4 House Republicans vote with Dems to block resolution censuring Ilhan Omar for Charlie Kirk comments
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines on Wednesday to table a resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over comments about Charlie Kirk.
Four House Republicans voted with Democrats to table the legislation, effectively blocking it from receiving its own House-wide vote. A vote to table is a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself.
The measure was blocked in a narrow 214 to 213 vote. The four Republicans who voted to table the measure are Reps. Mike Flood, R-Neb., Tom McClintock, R-Calif., Jeff Hurd, R-Colo., and Cory Mills, R-Fla.

Mills had been facing his own retaliatory censure led by House progressives, but that effort was dropped when Omar’s censure failed.
McClintock told Fox News Digital that while he condemned Omar’s response to Kirk’s death, he voted against moving forward with the censure based on First Amendment grounds.
«Ilhan Omar’s comments regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk are vile and contemptible. They deserve the harshest criticism of every man and woman of good will. But this disgusting and hateful speech is still speech and is protected by our First Amendment,» he said.
«Censure is formal punishment by the House and we have already gone too far down this road. Omar’s comments were not made in the House and even if they were, they broke no House rules. A free society depends on tolerating ALL speech — even hateful speech — confident that the best way to sort good from evil is to put the two side by side and trust the people to know the difference.»
Hurd responded similarly, «Ilhan Omar’s comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, as well as her comments about those who supported Charlie, are ghoulish and evil. I condemn them completely.»
«But I voted against today’s censure because it tried to strip another Member of Congress from committees and to silence her for exercising the First Amendment right to free speech. The right response to reprehensible speech like this isn’t silencing: it’s more speech. That’s what Charlie Kirk believed and practiced, and I agree,» he told Fox News Digital.
Flood told Fox News Digital, «Ilhan Omar’s statements and social media posts are reprehensible and should be referred to the Ethics Committee. The appropriate time to consider a censure motion would be after ethics reviews her conduct.»
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., moved to force a vote on the resolution Tuesday by introducing it as «privileged,» a mechanism that requires House leaders to deal with a measure within two legislative days.
It’s part of the continued fallout from Omar’s remarks made days after Kirk’s assassination, which conservatives have accused of disparaging the conservative activist’s legacy.

She specifically faced backlash over an interview with progressive news outlet Zeteo, where she criticized Kirk’s past commentary and Republicans’ reaction to the shooting. She later accused Republicans of taking her words out of context, and she called Kirk’s death «mortifying.»
She previously told Zeteo days after Kirk’s assassination that he had «downplayed slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth shouldn’t exist.»
«There are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate,» the «Squad» member said. «There is nothing more effed up, you know, like, than to completely pretend that, you know, his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.»
She later posted on X amid the backlash, «While I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I don’t wish violence on anyone. My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion. Right-wing accounts trying to spin a false story when I condemned his murder multiple times is fitting for their agenda to villainize the left to hide from the fact that Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis.»
Kirk was shot and killed during a college campus speaking event in Utah.
Mace introduced her resolution on the House floor Tuesday by reading it on the House floor.
«Charlie Kirk was a lifelong advocate for freedom of speech, civil political discourse and the political engagement of youth,» Mace read aloud. «One day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Representative Ilhan Omar gave an interview on Zeteo’s town hall with Mehdi Hassan, in which she smeared Charlie Kirk and implied he was to blame for his own murder.»

Mace also accused Omar of reposting a video that said, «Don’t be fooled, these people don’t give a single s— about Charlie Kirk. They’re just using his death to further their Christo-fascist agenda.»
Other progressives leaped to Omar’s defense, including Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., who posted on X, «Babe, those are not direct quotes from Ilhan Omar. According to the APA, if you use a direct quotation, it must sustain your claim. The quotes you used are not Ilhan’s words, they are not in context and do not prove your point. Read before you tweet.»
It’s one of several measures targeting Omar over her comments.
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., who is running for Senate, introduced his own measure to strip Omar of her committee assignments on Monday.

