    “Here is the reality that people like this ugly man don’t understand. We are Minnesota strong and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

    Fuck yeah! Thank you for reminding us what patriotism and leadership look like.

      Racist GOP man attacks woman = safely escorted out

      Nurse helps woman = pepper sprayed, beat and shot in the back multiple times

        We aren’t afraid of them. They’re the scared ones. They’re the ones that need to compensate. We dont need to stoop down to their level to boost our egos.

        We want them to realize they are wrong so they can help fix this shit. We dont want them dead. We can forgive, if amends are attempted.

      Are you assuming they don’t detain him outside? Or do you know that that they just let him go?

      Not sure if police were on hand to arrest or not, but it looks like he was arrested:

      The Office of Rep. Omar issued the following statement after the incident:

      “During her town hall, an agitator tried to attack the Congresswoman by spraying an unknown substance with a syringe. Security and the Minneapolis Police Department quickly apprehended the individual. He is now in custody. The Congresswoman is okay. She continued with her town hall because she doesn’t let bullies win.”

    The video is right there…

    I dunno why people are just reading the headline and wondering what happened.

    Her sprayed her clothes, she instinctively started to beat his ass, hand up and two quick steps, then she saw security and pulled back.

    She says she didn’t know what it was, and just asks for a napkin.

    It’s most likely something dumb like essential oil of Tylenol or something.

    I hate to say this but I really hope it was just pig fat or something. That is horrible to hope its only something like that. Not poison or acid.
