U.S. House Republicans are moving to strip “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from her committee assignments in response to incendiary comments she made about the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Omar caused outrage last week after she declared Republicans are “full of s**t” for accusing critics of Kirk of celebrating his death.
Officials across the country have now been reprimanded or fired in response to caustic remarks about the late father of two and conservative activist.
The resolution filed Tuesday by Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-NC) seeks to remove Omar from the House Budget Committee and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
She is also the top Democrat on the latter panel’s Subcommittee on Workforce Protections.
Citing House ethics requiring lawmakers to demonstrate “credibility,” Mace called Omar’s remarks “reprehensible” and said they negatively impact “the dignity and integrity of the House.”
Additionally, the North Carolina Republican asked colleagues to censure Omar “with a public reading by the Speaker.”

Trending Politics reports: Mace’s move builds on an earlier commitment from Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), a U.S. Senate candidate, to strip Omar of her committee assignments for comments she made while speaking with former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan.
“But what I do know for sure is that Charlie Kirk was someone who once said, ‘Guns save lives’ after a school shooting,” Omar said. “Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police … downplay slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist.”
Omar then disagreed with commentators who framed Kirk as “just wanting to have a civil debate,” prompting Hasan to call their characterization a “complete rewriting of history.”
“Yeah,” Omar responded. “There is nothing more effed up than to completely pretend that his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.”
She then accused President Donald Trump of “incit[ing] violence against people like me.”
Omar has responded to the fallout by calling Kirk’s death “mortifying” and accusing Republicans of taking her comments out of context.
“These people are full of s**t,” Omar told Hasan about Republicans in general. “And it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness, and have, you know, empathy, which Charlie said, ‘No, it shouldn’t exist,’ because that’s a newly created word or something.”
She later tried to walk back her comments on X, writing:
“While I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I don’t wish violence on anyone. My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion. Right-wing accounts trying to spin a false story when I condemned his murder multiple times is fitting for their agenda to villainize the left to hide from the fact that Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis.”
Ha ha!
She ought to be on a one way flight to Somalia.
Along with her husband-brother.
Stop half measuring. Pull the tooth and move on.
Just do it you RINO cowards.
Mike Johnson is a useless little rhymes with “tuck”.
Guarantee that at least five Republicans will vote to table the motion.
I’ll start off with Massie and Bacon.
yep
“move” Until the turd hits the water, all that this move is grunting.
FTA-—Somali Rep Omar caused outrage last week after she declared
Republicans are “full of s**t” for accusing critics of Kirk of celebrating his death.
Now U.S. House Republicans are moving to strip “Squad” Democrat Omar (D-MN) from
her committee assignments in response to her incendiary comments wrt the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Speaking of which, what ever happened with the ‘Maryland Man”?
Deport her she entered the US Illegally
As of September 17, 2025, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held in a detention facility in Virginia under the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A federal judge has ordered that he remain in the country at least until an evidentiary hearing scheduled for October 6
:)
Is the fact she committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother ever going to be addressed?
Let them cry, they took away MTG’s seats for less.
They were all too happy to toss their own congressman from New York out of the house for merely lying in his campaign. I forget his name now but just wondering how many Democrats would be expelled from congress for comparable malfeasance?
It's on the docket, right after the Hillary case using an illegal server and sharing national intelligence.
Massie is a worm that far too many here on FR defend, no matter how much he supports democrats...
Probably not until election time...............
