed an unknown substance on Omar was “staged.”The accusation follows Trump baselessly suggesting the Democrat “probably had herself sprayed,” and Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) saying he blamed Omar for what happened.“That was pretty much all staged,” Tuberville told podcaster Benny Johnson on Wednesday.“At the end of the day, this is the Democrats playing games,” he added.Police arrested Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, after using a syringe to spray Omar before security pinned him to the ground.See All UpdatesClose
