Johnson Looks to Let Omar Slide Even After Treasonous Charlie Kirk Comments House Speaker Mike Johnson won’t commit to taking any disciplinary action against Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar for her comments blaming Charlie Kirk for his own assassination, despite his power to strip her of committee assignments or put forward a resolution calling for her expulsion from Congress. In a Sunday appearance on Face the Nation, Johnson decried the danger of name-calling. “I mean calling people Nazis and fascists is not helpful,” Johnson said. “Look, there are some deranged people in society, and when they see leaders using that kind of language so often now, increasingly, it spurs them onto action. We have to recognize that reality and address it appropriately.” Americans should be able to debate policy without conservatives being murdered in front of their families by left-wing trans terrorists. What a weak little man. https://t.co/rkqLspn2eF — John Daniel Davidson (@johnddavidson) September 15, 2025 But Johnson didn’t offer details Sunday about what an appropriate response looks like, even though he has a responsibility to respond to the ugly statements Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., made during an interview on the Mehdi Hasan podcast while discussing the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “There are a lot of people who are out there talking about [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate,” Omar said. “It’s bullsh-t! A complete rewriting of history,” Hasan interjected.
