A man disrupted a town hall meeting with Rep. Ilhan Omar, spraying her with a liquid. The FBI is now handling the case. Investigators found out the liquid was apple cider vinegar. The man, Anthony J. Kazmierczak, was taken into custody for third-degree assault.
Omar kept speaking after the incident. Her team wanted her to take a break and change her clothes, but she refused. She didn't let the attack stop her. Omar's office said she is okay and won't let bullies win.
This happened soon after President Trump spoke at a rally. He made comments about Omar, calling her a fraud. Trump said he didn't watch the video of the attack. He also suggested Omar might have staged it.
Kazmierczak has a history of posting political content online. He has criticized Omar's views on defunding the police. His nephew said Kazmierczak is very passionate about his political beliefs. He also mentioned that his uncle struggles with substance abuse.
The nephew apologized for his uncle's actions. He said his family doesn't support what Kazmierczak did. He believes people should treat each other with respect.
