Most if not all people would be concerned about what was sprayed on them.  Most people would want to get their clothes off and get checked out medically.

But nooooooo, superwoman ill-han omar wanted to soldier on.

Why?

Because she is either extremely stupid or she planned it.  Both are equally feasible.

I saw another angle where you can see her mouth the F word.  Dat lay-dee is a tita and wanted to scrap.

My theory is the guy just wanted to hit her with a couple of taps of FEBREEZE.

News report said it smelled like vinegar.
Vinegar is used to get rid of smells and bugs.
...it's all good.

The comments section on the internet is exploding with theories as to what that liquid was:

Deodorant

Vinegar

Holy water

Febreeze

Fart Juice

Perfume

 

I like how she rushed the “unknown” attacker and he runs away

Straight out of Hollywood girl-boss acting school

If real, this is a failure of her security team as they didn't tell her to go get checked out.  You never know what was sprayed on you.  She went immediatly back to the podium.

her staff, including security were trying to get her to leave...

forgot a double dose of pig blood

A fake incident?
Possibly but I doubt it. Could she actually find someone willing to go to jail to make a stunt to help her?

I can believe she wasn't thinking straight when it came to needing to decon since people don't think as clearly when provoked.

I see news reports saying it was vinegar but haven't seen any mention of what percentage. Vinegar is an acid and at higher concertation can be more dangerous.

Time will tell, if the guy doesn't go to jail or any conviction, then we know it was staged 100%.

if it was highly acidic there would have been a pain response which she did not exhibit. Highly likely it was staged compared to other acid attacks. Omar was not hospitalized.

What if this was done to an Asian person?  I mean, just add shoyu and thanks for the dumpling sauce.  Save 50% of the cost.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA: A hazmat investigation has revealed that
the foul-smelling liquid sprayed on Rep Ilhan Omar during a chaotic town
hall meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, late Tuesday, January 27, was
believed to be apple cider vinegar.
...
Sources told Alpha News that the liquid was apple cider vinegar, a common
household item, rather than a hazardous chemical.

From a security angle, did she know there were no more threats in the audience?  Refusing medical attention was just as stupid as ignoring a potentially on-going threat.

This was a publicly staged reenactment of the Jussie Smollett show.

Could just be coincidence but there was a video where she looked at the "attacker" and nodded a split second before he acted.

It's more convincing when they slowed the video down.

But could be coincidence.  Because Omar is an upstanding American citizen that is honest, sincere, and cares deeply for her constituents, the Nation, and all Americans in her new Somalia.

I saw vids of this and it didn't look like an obvious "nod", it's so small if any that IMO it's being over analyzed.

So you're trying to tell me Ilhan faked an assault?

No way. I just don't see it. She's far too trustworthy.

you are waycist towards Asians
