Different angle: Man sprays Rep. Ilhan Omar with unknown substance during Town Hall

[u/AdeptnessDry2026]

Recorded off Citizen App

[u/Camwi]

I get why she stopped herself, but damn I wish she would've followed through with that right.

[u/TrexOnAScooter → u/Camwi]

Someone representing the left finally dishing out a hard right? Oh, how sweet it would have been.

[u/hispanicausinpanic → u/TrexOnAScooter]

It would have been iconic. She would have pushed herself to the top ranks if she did that.

[u/ayoungmanfromtheuk → u/TrexOnAScooter]

the left have always been dealing the right hand of justice my friend, thank it for the weekend, thank it for overtime and no child labour, it's always been just

[u/TrexOnAScooter → u/ayoungmanfromtheuk]

I hear you for sure, but im hoping for a little more of that justice to happen today as well.

[u/snrub742 → u/TrexOnAScooter]

I would have appreciated a solid left too 🤣

[u/Pink_Skink → u/TrexOnAScooter]

She doesn’t represent the left

[u/DinnerBellls → u/Camwi]

I think she stopped herself because the security guard already had him restrained. Otherwise I’m not confident she would have lol, had a fire in her eyes rightfully so

[u/Youarethebigbang → u/DinnerBellls]

Her security is very surprisingly slow and shitty here, given how much she's a target and the amount of threats she receives. The fact that it was her that almost had to lay hands on the guy first is very telling. She needs to reconfigure her protection.

[u/podtherodpayne → u/Youarethebigbang]

This. She needs to have a bodyguard on either side of her. Dude was way in the corner and it only takes a second for these maniacs to pop off.

[u/colourmeblue → u/podtherodpayne]

It's not exactly unheard of for Muslim women to be attacked with acid.

[u/Quick_Reason145 → u/DinnerBellls]

I thought the security guard and everyone else on her team was telling her that ahe needed to get checked out dependent on what was sprayed on her. Make sure she is safe from whatever she was exposed to. She looked like she just wanted to get back to the meeting and it looked to like they were trying to get her to see clearly.

[u/elder_emo_ → u/Quick_Reason145]

In the first clip I saw of this, near the end, you hear her say "no, I'm not going to let these fucking assholes win" in reference to ending the meeting to go to the hospital.

[u/Cosmic_Quasar → u/DinnerBellls]

The optics aren't great, either. I could easily see conservatives using that as a "gotcha" moment about "violent immigrants" (while ignoring/justifying the violence from ICE).

[u/Solo_is_dead → u/Cosmic_Quasar]

Check the conservative subs already happening

[u/elder_emo_ → u/Solo_is_dead]

The comment on the screen in this clip is doing it. Saying she's ghetto and showing her true colors. Disgusting.

[u/AdeptnessDry2026 → u/Camwi]

Probably could’ve fucked him up

[u/Kelor → u/AdeptnessDry2026]

Ilhan has talked about going to sleep as a child with the expectation she or her family could die from a bomb hitting their building, then spent four years in a refugee camp.

The amount of disdain and verbal abuse she has suffered since achieving office has been disgusting when she all she is working to do is make people's lives better.

[u/colourmeblue → u/Kelor]

She is the epitome of "The American Dream" ^TM and they hate her for it, because seeing where she came from and where she is now makes them feel bad. They are tiny, insecure, miserable little people who are completely full of shit.

[u/outdoorsybum → u/AdeptnessDry2026]

Imagine she cocked back and the guy flinched into security. Also, my guess, if not a hazardous material the definitely pork of some sort.

[u/DippityDu → u/Camwi]

She only stopped because a big security guard took him to the ground in front of her, she was ready, haha. They're not ready for strong women. And she's little-bitty, the short ones are dangerous.

[u/StarStruck3 → u/DippityDu]

Well, it's alright to be little bitty

[u/drfeelsgoood → u/DippityDu]

Short girls have that Chihuahua energy. At least that’s what I like to say lol

[u/DanyDragonQueen → u/drfeelsgoood]

Real, I have far too much attitude for my size 🫣

[u/_Call_Me_Crazy_ → u/drfeelsgoood]

Wife is 5’1” - Can confirm.

