YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn January 27th, congresswoman Ilhan Omar (MN 5) was attacked during a town hall in her home city of Minneapolis. A Trump supporter squirted a foul-smelling brown liquid at her with a syringe. The weekend before, congressman Maxwell Frost (FL 10) was punched in the face by a deranged man yelling racial epithets.
Rightwing commentators have responded to at least one of these events with disbelief, claiming it was staged.
Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, Bakari Sellers, and (guest-host) Elizabeth Booker Houston for this segment from episode #116 that aired 01-29-26.
