[UPDATED] More Information About the Suspect Identified in Ihan Omar Assault

https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-brien/2026/01/28/breaking-suspect-identified-in-ihan-omar-assault-n4948833

According to Newsweek, “Kazmierczak does not appear to have ever been charged with a violent crime in Minnesota. He has twice been convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol, according to court records reviewed by Newsweek.”

The magazine reported that court filings from his 2017 divorce reveal that he has two children, he was not employed at the time, and he was receiving disability insurance payments.

CNN reported that he has been married and divorced twice, using Minnesota’s official marriage and divorce records as its source. CNN also reported that a Facebook account that seems to belong to Kazmierczak, “has a history of political posts, including criticism of Democrats such as former President Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris. In October 2021, he posted a political cartoon criticizing Omar’s security spending.”

Newsweek further reported that after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, “Kazmierczak changed his profile picture to a photo of Trump speaking at a Turning Point USA event. A couple of weeks later, he changed it to a photo of Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, being comforted by Trump. He previously added badges to his profile pictures to show his support for Ukraine.”

The news site then claims to have found an X account from Kazmierczak, which follows “Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, and Benny Johnson.”

Maybe DU-grade Progs finally got their bad-boy MAGA. HOWEVER, the sources are NewSpeak and CNN, so engage block of salt.

ETA: The guy is, at least, not the brightest bulb in the knife drawer. How exactly did he think things would play out after squirting her?

'If We Have to Hunt You Down the Way They Hunted Down Nazis for Decades…'

Look, I get it, liberals. You don't like deporting people. At least NOW you don't. You were fine with it when Barack Obama was putting kids in cages and giving speeches about why deportations were necessary, but then again you were fine with opposing gay marriage when Obama did too, so whatever.

I get that you think that Trump's tactics are "cruel," and that you get that thrill down your leg when you get your adrenaline up and feel especially virtuous opposing them. Mass movements have always appealed to the left, and every single issue is framed in your minds as the 1950s and 1960s civil rights movement.
...
But, really, you have lost the plot. Oppose Trump and ICE all you want, but when the mainstream liberals and Democrats start talking about "hunting down" federal law enforcement officers like Nazis, encouraging people to attack them, coordinating with people who are committing felonies, and declaring "war" on the federal government, you have officially gone insane.

Here's George Soros-backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner.  He publicly declared that Democrats will “hunt down” @ICEgov agents when @realDonaldTrump  leaves office:

“If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades…we will find your identities!”

BBC apologises after Holocaust Memorial Day report omits Jews

https://www.thetimes.com/uk/media/article/bbc-breakfast-holocaust-memorial-day-7gr0dqrt8

The BBC apologised on Tuesday night after introducing coverage of Holocaust Memorial Day without referring to the murder of Jews, with the omission described as “hurtful, disrespectful and wrong”.

Jon Kay introduced the report on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday, saying Holocaust Memorial Day was “for remembering the six million people murdered by the Nazi regime over 80 years ago”.

The Campaign for Media Standards highlighted similar introductions by some of the BBC’s highest-profile presenters including Matthew Amroliwala and Martine Croxall, and accused the broadcaster of having “used the same script all day”.
...
Lord Pickles, who was the special envoy for post-Holocaust issues from 2015 until last year, said the failure to highlight Jewish victims in the introductions was “an unambiguous example of Holocaust distortion, which is a form of denial”. “This kind of obfuscation was common during the Soviet control of parts of Europe,” said Pickles, who is now co-chairman of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation. “For the BBC to use it today is shocking. They should be fighting antisemitism, not aiding it.”

Some antisemitism is violent against Jews; some "merely" ignores and obscures that violence.

ICE Agents Are Now a 'Voter Suppression Tool'

https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2026/01/28/ice-agents-are-now-a-voter-suppression-tool-n3811304

Former three-term Washington State governor Jay Inslee is as blue as the ocean but not nearly as deep when it comes to his thought processes. As an established and dependable true-blue tool himself, Inslee is also well-versed in the slimy use of rhetorical ones when his rabidly partisan brain surrenders to impulse and kicks into thinking up a stinker to toss into ongoing controversy.

In their public rants regarding the law enforcement situation in Minnesota, everyone else has been wielding standard fascist, Nazi, stormtrooper, etc., epithets, so I guess the man thought he'd pull a fresh objection out of the calumny crate - take an angle that hadn't been used against the immigration efforts yet.
...
How could Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) be a 'voter suppression tool' when the people they're specifically tasked with targeting and removing cannot vote?

Shouldn't be anywhere near a booth? Should never have their name on a registration list?

Inslee publicly Tweeted what the Dems have for decades been denying.

Man arrested in the attack on Ilhan Omar has a criminal history and made pro-Trump posts

https://srnnews.com/man-arrested-in-the-attack-on-ilhan-omar-has-a-criminal-history-and-made-pro-trump-posts/

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The man who sprayed an unknown substance on Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town hall in Minneapolis has a criminal history and has made online posts supportive of President Donald Trump.

Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, was convicted of felony auto theft in 1989, has been arrested multiple times for driving under the influence, and has had numerous traffic citations, Minnesota court records show. There are also indications he has had significant financial problems, including two bankruptcy filings.
...
In social media posts, Kazmierczak described himself as a former network engineer who lives in Minneapolis. Among other things, he made comments critical of former President Joe Biden and referred to Democrats as “angry and liars.”

“Trump wants the US is stronger and more prosperous,” Kazmierczak wrote. “Stop other countries from stealing from us. Bring back the fear that enemies back away from and gain respect that If anyone threatens ourselves or friends we will (expletive) them up.”

In another post, Kazmierczak asked, “When will descendants of slaves pay restitution to Union soldiers families for freeing them/dying for them, and not sending them back to Africa?”

Maybe Kazmierczak is the less than brilliant MAGA fool Dems and other Progs seek. OTOH, his lack of forethought, Omar's & security's casual response to the liquid, and Kazmierczak's dire finances suggest this could have been paid false-flag theater.

I guess they're suppressing votes... in the future, or something?

I guess they're suppressing votes... in the future, or something?

Given that _DEPORTED illegals and radical Dim'Rats convicted felons don't get voting rights, the MSM propagandists may have a point.

I'm not even slightly sympathetic to their point, but...

Krasner is an absolutely horrid person and a worse DA, clearly in the pockets of the crooked Soros family.

Just found this story a bit more light and amusing, perhaps a bit illustrative in some way:

Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez: The Democrat Who Actually Ran a Business... Selling Crappy Weed in College

Apparently, there are some Democrats who had actual jobs before they were elected to Congress where they try and live off the taxpayer for the rest of their lives. One of those Democrats is: Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. Her alleged job? Drug dealer on a college campus.

@Heminator
What I take from this is she’s the only Democrat in Congress who understands how to run a business
