Outrage over comments about Charlie Kirk in a video shared by Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota may lead to her being stripped of her congressional committee assignments.
The video criticized the conservative response to Kirk's death and blamed the rhetoric on the right for creating the circumstances that led to his assassination. Omar reposted the video from her account on the X social media platform, according to screenshots captured online.
"Kirk was a reprehensible human being ... a stochastic terrorist," said the commentator on the video. "With his last dying words, he was spewing racist dog whistles. Charlie Kirk was Dr. Frankenstein, and his monster shot him through the neck."
In response, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina said she would file a motion to punish Omar.
