Overview

• Omar told Don Lemon she has nothing to apologize for, called Kirk’s killing a tragedy, offered condolences to his family, and said there is no legacy to honor.
• She described Kirk’s record as bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy, and said as a Black woman and Muslim she would not soften her assessment.
• A spokesperson told Fox News that Omar has repeatedly condemned the murder and accused right‑wing outlets of twisting her words and endangering her.
• Rep. Nancy Mace’s resolution to censure Omar was narrowly tabled 214–213 after four Republicans joined Democrats.
• Omar previously drew an Ethics Committee complaint after defending a video labeling Kirk “Dr. Frankenstein,” a controversy she says has been taken out of context.
