US EditionIlhan Omar says Charlie Kirk claimed 'guns save lives' and downplayed slavery
Ilhan Omar's comments on Charlie Kirk's controversial views sparked backlash amid political tensions following his murder at a public event, with the shooter still at large.
- On Thursday, Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized Charlie Kirk during a Zeteo interview with Mehdi Hasan, focusing on his past rhetoric rather than only offering condolences.
- On Wednesday, Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot at Utah Valley University and later died; authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson on Friday.
- Omar said that Charlie Kirk downplayed slavery, said `Guns save lives' after a school shooting, and stated `And so, you know, these people are full of sh--, and it's important for us to call them out,' Omar said.
- Omar responded that critics were misrepresenting her words by noting she condemned Kirk's murder multiple times, while conservative influencer accounts and Laura Loomer called for her removal Thursday.
- Mehdi Hasan accused Republicans of weaponising Kirk's killing, while federal and local investigators review surveillance and rifle evidence; President Donald Trump ordered flags at half-staff and announced a posthumous Medal of Freedom.
