Trump says 'scum' Omar should be impeached, claims she married brother

The House of Representatives voted 214-213 against censuring Rep. Ilhan Omar for her comments after Charlie Kirk's assassination, with four Republicans joining Democrats to block the measure.

  • Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar faced impeachment demands following her controversial remarks about the fatal shooting of conservative figure Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025.
  • The backlash stemmed from Omar's comments and a conspiracy theory falsely claiming she married her brother to gain U.S. citizenship, which has been repeatedly debunked.
  • A resolution introduced by GOP Rep. Nancy Mace proposing to formally reprimand Omar and strip her of membership on two House committees was narrowly defeated in a 214-213 vote, allowing her to retain her committee positions.
  • President Donald Trump repeatedly attacked Omar on Truth Social, calling her 'scum' and urging fast impeachment while disparaging her native Somalia's political and social conditions.
  • The failed censure highlights deep division in Congress over Omar's comments and the limits of political accountability amid ongoing partisan conflicts.
