Far-Left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has doubled down on nasty remarks she’s made about assassinated 31-year-old conservative Charlie Kirk, adding that Kirk’s legacy belongs in the “dustbin of history.”

CNN host Kaitlin Collins on Friday asked Omar about her recent derogatory comments about Kirk, including how she shared a post that blamed Kirk for his own assassination, calling the conservative “Dr. Frankenstein” whose “monster shot him through the neck.”

Omar refused to apologize, telling Collins, “What I find jarring is that there’s so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they are willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress honoring his life and legacy.”

“I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind,” she continued. “That should be in the dustbin of history and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.”

As referenced by Collins, Omar took heat after she shared the video blaming Kirk for his assassination. GOP Rep. Brandon Gill responded, “Ilhan Omar didn’t just make reprehensible comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. She shared a disgusting video claiming Charlie had it coming to him. People are losing their jobs for far less.”

Additionally, Omar recently said at an event held in a church, “I do believe those of you interested in rewriting this hateful man’s (Kirk’s) history are full of s***.”

Andrew Kolvet, TPUSA spokesman and the executive producer of “The Charlie Kirk Show,” reacted on X: “May you live a life so extraordinary, so courageous, and so true, that your enemies hate you as much as they hated Charlie. Their hatred consumes them and is now apparent to the world.”

“‘I’m not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustbin of history,'” activist and Outkick podcast host Riley Gaines quoted Omar.

“You’re wrong. You WILL be judged,” Gaines remarked. “I pray for your salvation.”

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) simply wrote under the video, “Deport.”
