Omar continued speaking after the incident despite staff urging her to get "checked out," telling the audience she was okay and stating that she had "survived war" and is "definitely going to survive intimidation" by such attacks.

The attack occurred as Omar called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and demanded that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem resign or face impeachment, following recent fatal shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis, including 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti on Saturday.

U.S. President Donald Trump had earlier promised an investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti, though he also cast blame on Pretti for carrying a legally permitted weapon that had been seized before he was fatally shot.

In an X post, Representative Nancy Mace condemned the attack, stating that "Regardless of how vehemently I disagree with her rhetoric - and I do - no elected official should face physical attacks. This is not who we are."

The attack on Omar looks completely staged to manufacture sympathy and play the victim card. Moving toward an assailant after being sprayed and casually asking for a napkin instead of fearing acid or biological weapons defies all logic. This reeks of a false-flag operation designed to boost her declining popularity.

The assault on Omar during a town hall represents an alarming escalation of political violence against elected officials. Nonstop dangerous rhetoric has directly fueled these attacks, making it clear that hateful speech has real-world consequences. Standing resilient against such violence is exactly what Minnesota represents.