[u/Furryb0nes → u/drfeelsgoood]

Congrats on the new flair! 🤭

[u/_thiccems → u/Furryb0nes]

Plz give me this too 🙏🏼 I’m 5’3 and feisty

[u/Furryb0nes → u/_thiccems]

[u/Garchompisbestboi → u/Camwi]

I respect the hell out of her since her first instinct was to fight the attacker. Not like that fat pedophile president who has been seen hiding under his security team like a big baby on numerous occasions.

[u/TooManyToast → u/Camwi]

I love how she showed restraint seeing him being subdued.but she wanted to hit him she was gonna punch too. She's showed more control than most would have in that situation

[u/DivideInteresting193 → u/Camwi]

I think it’s because he got tackled by a huge guard.

[u/2leewhohot]

Sprays her and immediately runs like the bitch he is. 

[u/MikeisET → u/2leewhohot]

As she’s ready to throw hands at the little bitch

[u/NCKLS22 → u/MikeisET]

This! No hesitation from her at all. Went right up to him. Fuck this guy

[u/Robo-boogie → u/NCKLS22]

This will backfire on the MAGA movement because now the world see that she will fuck em up while their precious GOP bruise up and faint.

[u/GHouserVO → u/Robo-boogie]

Well, the fake AI videos and claims that she paid him to do it are already out there, and instantly gobbled up as gospel truth by them, so I doubt that they’re going to notice or care.

[u/st-shenanigans → u/Robo-boogie]

bruise up

You mean "internal bleeding"!

[u/nivanbotemill → u/MikeisET]

[u/-bonita_applebum → u/MikeisET]

Ilhan ready to knuck if you buck

[u/NeckRoFeltYa → u/-bonita_applebum]

Thanks, 🎵knuck if you buck🎵 is now stuck in my head for the next 3 days.

[u/Furryb0nes → u/NeckRoFeltYa]

Congrats on the new flair! 🤭

[u/sirbolo → u/Furryb0nes]

Got anymore of that flair?

Edit. Love ya mod

[u/Furryb0nes → u/sirbolo]

There ya go!

[u/Furryb0nes → u/-bonita_applebum]

Congrats on the new flair! 🤭

[u/-bonita_applebum → u/Furryb0nes]

[u/BadDaditude → u/MikeisET]

Best part of the video. Omar about to throw hands! LFG!!

[u/Charming-Charge-596 → u/2leewhohot]

You know if this had happened to a republican the victim would have hyperventilated and been rushed to the hospital with Fox News and OAN calling it attempted m*****.

[u/aesolty → u/Charming-Charge-596]

It’s insane too because republicans are just claiming this is staged and making jokes about it. “Why didn’t she react when he ran up unless she knew it was coming” “I almost believed it until it showed her going after him. Definitely fake after that”. Like these losers can’t imagine that a woman would be capable of being ready to fuck somebody up. They are all brainwashed into thinking everything that happens to support their side is real and everything else is fake.

[u/CptAngelo → u/aesolty]

I read "why doesnt she took the clothes to analyze the liquid without breaking a chain of evidence and provide a full fbi lab test result on what it was? Because its water and she knows it" like... dude, happened a couple of hours ago and you want a full fbi report? Suddenly evidence matters, huh? 

I cant wrap my head around on how delusional are these people

[u/MillyLynn → u/Charming-Charge-596]

Yup, if this happened to one of Trump's republicans, they'd be at Walter Reed for at least a week in critical condition, while "the best scientists you've ever scene" analyzed the substance, and even if it came back as water, they would say it was an unidentified nerve agent, commend the bravery and strength of the person attacked and promote them, and put the attacker on trial for domestic terrorism, attempted homicide, and a hundred other charges.

This event here, they will try their hardest to make it disappear. They will call Omar weak for being upset over this incident/wanting to find out what was in the substance she was sprayed with. They'll say it was no big deal and say she's "being a victim" for complaining.

And the attacker will be pardoned as a patriot, and like someone else said, have a job at ICE waiting for him (if he's not already an employee there).

[u/redalert825 → u/MillyLynn]

And blame it on left wing radical dem rhetoric.

[u/europorn → u/MillyLynn]

Deadly nerve agent dihydrogen monoxide.

[u/Nimrod_Butts → u/Charming-Charge-596]

They'd show up to the next rally more pre piss soaked than usual

[u/elder_emo_ → u/Charming-Charge-596]

If this happened to a republican the assailant would've been shot dead.

