Watch: Ilhan Omar Doubles Down on Her Horrific Comments About Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

September 22, 2025 Politics

Last week, the House of Representatives voted on a resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over her disgusting comments about Charlie Kirk.

The effort failed, in the words of my colleague Rusty Weiss, because four feckless Republicans went along with a Democratic effort to table the resolution.[snip]After she got a pass, she went on CNN and was asked about the controversy by Kaitlan Collins. Collins brought up the video that called Kirk “Dr. Frankenstein” and said “his monster shot him through the neck.” When even Collins grasps that you’re digging yourself a big hole and tries to reel you back in, you may just have said something pretty bad. She had to tell Omar that Kirk was a “husband and a father.” But Omar just made things worse.

Talk about being evil and not reading the room. She sounds like the accused killer who allegedly said that Kirk was “spreading hate.” Even Collins’ eyebrows went up with those comments – even she couldn’t believe it.

Omar made other twisted comments, 

He didn‘t believe that we should have equal access to anything. He also just didn’t even believe I could be smart enough, I could have thoughts that could be equal to a White man. Where are we missing this conversation about who this man was and the things that he said?”

What you’re missing is context and reality. Not to mention common decency.

Charlie Kirk’s memorial is ongoing as I write this, with thousands in attendance, coming together.

In a way, the memorial for Charlie Kirk in the State Farm Arena in Arizona is a perfect rejoinder to Ilhan Omar. Would there ever be as many people wanting to come out to remember Omar? The memorial is bringing people together in prayer and celebrating his life. What has she done to contribute to the world besides being hateful? What would anyone celebrate about her?
