WASHINGTON — Partisan bitterness has escalated on Capitol Hill since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is pushing not only to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) over her response to the killing but for Omar to be stripped of her citizenship and deported.
“Fuck her,” Mace told HuffPost in an interview.
Mace’s censure resolution accuses Omar of having “smeared Charlie Kirk and implied he was to blame for his own murder.” The resolution goes further than just censure and, if approved by a House vote expected Wednesday evening, would remove Omar from her committee assignments.
The censure push comes as Republicans clamor for anyone celebrating Kirk’s murder on social media to be fired from their jobs, and as President Donald Trump and top officials in his administration vow some sort of crackdown on “radical left” groups they claim organize political violence. Charging documents suggest Kirk’s assassin was motivated by left politics and a belief Kirk was spreading “hate,” but don’t suggest he had any ties to organizations.
