"Well, that's a disgusting comment and the president's lies and misinformation continue to fan the flames of these types of violent incidents. And it's at a moment like this where we actually need leadership from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and it's something that we never get from this president. Ilhan Omar, of course, is a strong, courageous, hardworking public servant. This should have never happened. I'm thankful that she is physically OK. She's mentally strong, as is always the case, and we stand by her."
"Leader, thank you for so much for being here. I want to ask you first about Ilhan Omar, the congresswoman. You heard Sara has done extensive she was in the room at the time. Um, Capitol Police have spoken out and said this is a horrendous and this man should be brought to the have the toughest charges brought against him possible. The president spoke overnight about this and admitted that he had not seen the video but told ABC News She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her. What's your reaction to this?"
Rep. Ilhan Omar was assaulted live on video while at an event. Video and eyewitness accounts prompted Capitol Police to call the attack horrendous and urge the toughest charges against the alleged attacker. President Donald Trump admitted he had not seen the video but suggested conspiratorially that Omar "probably had herself sprayed." House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the president's comment disgusting, said lies and misinformation fuel violence, praised Omar as a strong public servant, confirmed she is physically and mentally OK, and called for leadership and accountability.