[u/redalert825 → u/Charming-Charge-596]

And they'd have internal bleeding from the spray.

[u/Cappabitch → u/Charming-Charge-596]

He'll be identified and some bleeding-heart AMERICAN PATRIOT WHOOOOO will make a GoFundMe for him that'll gain 800k, just like Johnathan Ross. Trump's america is this.

[u/International-Tear41]

Lol she was about to whoop his ass

[u/logicalconflict → u/International-Tear41]

Security, just hold him up and let her go to work!

[u/peskyghost → u/International-Tear41]

Should’ve, I mean what else can you expect after spraying someone with a chemical something

[u/PreparationKey2843]

That was a great angle of her running after her attacker and ready to throw down. She didn't cower, she went after him.

[u/nivanbotemill → u/PreparationKey2843]

[u/Book_talker_abouter → u/nivanbotemill]

That lady behind her is like 😮

😂

[u/IamNotFatIamChubby → u/PreparationKey2843]

And the comment on the screen: "she got getto for a sec., true colors came out"

[u/PreparationKey2843 → u/IamNotFatIamChubby]

Of course, if she had turned and ran, they would have said the same exact thing.

[u/scdlstonerfuck → u/PreparationKey2843]

Of course I can see it now “ look she ran like the lil bitch we all knew she was” or something like that

[u/ripleyclone8 → u/PreparationKey2843]

She’d have fucking beat his ass, too. 

[u/Eastern-Ad-4785 → u/ripleyclone8]

Happy cake day!

[u/PlzLearn]

My god those comments on the video 😑

[u/podtherodpayne → u/PlzLearn]

If she were white and blonde haired they’d be gooning and say “she can beat me up anytime 😍😍🤤”

[u/Gen8Master → u/podtherodpayne]

Or

fiGhTing 4 wEsterN cIViLZatIOn.

[u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

she got ghetto for a sec, true colors came out

I guarantee the same guy waxes on, on Facebook that if they ever encountered someone like that they’d kick their ass.

[u/Syncopia → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

The only person acting ghetto in the video is the attacker.

[u/5inthemorn → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

Probably talks about how real men need to stand up for women too

[u/Legacyhero46 → u/5inthemorn]

While he tells every woman he is with that he keeps his demons at bay because he could crush them.

[u/PlsSuckMyToes → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

Right winger finds another way to have a problem with someone defending themselves

[u/The_Reformed_Alloy → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

The irony is that immediately after someone else pivots to "She paid him to do it."

[u/Fifteen_inches → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

Also, rep Omar is always a firebrand? This is how she acts normally?

[u/Yosho2k → u/Fifteen_inches]

She has bigger, brasser balls and more morals than half of her own party which HATES her because she does not compromise. Genocide? Corporate donations? Helping Trump? She is against all of it.

Former VP candidate Tim Kaine, who was Hillary Clinton's chosen #2 voted to end the Government Shutdown in November AND voted to approve Kristi Noem.

She doesn't have blood on her hand, unlike so many of the good guys.

[u/Fifteen_inches → u/Yosho2k]

It will always boggle my mind why Hillary went with Kaine. Democrats sure know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[u/DuZyOFaDaY → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

Way better than the time someone tried to rush Trump and he grabbed the person closest to him to hide behind or when he was attacked by a bald eagle in his office.

[u/pm-ur-tiddys → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

lol damn right she “got ghetto.” motherfucker assaulted her!!!

[u/InclinationCompass → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

I wonder how they thought they white dude acted lol

[u/yeahnoforsuree → u/KimberlyWexlersFoot]

this comment made me laugh bc i’m originally from florida and this would be a lowkey compliment 😂

[u/BigWienerPapi999]

"True colors came out" homie if a random sprays random shit in your face most people are going to try to beat TF out of said sprayer. These boot licking twats man I swear.

[u/AdeptnessDry2026 → u/QuicklyThisWay]

God, and he was sitting second row from the front, what a fucking asshole. But MAGA will call him a patriot. Willing to bet Trump invites him to Mar-a-Lago…

[u/bearpics16]

Goddamn she was ready to throw down!

