Republican Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina announced Monday on her X account that she plans to soon introduce a resolution to strip Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota of her committee assignments in the House of Representatives, following comments the socialist leader made after the murder of conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. "BREAKING: We are introducing a resolution to strip @Ilhan of her committee assignments after her disgraceful comments on the murder of Charlie Kirk," Mace wrote on social media.
The resolution, which was included in the Republican leader’s post, seeks to "censure Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and remove her from the Committee on Education and the Workforce and from the Budget Committee." The proposal comes a week after Omar lashed out at Republican and conservative figures who criticized the U.S. left in the wake of Kirk's murder, calling them "full of sh###t."
"It's important that we point them out"
During an interview with left-wing commentator Mehdi Hasan, Omar commented, "You have people like Nancy Mace, who constantly harass, you know, people that she finds inferior and wants them not to exist in this country or ever. And, you know, you have people like Trump, who has incited violence against people like me. And so, you know, these people are full of s###, and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness." Omar added about Kirk that "There is nothing more f—ked up than to pretend that his words and actions haven’t been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so."
Likewise, the progressive representative also commented during the interview that the numerous news stories and videos that surfaced on social media about Kirk's murder were "really mortifying." Similarly, Omar told Hasan, "It was really mortifying to hear the news, to see the video. You know, all I could think about was his wife, his children, that image is going to live forever."

"I can't emphasize enough the damage that social media and the internet is doing to all of us, those dopamine hits. These companies, trillion dollar market caps, the most powerful companies in the history of the world have figured out to how to hack our brains, get us addicted to outrage, which is the same type of dopamine, the same chemical that you get from taking fentanyl, get us addicted to outrage, and get us to hate each other," Cox explained during an interview on NBC News.
