WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump accused Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., of "fraud" on Tuesday and suggested the lawmaker orchestrated an attack on herself after she was sprayed with an unknown substance at a town hall event in Minneapolis.

“I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud,” the president told ABC News when asked if he had seen the video. "She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

“I haven’t seen it. No, no. I hope I don’t have to bother,” he added.

Video showed the suspect jumping up from the front row of the town hall and spraying Omar after she called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign or be impeached. It appeared a syringe was used to shoot the liquid at the congresswoman's chest.

“We will continue,” Omar demanded after the incident. “This f***ing a–hole is not getting away with this.”

Omar's office released a statement after the incident stating the Congresswoman was OK and that she continued with her town hall "because she doesn't let bullies win."

Anthony James Kazmierczak, 55, was booked by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and faces a charge of assault in the third degree, arrest records show.

Noem is expected to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee in March after she faced scrutiny for the second deadly shooting in a month during immigration raids in Minnesota.

Alex Pretti was shot and killed on Saturday by federal agents after being tackled to the ground while trying to protect a woman being pepper-sprayed.

Noem accused Pretti of being a domestic terrorist and approaching officers while carrying a 9mm semiautomatic handgun and two magazines, a claim disputed by bystander video.

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official said Tuesday that two federal officers fired Glock pistols during the deadly shooting.

In a notification sent to Congress and obtained by The Associated Press, CBP reported that investigators with the Office of Professional Responsibility made the determination after a preliminary review of body-worn camera video and agency documentation.

Hours before Omar's town hall event, Trump again singled out the Minnesota Congresswoman during a speech in Iowa, saying the U.S. needed immigrants who "love our country."

“Not like Ilhan Omar she comes from a country that’s a disaster. It’s not even a country," he told the crowd.
