Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is under fire for mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination and scoffing at claims that his mission was rooted in civil political discourse.
The progressive 'Squad' member laughed during an interview while dismissing tributes to Kirk's legacy, branding his views as 'f***ed up' and accusing him of a decade of spreading hate.
While speaking with Zeteo, Omar poured scorn on the very idea that Kirk had championed civil political dialogue.
'There are a lot of people who are talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate,' Omar said with a sneer. 'These people are full of s*** and it's important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness.'
Her remarks came just a day after Kirk was killed by a sniper outside Utah Valley University, in an attack that has deepened partisan divisions and triggered a wave of controversial reactions from elected Democrats to public servants and educators, some of whom appeared to celebrate his death.
