Man Sprays Ilhan Omar at Minneapolis Town Hall

Outlets agree that a man sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar with liquid at a Minneapolis town hall and was arrested; Omar continued speaking after a break. Left-leaning outlets center Omar’s rejection of staged-attack claims and her account of threats following Trump’s rhetoric. Center outlets mostly describe the attack, arrest, Omar’s remarks and the investigation. Right-leaning outlets often foreground doubts that the attack was genuine, while some focus instead on criticism of media scrutiny of Trump or calls for prosecution.
