The House of Representatives on Wednesday narrowly defeated a resolution seeking to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over recent remarks about Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n
The motion failed 214\u2013213, preventing the measure from reaching a full House vote. Four Republicans \u2014 Reps. Mike Flood of Nebraska, Tom McClintock of California, Jeff Hurd of Colorado, and Cory Mills of Florida \u2014 joined Democrats in supporting the move.<\/p>\n
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced the resolution Tuesday as a \u201cprivileged\u201d measure, requiring House leaders to act within two legislative days.<\/p>\n
Mace introduced the resolution in response to Omar\u2019s remarks following Kirk\u2019s assassination, which sparked strong backlash from conservatives over an interview with the far-left outlet Zeteo, where she criticized Kirk\u2019s past commentary as well as GOP reactions to his killing.<\/p>\n
She told the outlet, days after Kirk\u2019s assassination, that he had previously \u201cdownplayed slavery and what black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth shouldn\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are a lot of people out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate,\u201d the \u201cSquad\u201d member said. \u201cThere 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kirk\u2019s technique, practiced on every college campus he visited, was literally to engage audience members who disagreed with his points of view.<\/p>\n
In a statement to Explain America\u2019s Carmine Sabia, Mace ripped Omar over her remarks. \u201cIf you\u2019re Somalia first, you\u2019re not America first, and a one-way ticket to Somalia is the nicest thing we could do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, in a response to Omar, Mace posted on the X platform: \u201cIf you celebrate murder, maybe Somalia can take you back.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Mace said Omar mocked the assassination of Kirk, who was a husband and father of two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
