Nope https://newrepublic.com/post/205795/who-attacked-ilhan-omar-town-hall-fan-trump?utm_campaign=SF_TNR&utm_source=Bluesky&utm_medium=social The attacker followed multiple right-wing accounts on X, like Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro. On Facebook, his profile picture was Trump multiple times and he regularly criticized Democratic politicians. All of this seems to indicate the attack was fueled by his political sentiments. |

Rep. Randy Fine on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "I blame Ilhan Omar for what happened"
https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mdikeenrik2o We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party. |
| MAGA is becoming increasingly unhinged and rabid. Why are they so angry all the time? Their party controls all branches of government. |
Yes, WV is a bastion of liberal radicalism. She could easily have been a disgruntled Never Trump? Or maybe a huge fan of JD… |
Sorry, PP. One party condemns all political violence and the other automatically blames the victim on the other side. The extremists may be the bad actors but the mainstream Republicans neither condemn nor oppose political violence against Democrats. Also, the VAST majority of political violence comes from the right. So yes, I blame the Republican party. I'll reconsider my position when everyone in the Trump administration and all elected Republicans express their condolences for Melissa Hortman, just like every single elected Democrat did when Charlie Kirk was killed. I'll reconsider when every single one says, "I am appalled by what happened to Ilhan Omar. This kind of action will not be tolerated" |
You think they care about collateral damage? |
| It’s crazy how a domestic terrorist can attack an elected official in a public place and still be arrested peacefully, without being executed on the spot. Crazy, huh? |
The whole thing is fake AF What elected official is gonna continue standing around talking after a stranger just doused them with some unknown substance? They’d be hightailing it out of there to get cleaned up and determine what they were sprayed with, not standing there after the fact arguing about it. |
When will democrats condemn their own violent extremists? |
The Trump Assassination is also staged, but you're not ready for that conversation 🙂 |
Who are the violent extremists the democrats have let skate? Meanwhile, where has a single GOP House Member stood up for their colleague who was attacked by a member/supporter of their own party? |
You understand, there is someone in jail right now who was responsible for the attack, right? And that person has a long social media history supporting Trump and Trumpism. Are you suggesting that the alleged has created this online persona for years, so they could be arrested for a "fake" attack to make MAGA look bad? And will be willing to spend time/years in jail for the optics of "owning" MAGA? This is what you are suggesting. |

Unfortunately for this psycho violent right wing terrorist, assault is a state level crime, and I strongly doubt that Walz is feeling charitable these days toward psycho violent right wing terrorists. |
