Tommy Tuberville Says Attack on Omar Staged

Republican Senator Says The Attack on Ilhan Omar Was FAKE, Demands She Be Thrown In Jail:

SEN. TUBERVILLE: "This was staged. At the end of the day, this is the Democrats palying games. Ilhan Omar needs to be in jail. She's as guilty as they come." pic.twitter.com/vGsb0SN4hf

It's possible the attack was staged. Ilhan Omar's reaction was a bit unusual. She went after the attacker, then she kept speaking. If this was a legitimate attack, I don't think that would be the response.
