Did Ilhan Omar pose smiling with Anthony Kazmierczak who was holding up a bottle of Fiji water and flashing a cash fan? No, that's not true: This AI-generated image is one of several published by an X account. The account has a disclaimer that says it posts memes and videos to fake out gullible people: "We find em all and expose via high quality AI videos and memes." This meme refers to a town hall meeting at which a man sprayed an unknown liquid at the congresswoman while she was speaking. The people and furnishings pictured in the AI-generated images are not consistent with details clearly visible in press photos of the incident.
The fake image appeared in a post on X (archived here) published by @DumbFckFinder on Jan. 27, 2026. It was captioned:
BREAKING: Leaked Ilhan Omar image with alleged man who spit on her is going viral
This is the image included with the post featuring a DFF watermark in the lower right corner:

@DumbFckFinder has a "Parody Account" account authenticity disclosure from X (archived here) under the user name. The account's bio reads:
Helping free America from DumbFuckery one DumbFuck at a time, Left, Right, we find em all and expose via high quality AI videos and memes. Alt account @ENIMEMES
In the comments on the original post (archived here and here), @DumbFckFinder published two additional image variations (pictured below). All three images appear to have been generated from the same AI prompt. In one image the room is filled with numbered fold down theater seats, in the other there are commercial stacking chairs. Details of the ceiling tiles, vents, lights and exit doors are inconsistent throughout the image set that supposedly shows the same room. A different account, @Fityeth, posted an AI-generated video (archived here) which was made from one of these images. The video had a prompt underneath it which reads, "Create your own with Grok".

Footage of what really happened at the town hall meeting on Jan. 27 was published by Reuters (archived here) on Jan. 28, 2026 in an article titled, "Man sprays US lawmaker Ilhan Omar with liquid, disrupting Minnesota event". Kazmierczak was wearing grey sweatpants, not jeans, and had clear eyeglasses, not sunglasses, at the time he attacked Omar. The article contains other photos including Kazmierczak's mugshot.
