When I saw her fist cocked and ready, I was immediately like "Damn, you can tell it's not her first, second, or even third rodeo!"

As far as I'm concerned she should run for Senate!

Ilhan Omar is one of the best US politicians who actually cares about her constituents but gets insane levels of hate from the radical right and maga because she is Somali and an immigrant. That’s why it’s important to defend her from the fascists.

There is a pen in her hand. She didn't just go on the attack. She improvised, used the nearest weapons-shaped object and then went on the attack.

Dude was lucky that security handled him before Omar did.

I am incredibly anxious and paranoid about unknown fluids, having worked in laboratories where some of the chemicals are very very dangerous. I am glad she is Ok, and I hope they ID the stuff in the syringe or at least determine it’s not super hazardous.
