I saw this clip on YouTube and naturally checked out the comments. Lots of chuds calling it staged. Not as staged as Trump’s staged shooting though! 😂
Honestly, I don’t normally comment either way because it’s just speculation until evidence is presented, but my spidey senses did perk up.
She goes up to the guy a little too confidently as if she knows what she has to do, then she shows no concern for the unknown substance he sprayed on her from the syringe.
I’m not a Trump supporter, and have no agenda.
Lol. Lmao even.
So, you’re using body language to read this? Holy fuck.
It is entirely possibly, nay, fucking probable that she assumed he wanted to speak to her. She is, rather unsurprisingly, a fairly nice person, and quite personable. I have been to a couple of her events because she’s my congressperson. Fuck off with this conspiracy horseshit.
But also let’s talk about this: She shows no concern about the substance sprayed on her?
Have you ever been assaulted? Because fuck you. Everyone expects victims to be perfect. “Why didn’t you fight back or run away or call for help or blah blah blah?” Victim-blaming mentality is what that is. “Why didn’t you do X?” is the number one statement for people that have never been in a bad situation say to people who have. It is, quite honestly, disgusting.
Read up on trauma responses and let me know when you realize you’re wrong.
LMAO, she stepped to him like a fucking BOSS. Even before security grabbed him, she was ready to take that shit head out.
You obviously have a horse in the race which explains your emotional investment. Reading body language is a perfectly normal thing humans do. Her body language looked unnatural enough that I found myself questioning it.
“Conspiracy horseshit”, ok guy. Politicians are trained to duck and cover and let security handle incidents. Maybe her first instinct was off, but it’s still off.
Do keep in mind that Somalia is a war torn nation. People who grow up around that barely flinch at a bomb dropping.
Very impressed with how she handled it. Put that moron UNDER the prison.
What was the liquid?
Last I heard forensics was still analyzing it.
That’s what I came to the comments for. Replying to check back later when it’s confirmed and I’ll update if I find it elsewhere.
Looks like piss. But I’m curious too, he still had like 1/4 of it left in the syringe.
The courage this lady has is greater than literally the entire current regime. Insane. She shouldn’t need it though!
Dude came at her with a hypo from short range. If he wasn’t such a schmuck she may not be here.
Fucked up.
How long until Trump pardons this actual terrorist?
Prosecute him under state laws. Trump can’t touch him.
The correct question is, how long before he has a job with ICE?
He won’t need to work after he makes a million dollars on gofundme…
He seems like the type to already be working there.
he will be leading a “unit”
He’ll probably get the DOJ to investigate her while he’s at it.
He’s already announced investigation into her hasn’t he? Claiming her wealth increase when she married a rich dude is suspicious?
Ugh I hadn’t heard that. Gross.
He already called it a false flag
He can be charged with state charges.
Damn, she was ready to go toe-to-toe with that guy.
Walked right toward him, she didn’t run like a MAGA coward. She grew up in Somalia, it’s probably pretty hard to scare her.
She had a pen in her hand and for a second I thought he was going to get an emergency tracheotomy.
Fox News: Where does she get off defending herself from a would-be attacker. Idk, perhaps the syringe was filled with something nice!
Violent leftist tries to stab opinionated Zionist at town hall.
Yikes. And imagine sticking up for kristi noem’s ‘good’ name. Good fucking LOL.
In the video the dude sounds like he has developmental issues; probably an ICE agent.
Holy shit. What a psychopath. I cringe to think of what was in that syringe.
My guess is someone under the GOP sent him.
Directly, probably not. Their incendiary rhetoric is enough to get whackjobs like him to do things like this.
We need her more than ever. Donate again! https://ilhanomar.com/
THAT man was a PATRIOT!
-People who call Mothers and Nurses Domestic Terrorists!
You can see them chiming right in on behalf of their scumlord Donny.
It’s so horrible to think people can be so hateful to openly lie to create confusion. They are so vile, there is no coming back from that.
you forgot to SUPPORT PRAISING THE TROOPS THAT WE WEVE BEEN FUCKING OVER FOR.DECADES
The balls on this one.
Right wing agitators have no place in political discourse
My first reactions was that It does look staged, because of how awkward the attack is and her reaction after the attack. Gives me similar vibes as the Trump assasination attempt.
Dont known of many people who would charge their attacker unless they see the attack coming. I certainly would not, I am not a brave person.
Unlike the Trump assasination though, their is no possibility of a “hidden shooter” and someone being setup as the attacker. So that swings it to a real attack for me.
Damn I hate how we have to think these days.
EDIT: to clarify, I don’t think it is fake.
My first reactions was that It does look staged, because of how awkward the attack is and her reaction after the attack.
You ever get into a fight in real life? Or have anything like this happen to you where someone tries to attack you? It’s often awkward. It isn’t the movies. People haven’t trained for fifteen years with a sensei before attacking someone else at a public event. The awkwardness is a sign that it’s real instead of that it is staged. And you never know exactly how you’ll behave during something like this until it happens.
Or to put it into song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P89X-j-TWVE
I have gotten into a fight yes, my reaction was to back off, the guys grabbed and cornered me, I started fighting back and everyone just sort-of flopped onto the ground before some bystanders assisted. It was super awkward.
I take your point that the attackers actions were realistic due to the awkwardness. Its more her reaction that was unexpected from my perspective. Its not how I would have reacted. I will jump in to defend others, but when I am being attacked, my first reaction is to run.
“I survived war. I’m built different.” -Ilhan after the conference. She likely has very different life experience than you.
I will jump in to defend others, but when I am being attacked, my first reaction is to run.
It’s called fight or flight reaction for a reason, dude. Apparently, her instinct in this one was fight.
It’s fair to critically analyze things. Regardless of the time, it’s a healthy thing to do, else you get sucked up into the propaganda on either end.
I think this one is real. The guy was super weird and shuffly throughout the video until he finally did it.
Reality is awkward sometimes. If you’d seen me at baseball camp you’d have been wondering if I was an enemy plant.
Yeah, that is what finally convinced me it was not staged.
How we have to think these days? Dude, that type of thing has been in the political playbook longer than this country has existed.
I agree its always been part of the playbook. I hate the fact that it seems to be the option most likely considered. We are in a post evidence where we have to assume something is fake until there is enough information to prove it is not.
