Witnesses say the man yelled something as security tackled him to the ground and restrained him. The exact nature of the substance remains unclear, but those nearby immediately expressed alarm.
One attendee could be heard shouting, “Oh my God! He sprayed something on her!”
The room quickly descended into confusion as security attempted to assess the situation. Despite the danger and uncertainty, Omar initially resisted efforts to shut down the event or remove her from the area.
In a heated moment captured by witnesses, Omar reportedly shouted, “We will continue! This f*cking ahole is not going to get away with it!”**
Others present were far less confident that continuing was safe. Several individuals urged Omar to stop the event immediately and seek medical attention.
“No! No! Ilhan, we need to go get checked out,” one person insisted.
Another voice from the crowd emphasized the seriousness of the situation, saying, “Whatever it is smells so bad! She needs to get checked! I don’t know what that was! It’s not about him, it’s about your safety! He sprayed something on you!”
Even Omar’s own security detail appeared alarmed. Her bodyguard attempted to escort her away from the stage, but Omar physically resisted and argued to stay.
“Just give me 10 minutes. I beg of you,” Omar pleaded with security.
Despite the unfolding danger, Omar reportedly continued the event and resumed attacking DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, refusing to leave the venue right away. Her insistence on continuing raised eyebrows among both supporters and critics, as many questioned whether political messaging was being prioritized over basic safety.
Meanwhile, Kazmierczak was taken into custody at the scene. Authorities later confirmed he was charged with third-degree assault. As of now, there has been no public confirmation regarding what substance was sprayed or whether it posed a medical risk.
WATCH:
The incident has sparked renewed debate over security protocols for elected officials, especially during public events. Members of Congress typically receive protective measures, yet this attacker managed to breach the perimeter and reach the podium within seconds.
Critics argue that the situation exposes a troubling lapse in event security and raises concerns about how easily political violence—or worse—could occur. If a man can approach a lawmaker with an unknown substance in a crowded room, what else could slip through?
The irony of the moment has not gone unnoticed. Omar had just moments earlier demanded the resignation or impeachment of the DHS Secretary—an agency tasked with national security—when her own event security failed in dramatic fashion.
As more details emerge, questions remain unanswered. How did Kazmierczak gain access so easily? Was he screened? Were security measures relaxed? And what exactly was sprayed on the congresswoman?
For now, Americans are left with unsettling footage, unanswered questions, and yet another reminder that political tensions in this country continue to spill into dangerous territory.
