Rep. Ilan Omar raises the issue of 'Wet Farts' and 'Liquid A--' at Columbia University that was released at anti-Israel event.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., sounded the alarm about what she called an 'attack' with a 'toxic chemical substance' at an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University during a congressional hearing Wednesday. However, according to court documents, the substance was a non-toxic flatulence spray. Omar questioned Columbia's president, Dr. Nemat 'Minouche' Shafik, about a January incident that involved anti-Israel activists while they were protesting.
' This was yet another assertion the president rebutted. 'No, I don't believe that's correct,' she said. One of the students who released the spray filed a lawsuit against the university on April 16. 'Plaintiff attended one of the unsanctioned pro-Hamas pro-Palestine rallies on campus, and, as a harmless expression of his speech, he sprayed into the air a novelty, non-toxic ‘fart’ spray named ‘Liquid A--' and ‘Wet Farts’ which he purchased on Amazon for $26.
