‘He sprayed something on her!’: Ilhan Omar attacked by syringe-wielding MAGA lunatic, refuses to back down

"I don’t let bullies win."

Rep. Ilhan Omar arrived in Minneapolis last night to give her first in-person town hall of 2026. Tensions were high: ICE goons have been specifically targeting the Somali American community for weeks and Omar in particular is held up by Donald Trump as a symbol of all that he thinks is wrong with the country.

Omar didn’t hold back, demanding that ICE be shut down “for good” and calling for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to be booted out of her job. After only a few minutes, a screaming lunatic emerged from the crowd wielding a syringe, spraying the contents over her.

Omar appeared to square up to her assailant, only for her security guard to tackle him to the floor as onlookers gasped. Those present immediately surrounded Omar, with Minneapolis council member LaTrisha Vetaw pleading with her to end the town hall immediately. Omar responded: “We will continue! These f–king assholes are not going to get away with it!”

And continue she did, returning to the podium to tell those present that:

“Here is the reality that people like this ugly man don’t understand, is that we are Minnesota strong. I learned at a young age that you don’t give into threats.”

Who was this moron?

The attacker was later identified on social media as 55-year-old Andy Kazmierczak who, as you can probably already guess, appears to be a die-hard MAGA supporter:

Omar herself later clarified that she’s unharmed, but underlined that she will not bow down to these moronic bullies:

All too predictably, MAGA instantly concluded that this must be a “false flag” attack and that Omar had orchestrated the incident. Let’s be fair here, if you were MAGA and saw this drooling idiot lunging out of the crowd, you’d desperately clutch at straws for any version of events that let you believe he’s not really associated with you.

But this psycho is the true face of MAGA: incoherent, screaming, unkempt, a head full of lies, and whose brainrot has now permanently ruined his life. But Kazmierczak is just a mindless pawn. The true culprit here is Donald Trump, whose speeches indicate he’s doing everything in his power to get Omar killed.
