Minnesota congresswoman unbowed after attacked with liquid
The Somali-born US lawmaker, a constant target of Donald Trump's attacks, had just called for the president's homeland security chief to resign in the wake of immigration agents killing two US citizens in a matter of weeks.
The attacker, identified by police as 55-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak, managed to spray Omar before he was tackled and removed from the Tuesday meeting in Minneapolis. She was unharmed, police said.
Yet before he was even grabbed, Omar stepped rapidly toward the attacker with her fist raised.
