Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Thursday criticized Republican attacks on the left after the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, saying they were “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 Thursday.

“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 that the 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.
