President Trump claimed that Democratic Congressmember Ilhan Omar staged the attack against herself, when a man rushed toward her and sprayed her with a foul-smelling liquid at a town hall in Minneapolis Tuesday. Speaking to ABC News’s Rachel Scott, Trump said he hadn’t seen the video of the assault, saying, “I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.” This is Congressmember Ilhan Omar speaking to reporters Wednesday.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: “Well, I think my presence here should tell you that the fear and intimidation doesn’t work on me. And, you know, you and I have talked about this many a times. The president’s rhetoric, the attacks from him since I’ve gotten into public office, from the right wing, has always been really to stop me from being in public service, to intimidate me, to make me want to quit. And my only message is it hasn’t worked thus far, and it’s not going to work in the future.”
