Ilhan Omar says that Charlie Kerk did not have a “great legacy to collect people together”
On Friday, American Democratic Democratic Actress Ilhan Omar faced the state of Minnesota on whether she regrets the timing of her comments immediately after the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Omar said in an interview with CNN, “It is one thing that cares about his life because it is clear that many people love him, including his children and his wife. But I will not sit here and judge his unwillingness to honor any legacy that this man has left.
Newsweek I arrived at Turning Point Usa via an online model for comment.
Why do it matter
A member of the Democratic Congress said that she was not in line with Kirk’s legacy, saying that she was full of “hatred” and “anger of appeal.”
Kirk, 31, was a strong supporter of President Donald Trump and Maga Voice for Younger Generations, followed important social media, with a co -founder of Turning Point Usa.
He was killed in a deadly manner last week on the campus of the University of Utah Valley in Urim, Utah, during a question and answers session.
What do you know
Omar also spoke with the Kaitlan Collins from CNN on Friday evening about the conflict of the ongoing members of Congress with Trump and Republican Republican actress Nancy Mas of South Carolina, which led to a failed vote this week in the House of Representatives.
On September 18, she rejected the house with a slight difference to the decision to monitor Omar because of her statements and social media after the assassination of Kirk. The vote, which failed in 214-213, prevented a MACE proposal, which also called for the removal of Omar from the positions of its committee, including the Education and Manpower Education Committee and the House of Representatives Budget Committee.
The next day, Kirk’s death, Omar spoke with journalist Mahdi Hassan Ali Olive GalleryAnd telling him: “There are many people who are talking about it just want only a civil discussion. These people are full of s ***, and it is important for us to invite them while we feel angry and sad.”
Four Republican lawmakers joined the Democrats in opposing the blame, which Mass said he justified because of what she described as unclean Omar comments on Kirk.
“When we say that we want a united country, it begins with all of us and all our actions and we do not see it on the other side of the corridor at the present time,” Omar Collins said on Friday night.
Democracy in Minnesota also said that it extends “grace” to Kirk’s wife and her children in the interview with CNN, adding: “I cannot imagine what they are going through. But the truth is that his wife is sitting as these things said.”
Democratic legislator also called on Trump to urge her to isolate her. A third of the members of Congress are required to topple members; It cannot be isolated.
What people say
Trump, on the social truth Thursday: “The country of Ilhan Omar in Somalia suffers from a lack of control of the central government, continuous poverty, hunger, virtual terrorism, piracy, contracts of civil war, corruption, and widespread violence. 70 % of the population lives in maximum poverty, and the insecurity of food security on a large scale.
“Somalia is constantly classified between the most corrupt countries in the world, including bribery, embezzlement and the dispensed government. All this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to manage America! It was not the one who married her brother in order to obtain citizenship ???
“Thank you for your interest in this matter. Make America great again!”
Democratic Senator Tina Smith from Minnesota, on Wednesday: “I just took in Cesspool, which is the social media at NanaCy MACE. It is a shameful way to explain my friend Ilhan Omar to raise money for herself. Frankly, what was doing the representative who was explaining everything that is wrong in our policy now.”
What happens after that
The failure of the blaming proposal leaves Omar at the positions of the current Parliament Committee, but Republican lawmakers indicated that similar efforts could resume.
