Ilhan Omar, Mehdi Hasan lie about Charlie Kirk’s message favoring ‘civil debate,’ call it ‘rewriting of history’

The two were speaking on a podcast when Omar said, "Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis Police."

Hasan interjected, "I think you called him a scumbag," to which Omar agreed.

"Right, have no regard. Downplay slavery and what black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist. And I think you know that there are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate," Omar added.

Hasan again interjected, and said that the way Kirk was being remembered, for encouraging civil debate, was a "complete rewriting of history."

Omar agreed and said that it was "effed up" to "completely pretend that you know his words and actions have not been recorded, and in existence for the last decade."

Additionally, the Democrat lawmaker, in light of Kirk's death, shared a video from an account that labeled Kirk a "stochastic terrorist" who believed in the "subjugation of women" and that his rhetoric as well as that from the GOP caused his assassination. None of this is true either.

Kirk was shot to death on Wednesday while speaking and debating college students at Utah Valley University. Authorities have identified the shooter as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. The suspect has been charged with Kirk's murder as well as other charges after his father turned him into authorities.
