and her initial reaction was to walk towards the attacker. Not duck under something. Not hide behind someone. Just charge ahead at the guy. Badass!
The next thing she does is not to be whisked away to safety, but to push aside the people who want to move her away and go back to her speech.
I like her more.
REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These f*cking a$sholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”
