Trump Has Theory That Would be Incredibly Wild if True After Viral Omar Attack
Trump Questions Authenticity of Omar Attack: ‘She Probably Had Herself Sprayed’
President Donald Trump dismissed the recent attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar, calling the Minnesota congresswoman “a fraud” and suggesting she may have orchestrated the incident herself.
The president’s comments came in response to footage showing Omar being sprayed with an unknown substance from a syringe during a North Minneapolis town hall meeting.
When asked by ABC News if he had watched the video, Trump offered a blunt assessment.
“No. I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud. I really don’t think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her,” the president stated.
Trump emphasized that he had not viewed the footage and expressed no particular interest in doing so.
“I hope I don’t have to bother,” he added.
The incident occurred while Omar addressed constituents about the recent Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti.
During her remarks, the congresswoman demanded accountability from the Department of Homeland Security.
“DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment,” Omar declared to the assembled crowd, moments before the confrontation.
A 55-year-old man identified as Anthony J. Kazmierczak rushed toward the stage and discharged a mystery liquid at Omar from a syringe.
He shouted demands for her resignation, accusing the representative of “tearing Minnesota apart” before security personnel intervened.
According to an Associated Press journalist present at the scene, the substance produced a strong vinegar-like odor.
Forensic scientists were called to examine the device, which contained what appeared to be a light-brown liquid.
Omar’s immediate response to the assault was defiant.
She used profanity to describe her attacker and refused suggestions from attendees that she seek medical attention immediately.
“We will continue. These f**king a**holes are not going to get away with it,” Omar told the crowd, choosing to press forward with the event.
She added pointed remarks directed at Kazmierczak.
“Here is the reality that people like this ugly man don’t understand: We are Minnesota strong,” the congresswoman said.
WATCH:
Odd that sweater wasn't taken off and she wasn't rushed to a medical center to be tested for poison.

That should have been a reasonable concern.
Instead, she stays stinky, finishes her speech and later meets with press. Odd.
Kazmierczak was taken into custody and booked at the county jail on third-degree assault charges.
He is being held without bail, according to spokesperson Trevor Folke.
Social media profiles associated with Kazmierczak show images of President Trump, including one featuring Trump with Erika Kirk, widow of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
The United States Capitol Police released a statement confirming the arrest and emphasizing the seriousness of assaulting a member of Congress.
“Tonight, a man is in custody after he decided to assault a Member of Congress – an unacceptable decision that will be met with swift justice,” a spokesperson announced, according to the Daily Mail.
The agency praised the quick response from security personnel and local law enforcement, adding they would pursue maximum charges to deter similar violence.
Omar, who fled war-torn Somalia as a child, addressed the attack briefly after resuming the town hall.
“I have survived war and I’m definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I’m built that way,” she declared.
The congresswoman later posted on social media, writing: “I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.”
Omar continued the town hall for approximately 25 minutes following the incident. Her office confirmed she was unharmed and determined to fulfill her duties to constituents.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the assault. “Unacceptable. Violence and intimidation have no place in Minneapolis. We can disagree without putting people at risk,” Frey stated.
Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, also denounced the attack despite policy disagreements with Omar. “I am deeply disturbed to learn that Rep. Ilhan Omar was attacked at a town hall today,” Mace wrote on social platform X.
“Regardless of how vehemently I disagree with her rhetoric – and I do – no elected official should face physical attacks. This is not who we are.”

The town hall marked Omar’s first public event since the fatal ICE shootings involving Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis.
She called for abolishing the agency, stating: “ICE cannot be reformed.”
