Omar then disagreed with commentators who framed Kirk as \u201cjust wanting to have a civil debate,\u201d prompting Hasan to call their characterization a \u201ccomplete rewriting of history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d Omar responded. \u201cThere is nothing more effed up than to completely pretend that his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She then accused President Donald Trump of \u201cincit[ing] violence against people like me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Omar has responded to the fallout by calling Kirk\u2019s death \u201cmortifying\u201d and accusing Republicans of taking her comments out of context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese people are full of s**t,\u201d Omar told Hasan about Republicans in general. \u201cAnd it\u2019s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness, and have, you know, empathy, which Charlie said, \u2018No, it shouldn\u2019t exist,\u2019 because that\u2019s a newly created word or something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She later tried to walk back her comments on X, writing, \u201cWhile I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I don\u2019t wish violence on anyone. My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion. Right-wing accounts trying to spin a false story when I condemned his murder multiple times is fitting for their agenda to villainize the left to hide from the fact that Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/states-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/omar-19-1001x1024.png\"){kind=spacer}
