Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) announced that she is filing a resolution to remove "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from her committee appointments over "disgraceful" remarks about Charlie Kirk's assassination, Breitbart reported. Omar said the Turning Point USA founder was a "reprehensible human being" and made other denigrating remarks about Kirk in the aftermath of his killing.
In the days after the assassination, Omar was already smearing Kirk with awful accusations and blaming him for his violent death at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. On Sept. 11, Omar posted to X, formerly Twitter, about Kirk and then furthered her attack on Zeteo Town Hall on MSNBC.
Mace vowed to censure Omar over this and other remarks and shared images of the resolution to X on Monday. "BREAKING: We’re filing a resolution to strip @Ilhan of her committee assignments after her disgraceful remarks on Charlie Kirk’s assassination," Mace captioned the post.

Omar is used to controversy, but she has taken her criticism of the right to a whole new level after Kirk's death. When speaking to MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan during an interview two days after his death, Omar launched into a tirade about Kirk, Mace, and, of course, President Donald Trump.
"It reminds you that although these people pretend to be adults that they are sometimes, they think a lot less than even children do when it comes to compassion, when it comes to thoughtfulness, when it comes to being a leader. I did expect the president’s address to the nation would have been a lot more compassionate-filled, it would have been less partisan," Omar told the host.
"There is nothing more effed up than to completely pretend that his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so. You have people like Nancy Mace who constantly harass people that she finds inferior and wants them not to exist in this country or ever, and you have people like Trump who has incited violence against people like me," Omar claimed without evidence.
"And so, these people are full of sh-- and it’s important for us to call them out. While we feel anger and sadness and have empathy, which Charlie said shouldn’t exist because that’s a 'newly created word' or something," Omar went on.
"Like, I have empathy for his kids and his wife and what they’re going through because I do not want that for my family," she added. This certainly sounds like the rantings of someone who should not be entrusted with committees, and Mace's resolution aims to ensure that.
In her resolution, Mace praised Kirk as "a lifelong advocate for freedom of speech, civil political discourse, and the political engagement of youth" as well as a "man of deep faith, a husband, and a father to two young children." The South Carolina Republican then went on to lay out the timeline between Kirk's death and Omar's repugnant remarks, noting she made the two days following Kirk's assassination on Sept. 10.
The resolution mentioned Omar's X post where she said, "Charlie Kirk is dead, and before the body got cold, the far-Right propped his corpse up as a cudgel for their holy war" the day after he was killed. "Don’t be fooled, these people don’t give a single sh a--bout Charlie Kirk, they are just using his death to further their Christofascist agenda," Omar added.
The resolution requested that Omar be removed "from the Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee on the Budget" over these hateful remarks. Trump was asked what he thought of Omar's claim that Kirk was a "reprehensible human being," and Trump agreed with Mace's assessment.
"I think she’s a disgraceful person. I think she’s a disgraceful person, loser," Trump told reporters.
The death of Charlie Kirk should be a wake-up call to these leftists that their constant barrage of negativity has consequences. However, rather than self-reflection, they have doubled down on their hatred for the right and must pay the political price, including Omar.
