US EditionHouse turns back effort to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar over remarks about Charlie Kirk
House Republicans introduced multiple resolutions to censure and remove Rep. Ilhan Omar over comments about Charlie Kirk, but a narrow bipartisan vote blocked the measure.
- On September 17, 2025, the House voted 214-213 against a measure proposing formal reprimand of Rep. Ilhan Omar in response to her comments concerning Charlie Kirk's assassination.
- This resolution followed Omar's interview with Mehdi Hasan last week, where she expressed condolences for Kirk's family but criticized people for overlooking his past controversial comments.
- Congresswoman Nancy Mace filed the resolution citing Omar's reposting of posts that called Kirk a stochastic terrorist and accused her of mocking Kirk's murder and grieving family.
- Mace asserted that celebrating murder and making light of a political assassination disqualifies someone from holding a committee seat, while Omar denied being directly quoted in the resolution and labeled Mace as "unhinged."
- The failed censure highlights growing polarization and concerns about political violence, with some Republicans and Democrats urging lower rhetoric while others see the efforts as politically motivated.
