On January 27, 2026, a man rushed the stage at a Minneapolis town hall and sprayed Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with an unknown liquid from a syringe as she addressed the audience, in a shocking and widely shared incident that has sparked national debate and condemnation from both sides of the aisle.
