‘STAGED?’: Shocking New Theories Emerge After Ilhan Omar ‘Attack’

Ilhan Omar is facing online claims that she staged her own attack after President Trump suggested “she probably had herself sprayed.”

The Minnesota Democrat, 43, was hit with an unknown vinegar-smelling liquid from a syringe during a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday.

Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, was charged with third-degree assault in the incident.

But Omar’s reaction in the moments after the spraying set off a wave of skepticism on social media, with critics pointing to what they say were odd inconsistencies.

Video of the incident shows the congresswoman moving toward Kazmierczak with her fist clenched immediately after the liquid was sprayed on her upper body.

“If someone randomly sprayed me with a substance, I’d be running to the nearest bathroom to wash my eyes and skin or straight to the hospital,” said MAGA comedian Terrence Williams.

Others focused on footage appearing to show Omar “nodding” toward Kazmierczak shortly before the attack, moments after she called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be fired.

Ian Miles Cheong, a conservative provocateur, wrote on X: “Holy s***. Look at how Ilhan Omar looks at the guy who sprayed her and gives him a little nod right before he springs into action.”

Former Fox Business host Trish Regan also weighed in online, questioning Omar’s response.

“Ilhan Omar was reportedly sprayed in the face tonight and she runs at the attacker? As though she’s about to take him out? This is not normal behavior. Not even close. No wonder people are asking if it was staged,” Regan posted.

Just before the attack, Omar had told the crowd: “DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment.”

Authorities say Kazmierczak then ran toward Omar and sprayed her with the syringe while telling her to step down because she is “tearing Minnesota apart.”

Omar appeared ready to confront him before security dragged him away, as she muttered, “F**king a**hole.”

Police immediately arrested Kazmierczak, and forensic teams were called to the scene.

Omar continued her remarks for about 25 minutes after the man was removed, telling the audience she would not be intimidated. As she left the venue, Omar said she felt shaken but was not hurt and planned to be screened by a medical team.

“I’ve survived war. I’m definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people throw at me because I’m built that way,” the Mogadishu-born congresswoman told reporters.
