Republicans have escalated their campaign to silence criticism of Charlie Kirk’s record, targeting Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar over remarks she made after his shooting, and calling for her to be stripped of government committee roles.
In an interview last week, Omar said she had “empathy” for Kirk’s widow but hit out at those who suggest the right wing influencer “wanted a civil debate”. She also criticised Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, accusing her of “harassing those she finds inferior”.
