Overview

• Lawmakers voted 214–213 to table Rep. Nancy Mace’s bid to censure Ilhan Omar and remove her from committees, with Republicans Mike Flood, Jeff Hurd, Tom McClintock and Cory Mills joining Democrats.
• Mace’s resolution cited an interview and a reposted video critical of Charlie Kirk but included no direct quotes from Omar, who said she condemned political violence and accused Mace of fundraising off the controversy.
• Democrats forced the tabling vote, and Rep. Greg Casar announced plans for a retaliatory censure targeting Rep. Cory Mills, reflecting an escalating tit-for-tat over disciplinary measures.
• Mace publicly suggested Omar should be deported or stripped of citizenship, drawing rebukes from Democrats, while McClintock defended his vote to table on First Amendment grounds.
• The clash followed Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University and coincided with related GOP proposals and a separate pending resolution from Rep. Buddy Carter to remove Omar from committee posts.
