"Omar, in a Zeteo interview last week, recounted Kirk's positions on gun control, police reform and race, and spoke dismissively of "people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate." "There is nothing more f-ed up to completely pretend his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so," she said."
"Driving the news: Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) introduced a one-page resolution Monday that would kick Omar off the House Budget and Education & Workforce Committees. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) also introduced a three-page measure that would kick Omar off her committees and censure her for the comments. In addition to the Zeteo interview, Mace's resolution also cites Omar reposting a video on X calling Kirk a "stochastic terrorist" who "with his last dying words ... was spewing racist dogwhistles.""
Ilhan Omar recounted Kirk's positions on gun control, police reform and race and dismissed calls for a civil debate, saying critics ignore his recorded words and actions over the past decade. Rep. Buddy Carter introduced a one-page resolution to remove Omar from the House Budget and Education & Workforce Committees. Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a three-page measure seeking Omar's removal and censure, citing Omar's Zeteo interview and her reposting of a video on X that labeled Kirk a "stochastic terrorist" and accused him of "spewing racist dogwhistles." Mace's measure called Omar's comments "reprehensible" and damaging to House credibility. A spokesperson for Omar did not immediately comment on the resolutions.
