Ilhan Omar accuses Trump of being ‘obsessed’ with her as police identify potential liquid sprayed at her during town hall attack

Ilhan Omar claimed that Donald Trump had ‘dementia’ after hearing his reaction to his supporter who attacked him with a syringe full of apple cider vinegar at the city hall.

The congressman reacted to the attack by 55-year-old Anthony J. Kazmierczak with a ‘bad’ liquid, after Trump said ‘I don’t think about that’.

‘He was on stage last night a few minutes before I was attacked, talking about me, and it’s ironic that when asked about my attack he said “I don’t think about that.”‘

He asked: ‘Doesn’t he remember? Does he have dementia? How do you spend 20-30 minutes on stage over and over thinking about my name and then a few minutes later you’re like, “Ilhan Omar? I’m not thinking about her.” you say.’

Trump railed against Omar during a rally in Iowa on Tuesday night, just before the attack in North Minneapolis.

The president criticized Omar while speaking to a crowd in Iowa, saying her administration would only allow immigrants who “can show they love our country.”

“He is not like İlhan Omar, they should be proud,” he said, and was loudly booed when his name was mentioned.

He added: ‘He comes from a country that is a disaster. So it’s probably not even a country.’

Omar said Trump is particularly responsible for the amount of death threats he has received.

‘Since taking elected office, the facts have shown that whenever the President of the United States chooses to use hateful rhetoric about me and the community I represent, my death threats skyrocket,’ he said.

The congressman noted that death threats against him “dropped” during Joe Biden’s presidency.

When asked if he was nervous about going out in public, he said: ‘Fear and intimidation don’t work on me.’

The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.

It is believed that the syringe was filled with apple cider vinegar. Alpha News reportedReferring to hazmat teams.

Kazmierczak was charged with third-degree assault and remains held in the Hennepin County Jail without bail.

He has a criminal past and has made online posts supporting the Republican president.

Minnesota court records show Kazmierczak, 55, was convicted of auto theft in 1989, had multiple arrests for driving under the influence and received numerous traffic tickets.

There are also indications that he is experiencing significant financial problems, including two bankruptcy filings.

In social media posts, Kazmierczak criticized former President Joe Biden and called Democrats “angry and liars.” ‘He wants the United States to be stronger and more prosperous,’ Trump wrote. ‘Prevent other countries from stealing from us.’

In another post, Kazmierczak asked: ‘Will descendants of slaves compensate the families of Union soldiers for freeing them/dying for them rather than not sending them back to Africa?’

Kazmierczak’s brother told Independent He said he was “not surprised” by his brother’s behavior.

‘Like hell. “Unfortunately, both he and my mother are far-right extremists,” he said, and the brother, who did not give his name, said he had not spoken to her.

He said his brother had long disliked Omar and “had harbored hatred towards the Somali community for probably 20 years.”

‘He has so much anger, I have no idea where it’s coming from. He was always like this. ‘He had been in and out of treatment since he was a child.’

Omar has faced renewed scrutiny from Republicans in the wake of the Minnesota daycare scandal. On Tuesday night, President Trump criticized her again at a rally with his base in Iowa.

Kazmierczak confronted Omar after she called for Kristi Noem to resign while speaking about the Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti at North Minneapolis city hall.

“DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or be removed,” Omar says in footage of the incident.

Kazmierczak ran towards Omar and sprayed him with the substance from a syringe.

He then told Omar to resign and claimed she was ‘tearing Minnesota apart’ before being dragged away by security guards.

Omar appeared ready to confront Kazmierczak before he was dragged away, to which Kazmierczak shouted “Damn!” he muttered.

He then responds to the crowd’s inaudible question by saying ‘I don’t know’ and tells another member of his team that he needs napkins.

When a bystander told Omar that he needed to check what was being sprayed on him, Omar stood where he was and said: ‘We’ll continue. These fucking bastards won’t get away with this.’

‘Here’s the truth that people like this ugly man don’t understand: We are strong in Minnesota.’

HE After Trump was hit with allegations that he faked his own attack ‘He probably had himself sprayed with drugs,’ he said.

‘NO. I don’t think about it. I think he’s a fraud. I don’t really think about it. “The president probably had himself sprayed because he knew him,” he said. ABC News when he asked if she had watched the clip.

He reiterated that he had not seen the video and added: ‘I hope I don’t have to bother.’

The attack came just days after a man was arrested in Utah for allegedly punching Florida Democratic Congressman Maxwell Frost in the face during the Sundance Film Festival and saying Trump would deport him.

Capitol Police said threat assessment incidents against members of Congress, their families, staff and the Capitol Complex increased for the third year in a row.

In 2025, USCP’s Threat Assessment Section (TAS) investigated 14,938 individuals regarding statements, behaviors, and communications, an increase of 57 percent.

“While security has already improved on the Capitol Grounds, we are strengthening our partnerships with law enforcement agencies across the country to keep Members of Congress safe while away from Capitol Hill,” said U.S. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan.

‘We want to make sure institutions have the resources they need to improve the protection that is critical to the democratic process.’
