Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is working to punish progressive ‘Squad’ member Ilhan Omar for the Democrat’s ‘vile comments’ about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

A day after the 31-year-old father of two was killed while speaking in front of 3,000 people, Omar, 42, ripped into the Turning Point USA co-founder’s legacy.

‘There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate,’ Omar told Zeteo last Thursday. ‘These people are full of s*** and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness.’

Later, the Minnesota Democrat reposted a video that claimed Kirk was a ‘reprehensible human being’ and a ‘terrorist.’

‘Don’t be fooled, these people don’t give a single s*** about Charlie Kirk, they are just using his death to further their Christo-fascist agenda,’ the video re-posted by the Somali-born, Muslim congresswoman said.

Mace has introduced a censure resolution – the second most severe punishment in Congress behind expulsion – to publicly condemn Omar and strip the congresswoman of her committee assignments.

Omar claims Mace’s gambit will fail.

‘Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said. Her res[olution] does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any,’ Omar wrote on X yesterday. ‘Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology. This is all an attempt to push a false story so she can fundraise and boost her run for Governor.’

Specifically, Mace’s resolution accuses the ‘Squad’ member of ‘defending political violence,’ something that Omar did not do in this case. If successful Mace’s resolution would remove her from the Committee on Education and Workforce and the Budget Committee.

Though Mace’s resolution does not include a specific quote from the Democrat, it does include many comments from content re-posted by Omar to her 1.2 million X followers.

The South Carolina lawmaker’s measure targeting Omar is expected to come up for a vote as soon as this week.

Although it may fail to gain traction, considering the last censure targeting Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., failed after some GOP members sided with all the Democrats.

Since Mace announced her resolution against Omar, the two have exchanged dramatic and politically charged salvos at each other online, all while congressional leadership has been urging both sides to tone down their profoundly toxic rhetoric.

‘If you celebrate murder, maybe Somalia can take you back,’ Mace said of the Democrat on Wednesday morning.

An hour later the 42-year-old Democrat responded: ‘I know you aren’t well or smart but I hope someone can explain to you that there isn’t a correlation between my committee assignments and deportation.’

‘Regardless of what you do with these committees, my office will continue to be next to you and I will continue to be in Congress,’ Omar continued.

Censure is an old traditional punishment in the House of Representatives that, if passed, requires the accused to stand in the chamber’s well while her infractions are detailed in the resolution and read aloud for all members to hear.

There have only been 28 lawmakers censured in the history of the House, though it has become an increasingly popular procedure, with five of those punishments coming after November 2021.

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, was censured earlier this year for screaming at the president during his joint address to Congress in March.

Democrats have also floated a retaliatory censure of their own, targeting Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., for allegations of sexual misconduct, domestic violence, stolen valor and more. Mills, for his part, has denied all of the allegations.

The resolution targeting the Florida Republican, introduced by Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairman Greg Casar, D-Texas, would not strip Mills of his committee roles.

That effort is also expected to get a vote this week, though it will likely fail given the GOP’s majority.
