纽约9月17日电(路透社)——一名明尼苏达州男子因向美国民主党众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔身上喷洒醋液,周四在承认袭击联邦公职人员罪名后,被判处一年零两个月监禁。
安东尼·詹姆斯·卡齐米尔查克于5月认罪,并承认袭击奥马尔是因为他不同意她的进步派政治观点。周四,美国地区法官琼·埃里克森在明尼阿波利斯联邦法院的听证会上对其作出判决。

卡齐米尔查克的律师表示,他在听证会上向奥马尔道歉,但以卡齐米尔查克在州法院面临的袭击和暴力威胁指控为由,拒绝进一步置评。
奥马尔是一名进步派民主党人,也是共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普的直言不讳的批评者。今年1月,她在市政厅演讲中谴责美国移民海关执法局特工在明尼阿波利斯的行为,此时卡齐米尔查克从人群中站起,用注射器向她喷洒醋液。
在网上广泛传播的袭击视频中,可以听到卡齐米尔查克喊道:“你必须辞职。”他很快被一名保安制服,奥马尔继续发表演讲。

特朗普任命的明尼苏达州联邦检察官丹尼尔·罗森此前曾谴责这起袭击事件,称其属于全国范围内将政治仇恨转化为犯罪行为的危险趋势的一部分。
判决结束后,罗森的办公室未立即回复置评请求。

NEW YORK, Sept 17 (Reuters) – A Minnesota man who squirted vinegar on Democratic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar was sentenced to one year and two months in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to assaulting a federal official.
Anthony James Kazmierczak pleaded guilty in May and admitted to attacking Omar because he disagreed with her progressive political views. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Joan Ericksen at a hearing in Minneapolis federal court on Thursday.

Kazmierczak’s lawyer said he apologized to Omar at the hearing but declined to offer additional comment, citing Kazmierczak’s pending assault and threats of violence charges in state court.
Omar, a progressive Democrat and outspoken critic of Republican President Donald Trump, was giving a town hall speech condemning the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis in January when Kazmierczak rose from the crowd and squirted her with a syringe of vinegar.
In video of the attack that was widely shared online, Kazmierczak can be heard saying, “You must resign.” He was quickly subdued by a security guard, and Omar continued her remarks.

Minnesota U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen, a Trump appointee, has previously condemned the attack and called it part of a dangerous national trend of people channeling political hatred into criminal acts.
Rosen’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment after the sentencing.
