Omar Referred to Ethics Committee for Remarks on Charlie Kirk Murder
“Instead of offering grace after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, she mocked, insulted, and belittled his memory.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing a new round of scrutiny after narrowly escaping a censure vote this week. The move to table censure, backed by all Democrats and four Republicans, has now been followed by one of those Republicans initiating a formal Ethics Committee complaint.
House Main Street Caucus Chairman Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE), who voted to table Rep. Nancy Mace’s censure motion, said he did so only to allow an official ethics review first.
“I will be filing tomorrow … a complaint with the Committee on Ethics in the House of Representatives with 18 very concerning incidents and/or behaviors and/or statements that, on their face, reflect poorly on the House of Representatives,” Flood said.
Flood emphasized that the complaint will focus heavily on Omar’s “obnoxious, insulting and dismissive comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk,” while also raising issues such as her use of TikTok and prior conduct at immigration events.
“Ilhan Omar’s statements and social media posts are reprehensible and should be referred to the Ethics Committee. The appropriate time to consider a censure motion would be after ethics reviews her conduct,” Flood explained.
“Have you demonstrated that you are behaving at all times in a manner that reflects credibly on the House?”
The Nebraska Republican noted he took the same approach in a previous censure case involving Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), insisting that waiting for an ethics review “makes a censure far more credible.”
The uproar began after Omar’s remarks on conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Instead of offering condolences, she ridiculed conservatives for mourning and attacked President Trump for blaming the assassin’s ideology.
As Legal Insurrection previously reported, Omar said in an interview with left-wing commentator and former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan:
“Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police… have no regard, downplay slavery and what black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist,” Omar said.
“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… And so, these people are full of sh*t and it’s important for us to call them out.”
Her comments ignited outrage. Omar later posted a defensive statement on X, claiming her critics took her words out of context:
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.

Later, however, video surfaced from a separate event, Omar doubled down even more bluntly:
🚨 ILHAN OMAR ON CHARLIE KIRK: “I do believe those of you interested in rewriting this hateful man's history are full of shit."

With Flood’s referral, the fight over Omar’s rhetoric now moves from floor votes to a formal investigation. Instead of offering grace after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, she mocked, insulted, and belittled his memory. Members of Congress are expected to uphold the dignity of their office, not revel in inflammatory soundbites. The Ethics Committee will now weigh whether Omar’s behavior crossed the line from partisan rhetoric into a fundamental breach of responsibility.

It won’t matter. They had 4 Republicans refuse to censure her. This will probably never make it through committee.
Correct. The GOPe will ride to rescue their leftist pals like they always do. We voters have to show up in primaries and take out the trash.
Charlie’s words have been recorded indeed. But Omar and other democrats don’t listen to him speak because he’s a Nazi so they make up quotes and talking points. They constructed a version of Charlie to get mad at, to galvanize their base, and to shoot.
It doesn’t matter what Charlie actually said. She heard what she wanted to hear. She always does.
And she thinks the same way about all conservatives.
She hates all Christians and Jews. We all know why.
You can say it. Omar hates Christians and Jews because she’s a moslem and one tenet of the islamic political ideology is that you must hate people of other religions as they are infidels.
And then lie about it. Quite a “religion”.
I would slightly disagree. She hates Christians and Jews because she’s a muslim AND she’s a progressive. She has a foot in each religion, IMO.
wake me when something substantial happens ….. like IDK hmmm
‘gibbetting … or Impalement …
or being fed to a salt water croc.
or maybe having fish guts tide to her and dropped into a shark tank.
or feet first into a wood chipper…
let me think about it and c if I can
get creative… 😀
Also…
My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion.
Well, that’s the biggest pile of scheisse I’ve heard in a long time. The only peace your religion advocates for are the peace of the grave or the submission of slavery.
like everything else
they say the opposite so as to mislead
Taqiyya. Muslims are not only allowed to lie to non-Muslims, but encouraged to. Anything is permissible as long as it advances their cause.
I thought she was saying it’s soap opera and the Republicans are trying to capitalize on it. That part’s right.
her “revelation” that she was defending a holy war in the usa is as bad or worse ( if possible) than both her defense of thuggg gf and her race baiting hate for charlie kirk
Should refer her to ICE instead
For what? She was validly naturalized so she’s now as American as anyone else.
Nothing will happen.
I kinda get the motivations behind the Committee for Aesthetic Deletions.
the left not only violently attacked congress but the ahole jimmy carter ( rest in peacer let them go and the msm lied to help cover him but even the admin denied what the msm said:
Figueroa Cordero was released in 1978. One year later, in 1979, President Jimmy Carter commuted the sentences of the remaining perpetrators.[2] Some analysts said this was in exchange for Fidel Castro’s release of several American CIA agents being held in Cuba on espionage charges, but the US said that was not the case.[20][21] The freed nationalists were received in Puerto Rico with a “heroes’ welcome” by roughly 5,000 people at San Juan International Airport.[29]

Trump brought up that she married her brother.
The country is moving away from these anti-American politicians like Omar and even AOC. Their poison is out in the open. They are heroes among their ilk, which is shrinking by the day. It’s great that they expose themselves and they should keep it up.
I wish I could share your optimism that her ilk is shrinking, but I don’t think that is the case.. Our population is too spoiled, ignorant and lazy to understand the true nature of the commie siren song.
You forgot stupid.
I’m still kind of unclear why that whole marrying her brother thing doesn’t merit some kind of official condemnation.
b/c those who dont know who their fathers are and live in close communities might be dragged into that
Why would it? She wasn’t a congressman when it happened, so how is it Congress’s business?
4 “members’ of the gop say its free speech ( which it is ) but lefty is playing to win as they know they are at war with the usa and some in the gop keep pretending its just debate
there are no rules in war
only after the victory can any conciliatory sounds be made to the left’’until then we
pray for peace
Does anyone else find the concept of a Congressional Ethics Committee to be a perfect example of an internal contradiction?
Subotai Bahadur
It shouldn’t be, but is.
Mentioning ethics in the presence of a D is like waving a cross in front of a vampire. They both shriek in terror and attempt to flee far from it.
But at the same time, they expect Republicans to follow ethics guidelines to the letter and any single thing they think is a violation is grounds for a full investigation.
One of Saul Alinsky’s rules
Nah, they just redefine it.

I was following the tweets OK until I got to the one where EndWokeness said “Look at their grins.” My sarcasm meter went into v-fib from indeterminacy and I had to powercycle it.
“The Nebraska Republican …insisting that waiting for an ethics review “makes a censure far more credible.”
It also lets the heat cool down, so when nothing happens, no one will notice.
Charge her for immigration fraud and deport, pronto!!!
She can’t be deported because she was validly naturalized. No crime she committed after that can change it.
