A suspect has been identified in the spray liquid assault on Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota on Tuesday night. He’s Anthony Kazmierczak, 55. Additional information on him has not been made available.

Kazmierczak allegedly charged Omar while she was delivering remarks at a town hall meeting in north Minneapolis.

As Omar was speaking, Kazmierczak, who was sitting in the front row, stood up approached her with what Minneapolis police have said was a syringe filled with amber liquid. He got close enough to spray the liquid on the congressional representative. He then appeared to stagger to his right, shouting something that on video was unintelligible.

Event security immediately tackled Kazmierczak and restrained him, while Omar herself took a few steps of her own towards him, before returning to the podium area, where she regrouped with her team.

I reported on the details of the meeting when the news first broke.

Members of the audience said that Kazmierczak shouted, “You must resign” to Omar before being apprehended.

Oddly, instead of listening to her team when they told her to be examined, along with the liquid that landed on her clothing, Omar's response was, "That is what they want." She then proceeded to resume her remarks to the audience. She didn't even appear to be intent on treating the affected clothing.

When speaking to the group, she said, "We will continue. These f------ a--holes are not going to get away with this.”
