AI Summary

long article 6 min

Following an attack involving spraying at Ilhan Omar's Minneapolis town hall, Donald Trump claimed he hadn't seen the video and suggested she "probably had herself sprayed." This comment drew criticism from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who defended Omar and condemned Trump's remarks. Several lawmakers expressed support for Omar and denounced the rise in political violence. Additionally, a fundraising email from Trump's team sarcastically questioned subscribers who hadn't responded to a survey if they were "illegal aliens." Other events mentioned in the article include Ecuador alleging an ICE agent attempted to enter its consulate in Minneapolis and Trump stating a "massive armada" is heading to Iran.
