Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

“I don’t think about her” is hilarious. He mentions Ilhan Omar more often than he talks about all his children combined.

"In an entirely predictable development, the man who squirted Omar with a “foul-smelling liquid” has been identified as Anthony Kazmierczak, whose social media posts are covered in pro-Trump and MAGA imagery. "
