Congresswoman Discusses Kirk Case During Podcast Interview
Rep. Ilhan Omar has never been shy about her contempt for conservatives, but her latest comments may mark a new low in political indecency. In an interview Thursday with left-wing commentator Mehdi Hasan, Omar openly mocked Charlie Kirk less than 24 hours after his assassination — and worse, she implied his death was somehow the result of his “words and actions.”
The facts are clear: Charlie Kirk, 31, was murdered in cold blood while speaking at Utah Valley University. A single rifle shot ended the life of a husband, a father of two, and a nationally recognized conservative activist. His killer remains at large. Yet Omar chose this moment not to grieve, not to condemn political violence, but to sneer.

“What I do know for sure,” Omar said, “is that Charlie was someone who once said guns save lives after a school shooting … someone willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd … downplay slavery and what black people have gone through by saying Juneteenth should never exist.”
Hasan, never missing an opportunity for smug theatrics, interjected: “It’s bull****. A complete rewriting of history.” Omar laughed in agreement.
In another clip, Omar dismissed Kirk’s defenders entirely: “People who speak well of him are full of ****.”
Pause and consider that. A sitting U.S. congresswoman openly ridiculed the freshly slain body of a political opponent, reducing his murder to a punchline about rhetoric she didn’t like. She blurred the line between words and actions, suggesting that speech she found offensive was tantamount to violence — a dangerous framing that paves the way for excusing physical attacks against political rivals.

This is not just poor taste. It is reckless. Kirk built his career on college debates, inviting opponents to challenge him in open forums, precisely because he believed in persuasion over coercion. Whether you agreed with him or not, his “weapon” was argument. Omar and Hasan, in contrast, laugh off his murder by pretending words justify bullets.
