Rep. Ilhan Omar faces ethics complaint over response to Charlie Kirk assassination threat
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has been hit with a House Ethics complaint over her response to Charlie Kirk's assassination, and Chairman Mike Flood plans to refer her case for an investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
House Main Street Caucus Chairman Mike Flood has referred Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar to a House Ethics Committee investigation over her response to Charlie Kirk's assassination, marking the first time an elected official has been targeted by the caucus over the topic. The referral was made in accordance with the caucus's rules and will be reviewed by the committee. Omar has faced criticism for suggesting that Kirk's death was related to his anti-Islam rhetoric, sparking a heated debate on social media and within Congress. If the investigation finds wrongdoing, it could lead to disciplinary action against Omar.
