He's obviously one of those radical left antifa terrorists.

Unironically the comments on the bad place. They called it staged, that it was just water and that she should be tried for attempting to assault the dude.

They'll believe that was staged, but also believe Trump's ear was shot and grew back with no scars in a week.

I think they've given up estimating how likely something is, in favor of just how much they want it to be true.

She was gonna slap his ass.

Seriously, she clearly doesn't take shit. Most politicians would have run, she knew the levels this would play out on as a symbol and so she held her ground and advanced towards him.

This is an awful moment but it also demonstrates the immense strength and courage Omar has.

Honestly her stance looked like if anything she was getting ready to deck him with a punch.

I don't even think it's that deep. Her body language and immediate response is what a whole lot of women are feeling right now and a whole lot of man-children are gonna start catching hands.

"How can she slap?"

That guy had he not been saved by security.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

She moved towards him. That's bad ass!

You can see her grab her pen as he approaches. Guy is lucky security stopped him, he was about to get stabbed in the face lol

John Wick used a pencil. Ilhan Omar uses a pen since erasers are for people who make mistakes.

Why did the camera view change? Hard to see what happened.
