Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was attacked by a protester during a town hall Tuesday evening just as she called for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
The man, who has yet to be identified, sat in the front row and waited until about 30 minutes into the event to stand up and begin shouting. He then lunged toward the podium and appeared to spray something on the congresswoman while yelling that she should resign.
“Whatever it is smells so bad, she needs to go get checked,” LaTrisha Vetaw, a Minneapolis city council member, could be heard saying.
