Squad member Ilhan Omar intensified her criticism of Charlie Kirk, saying he should be ‘left in the dustbin of history’.

The Democrat congresswoman from Minnesota remained firm during a spirited CNN interview, refusing to apologize for rejecting tributes to Kirk.

‘What I find jarring is the number of people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things he said, agree with them, want monuments for him, a day in his honor, and resolutions in Congress honoring his life and legacy,’ Omar stated to anchor Kaitlan Collins.

‘It’s one thing to care about his life, as many loved him, like his children and wife, but I refuse to be judged for not wanting to honor the legacy he left behind.’

‘That should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day,’ she added. 

Omar’s resolute comments have sparked criticism from Republicans, conservative activists, and other lawmakers, accusing her of ‘disgusting’ behavior and disrespecting Kirk’s grieving family.

Her remarks came only days after reposting a video blaming the 31-year-old for his own assassination. 

She shared a video blaming Kirk for his death and remained unapologetic when questioned about her remarks, including a repost comparing Kirk to ‘Dr. Frankenstein,’ hinting he fostered the environment leading to his assassination.

Her comments immediately sparked outrage on social media and Capitol Hill. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) blasted Omar’s conduct. 

‘Ilhan Omar didn’t just make reprehensible comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. 

‘She shared a disgusting video claiming Charlie had it coming to him. People are losing their jobs for far less.’

The video in question, which Omar reposted to her own platform, accused Kirk of inciting his own death by allegedly fueling a climate of hate. 

The clip described the late Turning Point USA founder as Dr. Frankenstein and said ‘his monster shot him through the neck.’ 

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet, a close colleague of Kirk’s and executive producer of ‘The Charlie Kirk Show,’ posted a blistering response on X.

‘May you live a life so extraordinary, so courageous, and so true, that your enemies hate you as much as they hated Charlie. Their hatred consumes them and is now apparent to the world.’ 

Omar had previously criticized Kirk’s views on gun ownership and race, particularly in the aftermath of George Floyd’s killing in her home city of Minneapolis

Prominent conservative activist and podcast host Riley Gaines also weighed in after quoting Omar’s ‘dustbin of history’ comment.

‘You’re wrong. You WILL be judged,’ Gaines posted. ‘I pray for your salvation.’  

Despite Collins pressing Omar on the tastelessness of blaming a dead man for his own murder, Omar stood her ground and offered no apology.

The controversy reached a boiling point earlier in the week when House Republicans attempted to formally censure Omar over her comments about Kirk, though the measure narrowly failed. 

Omar had previously criticized Kirk’s views on gun ownership and race, particularly in the aftermath of George Floyd’s killing in her home city of Minneapolis.

After the vote to censure her fell short, President Donald Trump delivered his own scathing rebuke of Omar.

‘She’s terrible,’ Trump said, furious the House would not punish one of its own over what he called ‘grotesque comments about a murdered patriot.’ 

Kirk, 31, was assassinated earlier this month at Utah Valley University during what authorities have described as a targeted political attack. 

The alleged gunman, Tyler Robinson, reportedly had a history of left-wing extremism and allegedly confessed the murder to a trans-identifying partner.
