MINNEAPOLIS (TNND) — A man in a black jacket was tackled to the ground and escorted out of the building by security after spraying an unknown substance on U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town hall she was hosting in Minneapolis on Tuesday.
“Here’s 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,” Omar said after the man was escorted away.
