Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is assaulted by a protester during her first town hall meeting in her district of Minneapolis amid ongoing tension and protest of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The protester jumps out of his seat and charges the representative before reportedly throwing a substance on her. This came following her call on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

It’s going to keep escalating. Wonder when this will mirror the Caning of Charles Sumner.

    It looked like a gel but that’s just a best guess.

    I gave pepper spray that’s a gel.

    Maybe that’s what it was. Maybe not.

        Well the gel kind of different. But other people are saying it was urine in a syringe. Maybe pig urine.

        I think any liquid shot out of a syringe could look like a gel . So I’m probably wrong.
