On September 11, 2025—one day after the killing—Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) appeared on Zeteo with journalist Mehdi Hasan. During the interview, she criticized Kirk's past statements rather than offering condolences, pointing to what she described as his inflammatory rhetoric. Key excerpts include.
- "Charlie was someone who once said, you know, ‘Guns save lives,’ after a school shooting."
"Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police." -
When Hasan interjected that Kirk had called George Floyd a "scumbag," Omar replied, "Right, [he] had no regard," and added that Kirk had "downplayed slavery... by saying Juneteenth should never exist."
