"The court documents included a photo of the syringe filled with liquid, adding, the liquid stained her clothes, and may have reached her face and right eye. A hazmat specialist tested the liquid and found it to be a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar, the documents said. The documents further revealed that after allegedly spraying Omar, Kazmierczak appeared to say, She's not resigning. You're splitting Minnesotans apart."
Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an initially unidentified liquid from a syringe while speaking at a Minneapolis town hall. President Trump suggested Omar staged the incident, saying she probably had herself sprayed. Federal prosecutors charged 55-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak with forcibly assaulting, opposing, impeding and intimidating a federal officer while she performed congressional duties. Court documents state Kazmierczak stood from the audience, approached Omar, sprayed the liquid and was subdued by security. A hazmat test found the liquid was a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar, and Kazmierczak allegedly voiced political remarks after the incident.
