"Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," said the Democratic lawmaker following the attack. "We are Minnesota strong and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
My first reactions was that It does look staged, because of how awkward the attack is and her reaction after the attack.
You ever get into a fight in real life? Or have anything like this happen to you where someone tries to attack you? It’s often awkward. It isn’t the movies. People haven’t trained for fifteen years with a sensei before attacking someone else at a public event. The awkwardness is a sign that it’s real instead of that it is staged. And you never know exactly how you’ll behave during something like this until it happens.
I have gotten into a fight yes, my reaction was to back off, the guys grabbed and cornered me, I started fighting back and everyone just sort-of flopped onto the ground before some bystanders assisted. It was super awkward.
I take your point that the attackers actions were realistic due to the awkwardness. Its more her reaction that was unexpected from my perspective. Its not how I would have reacted. I will jump in to defend others, but when I am being attacked, my first reaction is to run.

“I survived war. I’m built different.” -Ilhan after the conference. She likely has very different life experience than you.
It’s called fight or flight reaction for a reason, dude. Apparently, her instinct in this one was fight.
