US EditionFBI probes attack on Democrat Ilhan Omar as she blames Trump
Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed with apple cider vinegar by a 55-year-old man at a Minneapolis town hall; the FBI has launched an investigation into the politically motivated assault.
- On Tuesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar was attacked at a Minneapolis town hall when 55-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak rushed the podium and sprayed apple cider vinegar from a syringe before being arrested and held at Hennepin County Jail for third-degree assault.
- Her office linked the attack to anti-Somali sentiment and online right-wing activity, noting the alleged attacker followed multiple right-wing accounts and harbored long-standing anti-Somali views.
- After the man was tackled, Rep. Ilhan Omar insisted she would finish her remarks and continued taking questions for about 30 minutes while security personnel intervened immediately.
- The FBI took over the probe on Wednesday and has not disclosed a motive, while President Donald Trump suggested Omar staged the attack, and MAGA movement and Republican lawmakers blamed her.
- Rep. Ilhan Omar says her death threats spike when the president uses what she called `hateful rhetoric`, requiring six Capitol Police officers for continuous detail as she insists on holding in-person town halls despite risks to the Somali immigrant community in Minnesota.
