Apple cider vinegar suspected in spray on Rep. Omar at Minnesota town hall
TL;DR
Forensic analysis concluded the unknown liquid sprayed at Rep. Ilhan Omar during a north Minneapolis town hall was likely apple cider vinegar; the attacker, 55-year-old Anthony J. Kazmierczak, was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault after lunging at Omar, who continued addressing the crowd. CNN corroborated the substance, and Kazmierczak has a history of posts ridiculing Omar's stance on defunding police. The incident occurred after a Trump rally and did not stop Omar's participation in the event.
