A man rushed toward Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and sprayed her with an unknown substance during a town hall event in Minneapolis Tuesday night.
Video from the room captured members of the crowd yelling that the man had “sprayed her” as staff and security intervened. Omar immediately pressed to keep the event going, demanding to continue the town hall even as aides assessed the situation.
