Omar was immediately pulled away by her security and the unidentified man was tackled and restrained by security. Omar appeared to be shaken, but largely unharmed.

"We will continue. These f--king a--holes are not going to get away with this," Omar shouted as the room reacted.

"It smells terrible," a member of her entourage said as she urged her to stop and get checked out.

The incident happened as Omar was hosting her first in-person town hall meeting of the year in North Minneapolis.

I thought maybe it was bug spray..

[Hoodat]

Pig piss?

[libertybele]

For being a member of Congress she sure has a filthy mouth.

[Sighlass]

Silly Stream (harmless) if I was to guess.

[Free Vulcan]

She probably paid him to do it.

[mountaineer]

Assuming it wasn't staged, it isn't acceptable to assault a member of Congress - though dousing her with Lysol may not be a bad idea.

Excerpt:
The incident at Rep. Ilhan Omar’s town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday night has sparked immediate skepticism across social media, with many calling it a potential “Jussie Smollett-style” staged event. A man charged the stage and sprayed Omar with an unknown substance while she was speaking. Security quickly tackled the suspect and pulled Omar away. She returned shortly after, visibly shaken but unharmed, shouting, “We will continue. These f–king a–holes are not going to get away with this,” while someone in her entourage noted, “It smells terrible.” No one was seriously injured, and the suspect was restrained. The motive remains unknown, and the man’s identity has not been released.



Some people sprayed something!

She’s trying to cover this new fraud up!

[240B]

I thought it was staged from the first time I saw it. Nobody would react to charge at the guy.
That spray could have been ANYTHING, including some kind of poison or biological.
And yet, she REFUSED to get medically checked out and cleared.

It seems clear to me that Omar was attempting to create her very own Donald Trump moment.

[bigheadfred]

100% fake. And gay.

[American Girl]

Excerpt:
President Trump’s blunt dismissal of the alleged assault on Rep. Ilhan Omar at her Minneapolis town hall has only fueled suspicions that the incident may have been staged. When asked if he had seen the video of Omar being sprayed with an unknown substance by a man who charged the stage, Trump replied with characteristic candor: “No. I don't think about her. I think she's a fraud. I really don't think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.” Pressed again, he added, “I haven't seen it. No, no. I hope I don't have to bother.”




And that’s why people love Trump.
How has Omar amassed $30 million?

People are asking, “What did he spray”?  I say it was probably febreze.

Fake

I believe it is fake also...her continuing to speak even after she said the substance *smelled* says it all..first reaction would be to remove your clothes etc...not stand there and talk...

(Updated) MN Rep. Ilhan Omar Sprayed With Unknown Substance at Town Hall Event

excerpt:

https://twitter.com/jayobtv/status/2016314922460696766

"Here is 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. Everybody, settle down. I'm going to finish my remarks. It is important for me to continue to lead my Democratic colleagues in demanding her resignation."

[Bigun]

My wife informed me that it was fake 30 seconds after seeing it. My wife is never wrong!

[catfish1957]

I guess she found a copy of "Wag the Dog" movie, and it  had some Somalian sub titles.

[mountaineer]

Good to see she isn't missing any meals. Having $30 million on hand makes calling Door Dash a lot more doable, I guess.

Some possible support for the theory that it was staged:

@DataRepublican
Representative Omar continued her town hall because of one of two options:
1. She does not have the self-preservation instincts accompanying being sprayed with a smelly substance, such as getting a doctor to check it out or even as simple as washing it off.
2. She staged it.
There are no other options.

Serious question:  If a member of Congress is attacked and sprayed with an unknown substance…
Why wouldn’t security and emergency staff step in to assess the substance before allowing the event to continue?
Shouldn’t that have happened immediately?

I'd be worrying it was something caustic or dangerous in some way. Running after the guy, screaming curses, is one response, I guess.

Watch for a settlement in a few weeks that drops the charge or converts it to a noncriminal violation.

Staged as hell.  No acting awards in her immediate future. 

[Camp]

I think it was holy water blessed by the Pope.

That would explain the odor only on her.

[catfish1957]

We need Nick Shirley, James O'Keefe or some other energetic young conservative investigator to do a deep dive on exactly who the perp was.

Ihan Smollette might regret this little stunt.,

[mountaineer]

From what people have gleaned from social media (and posted on X), the "perp" is a heavy drinking father of two gender-confused left-wing offspring. The left is screaming "MAGA!" but there's no evidence yet of his personal political views.

Addendum: His ex-wife apparently is a lefty.

If they ever get to prosecuting somebody wake me up!

[Canuck Conservative]

How do we know Omar didn't set it up herself? With her leftist pals?

So she could get sympathy as a poor victim of hatred?

Guy aimed uselessly at her chest (covered in clothes), not her face ... wouldn't a real attacker try to spray her head??

Exactly.

The simplest answer is typically the correct one.

I wonder if she paid with a check like Smollet did?

You'll likely need an extra comfy pillow and comforter (sigh).

I mean if she really wants someone to spray her with something, I'm happy to buy the guy some Fart in a Can, no problem.

She enjoys a double dutch oven.  The flavor savor is in the head scarf.

The malodorous substance sprayed on Representative Ilhan Omar at a town hall meeting has been identified as Somali food. A man seated on the front row of the town hall suddenly rose and began shouting at Omar midway through the event before spraying her with Somali cuisine that had been fed through a blender. "Oof. It smells like rice and bananas," said security guard Jim Palmer as he secured Omar.

I also think we should change her name to Stinky Spice.

Yep. Women are particularly good at reading non-verbal cues. It was 100% fake and 100% ridiculous.

Ilhan Omar backed by House Republicans after Minnesota town hall attack
Both conservative and moderate Republicans quickly condemned the attack on Omar
By Elizabeth Elkind Fox News
Published January 28, 2026 9:29am EST

House Republicans are coalescing around progressive "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., after she was attacked during a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday night.

"This is totally unacceptable. I am glad Rep. Omar is okay," Rep. Pete Stauber, R-Minn., wrote on X in response to a video of the incident.

It's a rare show of bipartisanship in the face of political violence that has become common in recent years amid increasingly volatile rhetoric on both sides.

Support for Omar came from both conservative and moderate Republicans after a man appeared to confront her and spray a substance on her before he was quickly subdued at her public event.

"Political, religious, and ideological differences never justify violence," Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, wrote of the attack. "Those who resort to violence to make a political point should understand that such actions only undermine the very rights that form the foundation of our Republic."

Rep. Tom Barrett, R-Mich., noted that political violence against members of Congress had been escalating for some time.

"The assault on Congresswoman Omar is disturbing and unacceptable, and the attacker must be prosecuted and punished to the full extent of the law," he said in his own statement. "This attack is the latest of thousands of acts and threats of violence directed against Congress over the past year, resulting in a 57% increase just since 2024."

Moderate Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., similarly said Wednesday morning, "I condemn the attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar that occurred yesterday."

So the fake attack worked.  It got her what she wanted from it.  Why are republicans so damned stupid and gullible?
