(D-Minn.) went on a cruel rant about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk, scoffing at the notion that his core mission was to have a civil debate on politics.
''There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate,'' Omar sneered to progressive outlet Zeteo. ''These people are full of s— and it's important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness''
Omar groused that the TurningPoint USA founder downplayed Saint George Floyd
...The patron saint of Minneapolis...and opposed Juneteenth.
''There is nothing more f—ed up than to pretend that his words and actions haven't been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so,'' she added, further accusing Kirk of posting ''hateful rhetoric'' on social media.
Omar is far from the only Democrat or public official to have voiced an unsympathetic view of Kirk's murder.
On Wednesday, just hours after Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker laid blamed on President Trump for the conservative activist's death. ''Political violence unfortunately has been ratcheting up in this country,'' Pritzker told news hounds, referencing the recent murder of Minnesota's Democratic House speaker. ''I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country — I think the president's rhetoric often foments it.''
''We've seen the January 6th rioters who clearly have tripped a new era of political violence,'' Pritzker added, making no mention of the two liquidation attempts against Trump.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) blamed ''political rhetoric'' from ''both sides'' for Kirk's death
''Political violence is never the answer. It divides us. But also, I've got to say, political rhetoric, too, from both sides, often gets out of hand and it incites people to do things like this,'' Kelly argued on CNN
