“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has doubled down on her vile remarks about Charlie Kirk and his assassination — dismissing the late conservative for having “no legacy to honor.”

“I have nothing to apologize for,” the defiant progressive told Don Lemon’s YouTube show when asked about the firestorm she started for previous attacks so soon after a sniper killed Kirk as he debated students in Utah.

“You know, it is a tragedy that Charlie Kirk was killed in that way. I feel for his widow and his children. They will have to live with that for the rest of their lives,” she told the former CNN anchor of the shooting death seen in a sickening close-up video.

“But there is no legacy to honor. It was a legacy filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy. And as a black woman and as a Muslim in this country, I refuse to join the chorus that changes the history of what is on the record from this man.”

She went on to argue that Kirk’s “crazy people” supporters — including President Trump — could “do whatever they want to do” but she wouldn’t be “bullied into complacency, into dishonoring who I am and what I stand for, just to, you know, make them feel comfortable.”

Omar sparked particularly fierce backlash for scoffing at the notion that Kirk’s core mission was to have a civil debate on politics.

“There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate,” Omar groused to progressive outlet Zeteo. “These people are full of s—t and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness.”

“There is nothing more f–ked up than to pretend that his words and actions haven’t been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so,” she added as she accused Kirk of posting “hateful rhetoric” on social media.

She later shared a separate video on X slamming Democrats and celebrities for “normalizing Kirk” — describing Trump’s ally as a “reprehensible human being” and a “stochastic terrorist.”

In response to the trash talk, Trump last week said he had told Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to “take back” Omar to her native country.

“I met the head of Somalia, did you know that?” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, referring to the home country of the Minnesota “Squad” lawmaker.

“And I suggested that maybe he’d like to take her back. And he said, ‘I don’t want her.’”

The intense amount of whitewashing around this guy is truly something to behold

I mean, whitewashing doesn't even really say it, it's as if his character is being entirely retconned out of existence and replaced with something more politically expedient

The NY Post is a garbage tabloid source, but I can't find any fault with this quote from Omar. She speaks the truth.
