The man who sprayed vinegar at Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar during a Minneapolis town hall has been sentenced to 14 months in prison. Anthony Kazmierczak was sentenced Thursday, nearly eight months after the Jan. 27 assault. He was also sentenced to three years of supervised release, which includes no contact with Omar. At the time of the attack, Minneapolis-St. Paul was subject to a federal immigration crackdown that led to angry protests, arrests and the deaths of two U.S. citizens. Kazmierczak was unable to explain his actions during an earlier hearing. Omar was not hurt in the attack and Kazmierczak pleaded guilty to assaulting a U.S. officer.