Violencia en el fútbol de Maldonado: un jugador fue imputado tras darle cabezazo a juez que le voló los dientes
El fútbol en el departamento de Maldonado volvió a ser noticia en Uruguay por terminar con incidentes.
Hace unos 20 días, un partido de la tercera división de Maldonado terminó con graves incidentes tras el golpe de cabeza de uno de los futbolistas de San Lorenzo contra el árbitro del partido Alexis Ferreira. El juez terminó con heridas en su boca y hasta perdió piezas dentales, al tiempo que el agresor debió ir a declarar este lunes a la Fiscalía y probablemente termine imputado por la agresión.
Ferreira, el árbitro del encuentro, contó entonces a la radio local Cadena del Mar que la agresión se dio al final del partido, después de que decidiera expulsar a dos jugadores que se acercaron a insultarlo. Durante el partido el ambiente ya había estado espeso: uno de los jugadores se había ido encima de él luego de una tarjeta amarilla. “Perdí piezas dentales, tuve mucha sangre y me sentí mareado. Fue muy fuerte”, señaló.
El agresor fue imputado este lunes por el delito de lesiones personales. Como medidas cautelares, se le impuso la prohibición de salir del país, de participar en actividades deportivas y de acercarse a menos de 500 metros de la víctima durante 120 días.
La abogada del futbolista, Karen Pintos, expresó tras la audiencia que su defendido “está dispuesto a colaborar” con los gastos del tratamiento al que debió someterse el árbitro, que sufrió una fractura nasal y perdió dos piezas dentales. Según consignó FM Gente, Pintos señaló que su cliente le pidió disculpas al agredido, algo que fue “bien recibido”.
Tras el fallo judicial, la Asociación de Árbitros de Maldonado Capital emitió un comunicado en el que expresa su conformidad con el fallo. “Consideramos que esta resolución marca un antes y un después para todo lo que concierne al deporte”, dice el texto.
Este fin de semana, en tanto, otra vez se viralizaron imágenes violentas: los jugadores terminaron arriba del techo de los vestuarios, tirándose palas y otros objetos.
El video fue difundido por el medio local FM Gente, que informó que los incidentes se dieron cuando terminó el encuentro entre Atlético Fernandino y San Carlos, que finalizó 2-2. Al momento en que los policías llegaron hasta el lugar, ya no quedaba nadie y tampoco se presentó ninguna denuncia.
En las imágenes se aprecia cómo los futbolistas treparon hasta el techo de los vestuarios, mientras desde abajo voló un balde, que no llegó a impactar en ninguno de los presentes. Otro de los jugadores arrojó un objeto que no se logra identificar en el video, mientras que uno de ellos tiró una pala de construcción, que tampoco llegó a agredir a ninguno de los presentes.
Otros de los asistentes observaban los disturbios detrás de un muro.
Este partido era por la Liga Mayor de Maldonado. Lo que generó los incidentes fue que algunos futbolistas que estaban en la cancha arremetieron contra los suplentes, que gritaban contra este equipo, informó el noticiero Telemundo de Canal 12. Las palas que se ven en el video estaban en el lugar porque hay obras de remodelación en la cancha.
Los vecinos y quienes estaban en la cancha fueron los que llamaron a la Policía, ante el temor que tenían de que la pelea terminara en una batalla campal. Sin embargo, los efectivos no arrestaron a nadie porque cuando llegaron hasta allí ya se habían ido todos.
Como no hubo denuncia policial, no se inició una investigación penal por estos incidentes. La Fiscalía uruguaya tiene la potestad de actuar de oficio ante situaciones de este tipo, pero hasta ahora no ha informado si lo hará.
En el fútbol de Maldonado piden una mayor presencia policial ante los incidentes que se han reiterado en las últimas jornadas. Incluso pretenden que esa presencia se concrete dentro de las canchas.

Kamala Harris-endorsed candidate in hot seat for million-dollar DC home hundreds of miles outside district
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ pick for Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District, Dan Koh, is facing scrutiny for owning a million-dollar home hundreds of miles from the district in Washington, D.C.
Koh, who held several senior roles in former President Joe Biden’s White House, is running in a crowded race to replace Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, who is running for the Senate. He has received the endorsement of Harris, who called him a «fighter» who «knows how to get things done.»
Though running in a suburban Massachusetts district, Koh and his wife own a $1.3 million home in a swanky neighborhood by Capitol Hill, which they purchased in 2022, according to the website for the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue.
The two also own a home in Andover, Massachusetts, which sits within the 6th Congressional District, according to the North Essex Registry of Deeds. The Massachusetts home was purchased in 2019 for $810,000.

Amy Carnevale, chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party, knocked Koh over the home, telling Fox News Digital that «living full-time in D.C. with a no-show house in Massachusetts seems to be a family tradition amongst MassDems.»
She also criticized another Massachusetts Democrat, Sen. Ed Markey, who she said is «known in the Bay State as the ‘Senator from Chevy Chase,’» because he «is rarely seen in his alleged hometown in Massachusetts.»
«Dan Koh is now looking to follow in that tradition. What a shame for actual residents of Massachusetts who deserve better,» added Carnevale.
In response, a spokesperson for Koh’s campaign told Fox News Digital that «Dan lives full-time at his home in Andover, which he and his wife have owned for over 6 years.»

The spokesperson said that Koh «lived in D.C. during his time as a senior official in the White House during the Biden-Harris administration with his family.»
Tax documents available on the district’s Office of Tax and Revenue’s website show that Koh and his wife still own the D.C. home as of August.
Harris endorsed Koh on Oct. 28, saying: «During our time in the White House, I saw Dan’s steadfast drive to make life better — and more affordable — for working people.»
«He knows how to get things done, will be the fighter you deserve, and is ready on day one,» said Harris, adding, «I’m proud to endorse him and encourage everyone in Massachusetts’ 6th District to support his campaign.»

A statement by Koh’s campaign said that he is among the first candidates Harris has endorsed in the 2025-26 campaign cycle, which the campaign said demonstrates «the critical importance of electing a strong, effective Democratic leader to represent the 6th District.»
Koh said he is «honored that Vice President Harris has endorsed our campaign for Massachusetts’ 6th District,» adding, «I personally witnessed the Vice President’s tireless dedication to the American people every day in the administration.»

He added, «I’ll be ready on day one to bring the same brand of leadership to Capitol Hill, getting to work to deliver results for families of our commonwealth and our country.»
