Mace Moves To Strip Ilhan Omar Of Committee Seats

(Washington, D.C., September 15, 2025)- Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) has filed a resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and strip her of all House committee assignments for her vile comments mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

"Ilhan Omar has shown us exactly who she is: someone who defends political violence and refuses to condemn the loss of innocent lives when it doesn't suit her agenda, even the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk," said Congresswoman Mace. "If you mock a political assassination and celebrate murder, you don't get to keep your committee seat, you get consequences."

The resolution follows Omar's September 11 interview on the "Breaking Points" podcast, which she later reposted on her own social media, where she demeaned Charlie Kirk, belittled his grieving family, and all but blamed him for his own assassination.

In the interview, just days after his murder, Omar mocked those mourning Kirk, claiming people who say "Charlie Kirk just wanted to have a civil debate" are "full of s-." She added, "There is nothing more f-ed up than to completely pretend that his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so." When told that millions are mourning Kirk and that some described him as a civil debater, Omar dismissed their grief outright, calling it "complete rewriting of history."

Omar also shared a separate video calling Charlie Kirk a "stochastic terrorist" and a "reprehensible human being," accusing him of promoting hatred right up to his final moments.

Key Provisions of the Resolution:

• Formally censures Omar before the full House of Representatives.
• Requires Omar to stand in the well of the House as the censure is publicly read aloud by the Speaker.
• Strips Omar of her committee assignments on the House Education and Workforce Committee and the House Budget Committee.
