“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) went on a cruel rant about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk, scoffing at the notion that his 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 sneered to progressive outlet Zeteo. “These people are full of s— and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness.”

Omar groused that the TurningPoint USA founder downplayed George Floyd and opposed Juneteenth.

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

Omar is far from the only Democrat or public official to have voiced an unsympathetic view of Kirk’s murder.

On Wednesday, just hours after Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker laid blame on President Trump for the conservative activist’s death. 

“Political violence unfortunately has been ratcheting up in this country,” Pritzker told reporters, referencing the recent murder of Minnesota’s Democratic House speaker.

“I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country — I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it,” the Democratic governor continued.

“We’ve seen the January 6th rioters who clearly have tripped a new era of political violence,” Pritzker added, making no mention of the two assassination attempts against Trump. 

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) blamed “political rhetoric” from “both sides” for Kirk’s death

“Political violence is never the answer. It divides us. But also, I’ve got to say, political rhetoric, too, from both sides, often gets out of hand and it incites people to do things like this,” Kelly argued on CNN Wednesday.

The senator urged Americans to “think about … our words and the consequences of them, you know, from both sides of the political spectrum.”

A Toledo Fire Department battalion chief described the shooting as “totally preventable and avoidable if not for the policies and beliefs of people like” Kirk and “his uneducated hateful ilk.”

“Wish the guy was a better shot,” the unhinged fireman continued. “Charlie Kirk offers nothing but hate and division to society.” 

“No one would miss him and discourse would be better without him.” 

The department is reportedly investigating the chief’s disturbing social media post.

Several public school teachers could also end up on the receiving end of red marks for despicable comments related to Kirk’s assassination.  

AnneMarie Donahue, a teacher at Wachusett Regional High School in Massachusetts, was placed on leave after Libs of TikTok uncovered an Instagram post where she boasted: “We’re NOT offering sympathy.” 

Donahue’s post was made just moments after Kirk was struck in the neck by a sniper’s bullet.

In Florida, Lee County School District Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas vowed to investigate “every educator who engages in this vile, sanctionable behavior.”

The commissioner’s statement followed a report from local outlet FOX 4 on a district employee’s social media post, which read: “What’s that about the cost of the second amendment being ‘some gun deaths every year,’ Bye Charlie.” 

The teacher’s post included waving and fire emojis.

The NFL’s Carolina Panthers axed the team’s communications coordinator for insensitive social media posts, including one alluding to Kirk’s manner of death, the Charlotte Observer reported.  

The former employee, Charlie Rock, shared rap group Wu-Tu Clan’s song “Protect Ya Neck” along with a video of Kirk captioned: “Why are yall sad? Your mad said it was worth it …”
