Left-wing pundit Mehdi Hasan spoke to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on his podcast, with the two saying that it is a “rewriting of history” to say that Charlie Kirk’s legacy focused on having a “civil debate.” Kirk was literally assassinated as he was debating college students at Utah Valley University.
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.”
