WATCH: Ilhan Omar Doubles Down, Trashes Charlie Kirk: ‘Dustbin Of History’

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) once again doubled down on her inflammatory comments about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was murdered by a far-left extremist while speaking with college students at Utah Valley University on September 10.

Omar has been facing intense criticism following an interview Omar sat for with Mehdi Hasan, a far-left commentator who previously hosted a primetime show on MSNBC, in which she portrayed Kirk as a radical who brought on the assassination himself.

“But what I do know for sure is that Charlie Kirk was someone who once said, ‘Guns save lives’ after a school shooting,” Omar said. “Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police … downplay slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist,” she added, blatantly taking Kirk’s words out of context.

Omar then disagreed with commentators who framed Kirk as “just wanting to have a civil debate,” prompting Hasan to call their characterization a “complete rewriting of history.”

“Yeah,” Omar responded. “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.”

Despite her comments, as well as a recent speaking event in which she doubled down on them, four House Republicans voted to table a motion to censure Omar and strip her of her committee assignments. The move has sparked fury among the Republican base, though President Trump is now calling on the House GOP caucus to take things a step further.

“I think she should be impeached. I think she’s terrible,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One Thursday. “Is she originally from Somalia? So how are they doing it? How’s their government? Do they have a president? Do they have a council? Do they have anything? Do they have police? I love these people that come from a place with nothing, nothing, no anything, and then they tell us how to run our country.”

On Saturday, Omar once again doubled down on her stance by making what have been described by several Republicans as her most “vile” comments to date while speaking with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. The CNN host asked Omar about a video she posted in which Omar compared Kirk’s murder to Dr. Frankenstein being killed by the monster he created in Mary Shelly’s classic novel.

“I mean, obviously this is a person and looking at this, this is someone who was a husband and a father and in the days after his shocking death, that happened as a result of his views or happened as a result as he was sharing his views publicly with people, that people found it jarring to hear such criticism of that in the immediate aftermath of someone’s death,” Collins said.

“What I find jarring is that there are so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they’re willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress honoring his life and legacy,” a stone-faced Omar responded.

“It is one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.”

The Republican base has been particularly furious with Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), a generally conservative representative who served as the deciding vote to table the motion to censure Omar. A number of lawmakers and political pundits have pointed to Mills’ marriage to a Muslim woman as a massive conflict of interest.

“Did you know Cory Mills was ‘allegedly’ married in an al Qaeda mosque by a radical Muslim imam who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombings? The Muslim officiant was also a Hamas fundraiser,” U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) posted on X.

“Is this why he voted to protect Ilhan Omar? Cory’s wife is allegedly Muslim. Is he Muslim too? I understand the only way to get married in a mosque is to be 100% Muslim.”