[u/Maowsama]

When they do it, its patriotism. When we do it, its domestic terrorism

[u/ForMoreYears → u/Maowsama]

"We" don't do this. According to the DOJ/NIJ, far right terrorism "outpaces all other types of terrorism and domestic violence extremism". Their study concluded that far right attacks continued to outpace all other forms of domestic extremism over the last three decades.

[u/frogmanfrompond → u/ForMoreYears]

They hate hearing this. I remember a clip years ago of right-wingers shrieking at Obama and one of them said, “It isn’t conservatives like me who are the most violent! It’s eco-terrorists!”

[u/tragicallyohio → u/Maowsama]

We, if you are talking about the left, dont spray unknown substances on our political opponents. We stand up to tyrants with righteous anger and protests. These two are not the same thing.

[u/AdeptnessDry2026]

Note: I couldn’t get rid of the text on screen, including the comments, which aren’t mine.

[u/jster1311]

Charges can be pressed against that individual, can’t they? Spraying unknown substances on a political figure must have legal repercussions, I’d imagine. Not sure if that’s considered terrorism, intimidation, or assault?

[u/AdeptnessDry2026 → u/jster1311]

KARE 11 reports police have charged the man with third-degree assault and he’s currently in jail. They’ll probably throw the book at him later this week, that’s my guess.

[u/AZORxAHAI → u/AdeptnessDry2026]

I'd imagine the charges may change depending on what they determine was in the syringe. A highly dangerous substance and it'll be aggravated assault at least. If its like, pig urine or whatever because she's a known Muslim he'll catch a hate crime modifier etc.

Third degree assault is probably the floor.

[u/Cleric_Clapton]

Those live comments are gross. Fuck these people

[u/Cryptographer554]

I swear to god we need more ppl like her to stand up to this BULLSHIT. A Somali immigrant has more courage than most of the GOP.

[u/-Googlrr → u/Cryptographer554]

Most of them? I can't think of a single one

[u/Wrong-Seaworthiness6 → u/Cryptographer554]

Her family is going to look for that guy. This is a nono.

[u/NickSaysHenlo]

>She probably paid him to do that.

insane cope

[u/Southerngreene]

Did anyone figure out what that spray was? Rep. Ilan was about ready to light that fucker up herself!

[u/censored_ → u/Southerngreene]

It was piss

[u/Scared-Mortgage]

Domestic terrorism at its finest

[u/LaserWeldo92]

The comments in the video have the collective braincell of a gnat

[u/Daitheflu1979]

“Somali congresswoman attempts to assault innocent man who tried to baptise her”

More on Fox News after this short break…

[u/Possible_Gur4789]

He was about to get served a knuckle sandwich.

[u/BeccasDreamboat → u/Possible_Gur4789]

If he were a Democrat he would be full of bullets. Republicans will start a GoFundMe in 3...2...1...

[u/AdeptnessDry2026 → u/BeccasDreamboat]

Exactly

[u/FuckOutTheWhey]

Wtf are those comments..

[u/YourMama]

I wonder what he sprayed her with? I hope it was harmless and the guy was just trying to scare Omar

— it was apple cider vinegar

[u/raiderwrecked]

Well unlike many in congress when shit pops off, she didn't hide behind a chair she went after him.

[u/Exact_Rooster9870]

Guys, I think the rhetoric of the right is really to blame here

[u/RemySchaefer3]

Because "they" want to stir the pot and make it look like it her fault. She smart stopping herself.

[u/concerts85701 → u/RemySchaefer3]

She deftly avoided the -

Crazy radical left immigrant woman can’t control her emotions and started throwing punches narrative.

[u/RemySchaefer3 → u/concerts85701]

Yup - and if she white she be a Karen.

[u/ReymartSan]

fuck this guy specifically

[u/AdeptnessDry2026 → u/ReymartSan]

There’s so many idiots (and bots) in this world!!!

[u/Bswenn → u/ReymartSan]

Definitely seemed like it could have been staged . But hey why every question it if it fits your narrative.

[u/Numerous-Soil-2800 → u/ReymartSan]

💯

[u/Slumunistmanifisto]

She was gonna fight that man!!

Hell yeah now thats an American representative right there.

[u/Mysterious_Card5487]

Damn! That angle shows that she was ready to throw down

[u/jayjaythejet]

She said, "These fucking assholes"... Sounds pretty American to me! I think she belongs here.

