Man who assaulted US lawmaker Ilhan Omar sentenced to 14 months in prison
Anthony James Kazmierczak pleaded guilty in May and admitted to attacking Omar because he disagreed with her progressive political views.
Anthony James Kazmierczak, a Minnesota man, was sentenced to 14 months in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to assaulting a federal official. Kazmierczak admitted in May that he attacked Democratic US Representative Ilhan Omar in January because he disagreed with her progressive political views. During a town hall speech in Minneapolis, he squirted her with vinegar from a syringe, stating, “You must resign.” Kazmierczak's lawyer indicated he apologized to Omar at the sentencing. Minnesota US Attorney Daniel Rosen previously condemned the attack as part of a dangerous trend of political hatred leading to criminal acts.
