"Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, asked his neighbor to watch his dog ahead of the Omar town hall and hinted there could be trouble, according to the New York Post. He said, I'm going to this Omar thing.' I'm like, Omar what? He said, This town hall thing.' And he said, I might get arrested,' neighbor Brian Kelley said. I said, Sure, I'll walk her.' But then the next day he said, Don't worry about it, I've got it covered.' I figured he blew that off."
"At the Minneapolis town hall on Tuesday, a man can be seen rushing towards Omar and then spraying her with something before being taken away. People around the congresswoman noted that liquid smelled terrible, while Omar insisted on continuing the town hall. Omar was calling for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign when she was sprayed. We will continue. This f**king a**hole is not getting away with this, Omar said at the town hall."
A 55-year-old man, Anthony Kazmierczak, allegedly rushed a Minneapolis town hall and sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar with a substance that attendees described as foul-smelling. Omar continued the event and called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign while denouncing the attacker. Kazmierczak was arrested and booked on a third-degree assault charge. A neighbor said Kazmierczak had warned he might get arrested, had health issues including Parkinson's, and had been on pain medication since a car crash. The incident occurred amid protests over recent fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents.
