This woman probably gets a lot of death threats, I would imagine, our current culture tragically being what it is. So her initial reaction after being sprayed with some unknown fluid, I believe, was highly unnatural and immediately suspect.

Then, for her to instantly attempt to go for him!? That was totally off the charts unnatural, if not wholly irrational under such apparently threatening circumstances.

The whole thing smells to high heaven that it was a stunt. And pretty bad one at that.

It’s because she’s brave and cool, idiot.

So the leftist immediately goes to name calling. No filter. Shocking (not)

Pure political theatre. It sounds as if the useful idiot was convinced to spray Omar with vinegar. Sorry Silly Illy, this is not your “Fight, fight, fight” moment. Her pathetic loser vibes are in full swing here.

Just wondering...what constitutes "acid colored"? the few acids I have dealt with have been clear...I'm guessing you got that particular phrase from a media report? The only reason I ask is that it is a rather odd turn of phrase...

It's called a CNNism. This whole thing is a hoax. She had the guy (obviously whacked) up front and center. She didn't budge or react and the camera man jumped into action amost before the perp finished spraying. Puleeze.

Probably apple cider vinegar

That would be my guess…terrifying, isn’t it….

I read that this was indeed confirmed by investigators.

Confirmed. Personally. I'd have used white vinegar

This has all the smell of Jussie Smollett 2.0—same script, same timing, same media credulity. A syringe, a mystery liquid, instant victim canonization, and wall-to-wall coverage before basic questions are asked. All that was missing was the MAGA hat and a shouted slogan for the chyron writers. When narratives form faster than facts, skepticism isn’t cruelty—it’s duty. Real political violence deserves justice; staged or facilitated theater deserves exposure and prosecution. We’ve seen this movie before: emotional spectacle first, truth buried later. Until a federal investigation answers who knew what and when, this isn’t a hate crime—it’s a credibility test.

Given her fake winery and other shenanigans, a hate hoax is likely. Why this woman hasn't been investigated and shamed out of Congress is beyond belief. https://open.substack.com/pub/zoneofsulphur/p/the-amazing-ilhan-omar?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=4c4akx

That alleged attempt on Ilhan Omar (where she then chased the guy but never washed her face) was as real as "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."

Looked staged to me.

IMHO -The whole thing looks suspicious. This guy was used by his ex-wife to pull off this stunt. Omar knew exactly who he was. Most likely promised him something or paid to do it. Probably done to so Omar could get sympathy (not working) and to detract from Omar’s fraud issues under review by Congress.

Never ending Hoax marathon Narrativenewsnetworks

At first this seemed like a crime of hate.

But now with interesting tidbits being revealed I'm leaning towards a Hate Hoax by the sister who married her brother, ilhan nur

What about Omar's political career hasn't been a hoax?

Stephanie's avatar

Her reaction indicates that she anticipated the attack. This stunt garners no sympathy from the public for her fraudulent activities. Omar fails to grasp that she is no longer welcome in America. Americans are indifferent to her motives; we know from her own statements that she detests America and the freedoms and liberties it provides to all its citizens. Trump and his administration will ensure her removal from Congress and deportation. I voted for this.

Any NORMAL person would have spent at least a few minutes trying to get the liquid off the skin. I just assumed from her confrontational bravery that none of the liquid got on her, but if it did, then this is really looking like a hoax.

If this a poll, my choice is Definitely Hate Hoax.

SH's avatar

Melinda Johnson's avatar

Ok so it’s ok if staged planned attacks on ICE agents are ok but a planned staged a attack against a politician is not. Humm. 🤨

Ok so it’s ok if staged planned attacks on ICE agents are accomplished, but a planned staged attack against a politician is not. Humm. 🤨 Backwards logic.
