The swamp strikes again.
On Wednesday, Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-S.C.) effort to censure radical Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for her vile celebration of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk was derailed, not by Democrats alone, but by four spineless Republicans who chose to stand with the Left.
Rep. Mace had announced earlier this week that she would move forward with a resolution to strip Omar of her committee assignments.
During an interview with former MSNBC propagandist and Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan, Omar mocked Kirk, saying he got precisely what he deserved for simply expressing politically incorrect views. She also accused others of lying for saying Kirk wanted civil discourse.
OMAR: I do know for sure is that Charlie was someone who once said, “Guns save lives” after a school shooting. Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay George Floyd’s death at the hands of the Minneapolis police.
HASAN: He (Kirk) called him (Floyd) a scumbag.
OMAR: Right. (He) downplayed slavery and what black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist. Um, and I think there are a lot of people out there saying he just wanted to have a civil debate.
HASAN (chuckling): A complete rewriting of history.
OMAR: Right. There’s nothing more f’ed up than to completely pretend his words and actions have not been recorded (giggling) and in existence for the last decade or so.
Rep. Mace announced on X late Monday that she was filing a House resolution to strip the Somalia-born socialist of every single one of her committee assignments.
“Ilhan Omar should be censured and stripped of every committee seat. Mocking an assassination and glorifying political violence has no place in Congress. We’ll be leading floor debate tonight at 6:15.”

This righteous push came in direct response to Omar’s vile, unhinged gloating over the cold-blooded murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
“Ilhan Omar has shown us exactly who she is: she 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. It’s dangerous, disgraceful, and beneath the United States Congress. She must be stripped of every committee assignment. No excuses.”
However, according to Axios, when the censure measure came to the floor, four Republicans sided with Democrats to kill it.
- Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.)
- Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-Colo.)
- Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.)
- Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.)
These weak-kneed Republicans voted to table the measure, effectively giving Ilhan Omar a pass for celebrating political violence.

“4 Republicans sold out tonight. They sided with Democrats to protect Ilhan Omar. A woman who mocked the assassination of an innocent American husband and father,” Mace wrote on X.

“Democrats just voted to protect Ilhan Omar. Not Charlie Kirk, not his grieving family, not basic human decency. This is who they are. Never forget it.”
