I chose an NYPost article for the simple reason that even a conservative rag identified the culprit as a Trump fan. I am aware that the 'alleged' in the title and in the article is the typical load of partisan horseshit.
This comes right on the heels of Trump claiming that Mrs. Omar 'sprayed herself.'

That's just projection again, he probably peed on his legs this morning.

You're missing the obvious potentially fake attack on him.
You try being that fat and finding a diaper that doesn’t leak.
The comments on that article are all wild conspiracies. Those people are so unhinged. We really do live in different worlds
Basically all of them have concluded the guy was actually a paid Democratic agitator, with some racism sprinkled in
Well, sure, his "assassination attack" was a hoax, so he thinks every one else is hoaxing, too.
Yeah the common sentiment among magats is that this was staged.
How is it still a "mystery liquid."
If this were any Republican it would have immediately been called super anthrax liquid cancer acid and an investigation would have identified it as not that within hours. Here we are with "mystery liquid" since yesterday...
People suspected fox or pig urine and I just don't understand. Who would plan out an attack, knowing they will go to jail for it, just to spray some pee on someone with a syringe? Like I know we aren't dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed here, but damn...
Seeing as Omar is Muslim, my guess is on pig fat. But yeah it is a terrible reason to go to jail, and according to his neighbor, he knew he'd be arrested. He also had a major injury recently, so maybe he figured he'd have better health care in prison, so it's like robbing a bank for $1
People who do this sort of thing are rarely rational. You don't usually get to the point where you're attacking a political figure in an extremely public way by thinking things through. Dude was probably off his rocker.
Probably some random assortment of chemicals and/or piss
Willing to bet it was piss.
Man what a perfect mug shot, he looks exactly like the guy what would do this.
It kind of helps having the picture of him doing it right next to the mugshot.
I didn't know frog babies could grow into adults.
Ron Schneider has let himself go...
"This summer, Rob Schneider stars in... The Domestic Terrorist!"
Or Bam Magera finally got off the rock and cleaned up a bit.
Reading comments on that article makes you lose hope.
Most comment sections do.
I love the simple inclusion of "might" in that text. It hints that he thought there was even the smallest possibility of being able to escape an extremely public assault on a politician in a building filled with people, which i just find hilarious
He probably thought there was a good chance everyone there would applaud
Is the dog okay?!
Police: GCMS? Analytical chemistry? Those dont sound real. This is a complete mystery. Guess we'll never know.
He just need to hold on until his trial end then get a presidential pardon
A) he could be pardoned right now, before anything else happens. Except
B) he's been charged with crimes at the state level, so Walz isn't going to pardon him and a pardon from the federal level would have no effect
I don't think this would be the case for it, but I fully expect Trump, before the end of his term, to attempt to pardon state crimes and insist it applies
He's already issued a pardon to a woman in Colorado who was convicted [only at the state level] of crimes in trying to overturn the 2020 election. Her lawyer is trying that exact argument.
‘I might get arrested’
Might? Might‽ Completely disconnected from reality.
Isn't that Netflix's bastardized copy of Russell Crowe?
