Why do people thing she would stage this? During a town hall in Minneapolis, Rep. Ilhan Omar was unexpectedly sprayed with an unknown substance by a man in the audience — right as she was speaking about immigration and calling for the Homeland Security secretary to resign. Security tackled the man and police arrested him on third-degree assault charges. Omar wasn’t injured and continued the event after a brief pause. This moment was intense, but she kept going — and the message was loud and clear: Let me know in the comments — what’s your reaction to someone crossing that line?
