Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing renewed backlash after a video surfaced showing her intensifying her criticism of slain Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk during a town hall in Robbinsdale, Minnesota.

The remarks came just days after Omar had already drawn scrutiny for calling Kirk a “stochastic terrorist” in a television appearance and social media post.

Earlier this week, a House motion to censure Omar and remove her from committee assignments failed when four Republican lawmakers joined Democrats in voting to table the measure.

The resolution was introduced in response to comments Omar made following Kirk’s assassination on September 10 in Utah.

During an appearance with Medhi Hasan the next day, Omar said it was “effed up” that people described Kirk as someone who only wanted civil debate.

On Friday, new footage emerged from a town hall Omar held on Saturday, September 13, at the Elim Lutheran Church in Robbinsdale.

When asked by an attendee whether it was better to invite opponents to open debate or to simply dismiss them as “full of sh*t,” Omar seized the opportunity to continue her attacks on Kirk.

The man’s question referenced her earlier language on Hasan’s program, where she had used the same phrase about President Donald Trump and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC).

“The people who were full of sh*t were the people that were saying that Kirk was civil,” Omar said in response, receiving applause from the audience.

She added, “I do believe those of you interested in rewriting this hateful man’s history are full of sh*t.”

Her comments directly attacked both Kirk and those who sought to highlight his record of promoting civil debate.

The setting drew particular attention, as Omar delivered the remarks from a church pulpit during a town hall meeting.

Kirk, who was assassinated at age 30, was remembered in the House resolution as a “courageous American patriot” who “lived out his faith with conviction, courage, and compassion.”

The measure also condemned his killing and commended law enforcement for apprehending the suspect in the case.

Omar, however, has stood by her criticism.

During her appearance on Hasan’s program, she claimed to be a person of “deep faith” and argued that her beliefs prevent her from “dancing on people’s graves.”

Despite that assertion, her continued remarks against Kirk, delivered both on national television and at the Robbinsdale event, have been viewed by many lawmakers as inconsistent with that statement.

The fallout has also reignited debate among Republicans who voted to block her censure.

While 215 Republicans and 95 Democrats supported the resolution honoring Kirk’s life, the censure effort against Omar failed after a small group of GOP members opposed it.

Critics of those lawmakers are now pointing to Omar’s latest remarks as further justification that disciplinary action was warranted.

The controversy marks the latest in a series of disputes surrounding Omar’s statements about political opponents.

Her comments following Kirk’s death have fueled tensions in the House and amplified calls from some members of Congress to revisit disciplinary measures.

For now, Omar continues to defend her position, while her critics argue that her language, particularly in the context of a church town hall, showcases the need for accountability.

Whether Republican leadership will pursue another attempt at censure remains to be seen, but Omar’s remarks have ensured the issue remains at the forefront of congressional debate.
