Rep. Ilhan Omar is under fire following controversial remarks about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Omar criticized tributes to Kirk, calling him a “reprehensible human being” and a “stochastic terrorist.”
Her statements sparked widespread outrage. Rep. Nancy Mace attempted a censure vote, which ultimately failed, while public figures—including golfer Phil Mickelson—criticized Omar, suggesting she should “be sent back” to Somalia.
Former President Donald Trump responded with a sharp remark of his own, joking to Somalia’s president that he should “take her back,” further fueling the controversy.
