Phil Mickelson Urges Ilhan Omar’s Removal to Somalia After Her CNN Remarks on Charlie Kirk

The golfer’s posts intensify conservative backlash after Omar refused to honor Kirk’s legacy following his assassination.

Overview

  • Mickelson wrote on X that Rep. Ilhan Omar "came here fraudulently" and should "hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon."
  • His comments responded to a CNN interview where Omar called Charlie Kirk "Dr. Frankenstein" and said his legacy belongs in the "dustbin of history."
  • Mickelson has repeatedly posted about Kirk since the Sept. 10 assassination at Utah Valley University, including sharing commentary he linked to Kirk’s message.
  • He amplified Rep. Nancy Mace’s calls to punish Omar, reposting Mace’s censure push and a post saying, "We would love to see you deported back to Somalia next."
  • Omar narrowly avoided a House censure effort last week that also sought to strip her committee assignments, as conservative criticism continued online.
