“Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said,” Omar wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any. Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology. This is all an attempt to push a false story so she can fundraise and boost her run for Governor,” she added.<\/p>\n

The resolution does not feature a specific quote from Omar, but it does cite reposts from the Minnesota congresswoman, who called Kirk “reprehensible” and an “adamant transphobe.”<\/p>\n

Omar’s comments in a Zeteo town hall are also in the resolution. In the town hall, she said Kirk downplayed slavery and said he claimed “guns save lives&rdquo<\/a>; after a school shooting.<\/p>\n

Mace is running for governor of South Carolina in 2026. She said earlier Tuesday that she “can’t wait” to make Omar the 29th member of Congress ever to be censured.<\/p>\n

“No one deserves it more than Omar, who mocked the assassination of a 31-year-old husband and father, smearing him as a ‘stochastic terrorist’ for telling the truth,” she wrote on X.<\/p>\n

The South Carolina congresswoman also sought to strip Omar of her committee assignments on the House Education and Workforce Committee and the House Budget Committee.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>“If you mock a political assassination and celebrate murder, you don’t get to keep your committee seat, you get consequences,” Mace said in an accompanying statement.<\/p>\n

Democrats have criticized Mace’s attempt to censure Omar. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Republicans have used the tactic whenever they are “offended.”<\/p>\n
“Every time a Republican in this House is offended, they file a censure resolution,” she said.<\/p>\n

Kirk’s death brought a tremendous response across the political spectrum. Many lawmakers, conservative and liberal alike, mourned him and the incident of political violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