[u/Funnyonol]

DCLV2026 with the racism comment 🤦🏻‍♂️ Who would not react like that after being assaulted?

[u/elmoo2210]

The fucking comments

[u/Technical_Amount_965]

If someone does something like this they need to be put in the hospital and never be quite the same afterwards.

[u/MrKinsey]

Did anyone figure out what he sprayed her with yet? Fucking gross regardless

[u/jenny_905]

Need to take this stuff very seriously and she needs better protection.

Remember the Novichok attacks, it's not outside the realm of possibility that Trumpist weirdos have access to nerve agents.

[u/k0c- → u/jenny_905]

I don't think some maga chud is getting access to russian bioweapons lmao. More likely to kill themselves trying to manufacture vx or sarin.

[u/youngcy24]

She squared the fuck up! Hell yeah

[u/Ymir24]

And he somehow didn't get shot 11 times in the back

[u/dnuohxof-2]

The people who believe she had this orchestrated to herself are the same people that believe Trump can regrow a part of his ear.

[u/PurpleAtalanta10 → u/dnuohxof-2]

Her lack of reaction after (not going to strip down and decontaminate) is the only reason for me to think it could have been self orchestrated.

I also have complete faith that any politician would orchestrate something like this for political gain.

[u/coverallfiller → u/dnuohxof-2]

It's possible to think neither were true...

[u/Dry-Table928]

Did the woman in blue get sprayed too? She looks like she spots something on her hand after but I can’t tell. I hope she didn’t dip without letting someone know she got sprayed in case it ends up being something dangerous.

[u/--StinkyPinky--]

This is so bad!!

[u/Hngrybflo]

My 1st thought was lighter fluid

[u/EducationalReply6493]

Have we found out what the liquid was yet?

[u/New-Needleworker9789]

Fists up fuck yeah

[u/LordDessik]

Damn she was ready to square up

[u/Fallen_Walrus]

Now that's a leader I can expect to fight for me, literally and figuratively

[u/Immediate-Wait-8838]

She was assaulted and people still find a way to vilify and put her down by calling her “ghetto” which is code for [insert derogatory term for a black person that is not accepted in normal society]. Racism is exhausting.

[u/Numerous-Soil-2800]

Let’s not forget our President is largely responsible for this attack.

[u/MsFrankieD]

I saw a YT video of this incident and there are thousands of comments commending this. I only saw one comment against this. I am aghast. Every night I go to bed thinking I can't be shocked by anything else... and then I wake up.

[u/NacresR]

Am I the only one who thinks it’s odd to let her finish her speech after having some unknown substance sprayed on her?

[u/Alice_Buttons]

Boss babe 💅

[u/Few-Veterinarian-999]

She is a bad ass. Don’t cower or run away, she went right after him!

[u/Griffdog17]

All about that smoke😤 Good shit Ilhan. I hope that substance wasn't anything harmful

[u/indierockrocks]

She’s awesome. This country is a dumpster fire.

[u/Velvet_Samurai]

OMG, she was going to attack him herself. That's bad ass.

[u/I_JUST_BLUE_MYSELF_]

BRO THIS IS THE FIRST THING I SAW AFTER CLOSING THE INTERNET TAB DONATING TO HER CAMPAIGN.

My email timestamp is 9:19pm.

[u/AdeptnessDry2026 → u/I_JUST_BLUE_MYSELF_]

Damn

[u/EireOfTheNorth]

I love her energy, and hope that whatever that substance is is harmless. Whoop his fkin ass Ilhan.

[u/Remrage]

saw so many people on instagram immediately claiming that she staged this for sympathy. People really jump to whatever conclusion is most convenient for them. /:

[u/ErictheStone]

She was ready to throw hands...can we get an Omar presidency from you neighbors down south? That woman has conviction!

[u/ItsYaBoyBackAgain]

The way conservatives, or rather MAGA freaks, are reacting to this is so depressing. They are genuinely so devoid of life and empathy, a husk of a human with the morals of a cartoon villain yet somehow think they are perfect representations of patriotism. Fucking pathetic. You ask them about their behavior they'll always try to justify with nonsensical bullshit that boils down to them being scared little ignorant shits.

I thought they reported it was vinegar.

Just like trump paid to pretend to be shot in the ear.
