The courage this lady has is greater than literally the entire current regime. Insane. She shouldn’t need it though!
Dude came at her with a hypo from short range. If he wasn’t such a schmuck she may not be here.
Fucked up.

Holy shit. What a psychopath. I cringe to think of what was in that syringe.
My guess is someone under the GOP sent him.
Directly, probably not. Their incendiary rhetoric is enough to get whackjobs like him to do things like this.
We need her more than ever. Donate again! https://ilhanomar.com/
I saw this clip on YouTube and naturally checked out the comments. Lots of chuds calling it staged. Not as staged as Trump’s staged shooting though! 😂
We’ll see, if she wears a bandaid on her ear for a few days then is magically healed
Very impressed with how she handled it. Put that moron UNDER the prison.
What was the liquid?
Last I heard forensics was still analyzing it.
Looks like piss. But I’m curious too, he still had like 1/4 of it left in the syringe.
That’s what I came to the comments for. Replying to check back later when it’s confirmed and I’ll update if I find it elsewhere.
Right wing agitators have no place in political discourse
My first reactions was that It does look staged, because of how awkward the attack is and her reaction after the attack. Gives me similar vibes as the Trump assasination attempt.
Dont known of many people who would charge their attacker unless they see the attack coming. I certainly would not, I am not a brave person.
Unlike the Trump assasination though, their is no possibility of a “hidden shooter” and someone being setup as the attacker. So that swings it to a real attack for me.
Damn I hate how we have to think these days.
EDIT: to clarify, I don’t think it is fake.

You ever get into a fight in real life? Or have anything like this happen to you where someone tries to attack you? It’s often awkward. It isn’t the movies. People haven’t trained for fifteen years with a sensei before attacking someone else at a public event. The awkwardness is a sign that it’s real instead of that it is staged. And you never know exactly how you’ll behave during something like this until it happens.
Or to put it into song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P89X-j-TWVE
I have gotten into a fight yes, my reaction was to back off, the guys grabbed and cornered me, I started fighting back and everyone just sort-of flopped onto the ground before some bystanders assisted. It was super awkward.
I take your point that the attackers actions were realistic due to the awkwardness. Its more her reaction that was unexpected from my perspective. Its not how I would have reacted. I will jump in to defend others, but when I am being attacked, my first reaction is to run.
“I survived war. I’m built different.” -Ilhan after the conference. She likely has very different life experience than you.

It’s called fight or flight reaction for a reason, dude. Apparently, her instinct in this one was fight.
It’s fair to critically analyze things. Regardless of the time, it’s a healthy thing to do, else you get sucked up into the propaganda on either end.
I think this one is real. The guy was super weird and shuffly throughout the video until he finally did it.
Reality is awkward sometimes. If you’d seen me at baseball camp you’d have been wondering if I was an enemy plant.
Yeah, that is what finally convinced me it was not staged.
