Her immediate reaction says so much about the sentiment we all feel right now.

Excellent Rep in Congress and also a tough cookie. Would you have come straight at an attacker like she did? (Not me, I’m a coward and I’d cringe.) Rep Omar would’ve taken the perp down herself, if the security dude hadn’t stepped up so quickly.

Is she going to be ok?

Have they said what the idiot sprayed at her?

bro she fucking stepped up to that punk too. what legend

I wanna respect the message of defiance she wanted to project by continuing on with the speech…but giirrrlll that’s dumb we don’t wtf he just sprayed you with it could be acid or anthrax or literally anything go get that shit off you
