US President Donald Trump has attacked Representative Ilhan Omar, calling her a “disgraceful person” and a “loser.” His remarks came Monday after Omar’s recent comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kirk was killed last week during a college event in Utah.
Trump’s statement was made when asked if Omar should lose her committee roles. He said it was “hard to believe” that voters continued to support her. He also accused her of being “disgusting” in her views.
Political Fallout After Charlie Kirk’s Death
Republicans have mounted pressure on Omar following Kirk’s killing. Representative Buddy Carter of Georgia introduced a resolution to remove Omar from the House Budget Committee and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. He argued that her comments showed she was unfit to serve.
Carter described Kirk as a “God-fearing, honorable man” and condemned Omar for criticizing his legacy. He said free speech must not be met with violence and accused Democrats of justifying Kirk’s assassination.
Omar has defended her stance. In an interview with Zeteo, she recalled Kirk’s past comments on slavery and Juneteenth. She said Republicans were ignoring his long record of controversial remarks. She also clarified that she empathized with Kirk’s family despite political differences.
Omar Pushes Back Against Attacks
Omar later wrote on X that she condemned Kirk’s murder “multiple times.” She said her faith teaches peace and compassion. She accused right-wing groups of twisting her words to create a false narrative.
“I don’t wish violence on anyone,” Omar said, stressing that her criticism was about Kirk’s rhetoric, not his death. She argued that Republicans were using the tragedy to attack Democrats and distract from Trump’s own inflammatory rhetoric.
According to Reuters, Omar’s comments have deepened partisan tensions in Washington. Democrats argue that her remarks were taken out of context. Republicans maintain she disrespected Kirk’s memory.
The row has become another flashpoint in the sharp divide over political speech in the United States. Trump’s attack, branding Omar a “disgraceful, loser,” has further fueled the heated debate.
