House turns back effort to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar over remarks about Charlie Kirk
- 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.
