Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said Monday she plans to file a resolution to strip her House colleague, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), of committee assignments following comments from Omar in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death.

“BREAKING: We’re filing a resolution to strip @Ilhan of her committee assignments after her disgraceful remarks on Charlie Kirk’s assassination,” Mace said in a post on the social platform X Monday evening.

The resolution, also featured in Mace’s post, has a goal of “censuring Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and removing her from the Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee on the Budget.”

Last week, Omar criticized Republican attacks on the left after the fatal shooting of Kirk, calling them “full of s‑‑‑.”

“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,” Omar told left-wing pundit Mehdi Hasan in an interview on his Zeteo platform.

“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,” she added. 

Omar also said video and news of Kirk’s assassination were “really mortifying.”

“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,” she told Hasan.

Shortly after Kirk’s death, Mace decried his death via a series of social media posts, placing blame on the left for a rise in political violence despite statements from Democrats condemning the fatal shooting

“If you have a different opinion from the left, they want to kill you. That is a fact, and that’s the way you all should report it,” Mace said previously. 

The Hill has reached out to Omar’s office for comment.
