Omar was uninjured and continued to speak at the event following the incident.

    Authorities have not yet identified what the liquid was. According to a BBC journalist in the room, it had a sour smell similar to a chemical product

    Knowing people like this, it was probably acid?

    Considering it didn’t work, idiot probably used the wrong acid

      I figured it was piss, but that’s a “generous” assumption on my part.

      My bet’s on salicylic acid. Dude probably diluted some Neutrogena thinking it’d do something.
