Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is assaulted by a protester during her first town hall meeting in her district of Minneapolis amid ongoing tension and protest of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The protester jumps out of his seat and charges the representative before reportedly throwing a substance on her. This came following her call on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

It’s going to keep escalating. Wonder when this will mirror the Caning of Charles Sumner.

    Let’s not jump to conclusions. That doesn’t appear to be what happened here.

      I’m not talking about this event in particular, I’m talking about the assumptions you have to make when responding to events like this. Because your response will influence what others do in the future.
