Conservatives on social media are railing against Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over a substack appearance where she criticized conservative commentator Charlie Kirk following his assassination, with some calling for her to be removed from Congress.

«Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) is now ATTACKING and SMEARING Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated,» conservative influencer account LibsofTikTok posted on X Thursday. «This is an elected representative. She needs to RESIGN. EVIL.»

Red State writer Bonchie wrote on X, «Ilhan Omar going on with Mehdi Hasan so they can both mock Charlie Kirk and lie about his ‘actions’ to justify his assassination is exactly what you’d expect.»

«Look at their grins,» conservative influencer account End Wokeness posted on X.

«Yeah I’ve had it with tolerance for evil,» conservative influencer Robby Starbuck posted on X. «Expel Ilhan Omar from Congress and deport her to Somalia. She reportedly committed immigration fraud with her sham marriage to her brother so this shouldn’t be hard to do. I have no tolerance left for this evil.»

The clip drew the attention of Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who wrote on X, «@IlhanMN, in the United States of America we have freedom of speech.»

Boebert added, «I understand that in Somalia, where you come from and would do well to go back to, this isn’t a thing. In our county, having political disagreements with someone isn’t a reason to justify their execution.»

SECRET SERVICE UNDER PRESSURE: WHAT KIRK’S ASSASSINATION MEANS FOR TRUMP’S SECURITY

Fox News Digital reached out to Omar’s office for comment and was directed to a social media post from Omar saying she «disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric» but does not «wish violence on anyone.»

«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.»

The interview in question, a Zeteo Town Hall with Mehdi Hasan, began with Omar expressing condolences to Kirk’s family.

«It was really mortifying to hear the news,» Omar said when asked about her reaction to the killing. «All I could think about was his wife, his children, that image is going to live forever.»

Omar added that her heart «breaks» for those babies before getting into a conversation about Republicans criticizing violence from the left, calling it «disgusting», and then criticizing Kirk and making the comments that infuriated conservatives online.

«But what I do know for sure is that Charlie Kirk was someone who once said, guns save lives after a school shooting,» Omar said. «Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police…downplay slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist.»

Omar went on to lament that there are a «lot of people who are out there talking» about Kirk «just wanting to have a civil debate» prompting Hasan to interject and call it a «complete rewriting of history.»

«Yeah,» Omar responded. «There is nothing more effed up than to completely pretend that his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.»

Omar then criticized GOP Rep. Nancy Mace and President Trump saying the president has «incited violence against people like me.»

«And so, you know, these people are full of sh–, and it’s important for us to call them out, while we feel anger and sadness and have, you know, empathy, which Charlie said it shouldn’t exist because that’s a newly created word or something,» Omar said. «Like I have empathy for his kids and his wife and what they’re going through because I do not want that. No one should go through that and we should hold ourselves, I hope, to a higher standard.»

Hasan then claimed that the «politicizing is being done by the right» and referred to it as a «problem» that you can’t say «anything negative» about someone when they die.»

«I’m happy to not say anything negative and let the family mourn but it’s when everyone else tries to kind of  do a whitewashing of who that person was,» Hasan continued as Omar nodded along.

The X account for Zeteo News, founded by Hasan, wrote «this is a lie» in response to criticism over Omar’s comments, noting that Omar reacted with «sadness» for Kirk’s family. 

On Friday, authorities announced that they had arrested a suspect, 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson.

Acuerdo Israel-Hamas: las familias de los rehenes celebran su inminente liberación en el centro de Tel Aviv y convocan a Donald Trump

Published

on


A primera hora de este jueves, la Plaza de los Rehenes, en el centro de Tel Aviv, se convirtió en un estallido de emociones desbordadas. Las familias de los rehenes israelíes celebran con júbilo su próxima liberación.

«¡Matan vuelve a casa!», gritó Einav Zangauker, uno de los rostros más conocidos de la campaña de dos años por liberar a los cautivos, refiriéndose a su hijo. Con los brazos alzados al cielo, exclamó «¡Gracias!», mientras simpatizantes, familiares y rehenes liberados llenaban la plaza.

«Quiero olerlo. Si tengo un sueño, es ver a Matan dormir en su cama«, agregó en diálogo con la prensa.

Tras el secuestro de sus seres queridos durante el ataque de Hamas sobre el sur de Israel el 7 de octubre de 2023, que desató la guerra en Gaza, las familias se embarcaron en una lucha ardua por recuperar la libertad de sus allegados. Viajaron por todo el mundo para reunirse con líderes internacionales, enfrentaron la incredulidad de políticos israelíes y suplicaron incansablemente por un final a la pesadilla que parecía interminable. Hasta hoy.

Después de que Donald Trump anunciara el acuerdo entre Israel y Hamas para liberar a los cautivos restantes, la tensión en la plaza comenzó a disiparse. De los 250 capturados inicialmente, Israel asegura que alrededor de 20 de los 48 que permanecen en Gaza siguen con vida.

El contador que marcaba los días, minutos y segundos desde aquella angustiante mañana de octubre seguía iluminando a los presentes, pero ahora cada segundo los acercaba más a la liberación.

«Durante dos años he luchado por la vida de mi esposo», escribió Rebecca Bohbot en Instagram sobre su marido, Elkana. «Este es el momento en que un niño pequeño volverá a abrazar a su padre, un instante en que mi familia recobra la vida», agregó.

«Siento escalofríos de pies a cabeza», contó Omer Wenkert, rehén liberado anteriormente, sobre la noticia del acuerdo. «No puedo ni imaginar la alegría que sentiremos, como nación, por fin», sumó.

En el corazón de las celebraciones estuvo la figura de Trump, a quien muchos familiares e israelíes atribuyen el mérito de haber presionado al primer ministro Benjamín Netanyahu para aceptar el acuerdo. Una persona se disfrazó del presidente republicano y ondeó banderas estadounidenses; las familias expresaron su agradecimiento y algunos corearon que merecía el Premio Nobel de la Paz, como mencionó Javier Milei en X.

Invitación de los familiares a Donald Trump

El Foro de Familias de Rehenes y Desaparecidos, que representa a los allegados de la mayoría de los secuestrados en Gaza, invitó a Trump a reunirse con ellas en Israel tras impulsar el acuerdo de alto el fuego.

«Ya sea un discurso en la plaza, un lugar que se ha convertido en símbolo de esperanza y resiliencia, una visita privada a las familias o cualquier reunión que se ajuste a su agenda, haremos lo posible para que suceda«, indicó el Foro en un comunicado.

«Solo necesitamos mirarle a los ojos y expresar lo que las palabras no pueden transmitir: que nos devolvió a nuestras familias y con ellas, nuestra esperanza«, añadieron.

El líder de la Casa Blanca llegará a Israel el domingo, según informó el diario Yedioth Ahronot, tras la firma del alto el fuego. La liberación de los 48 cautivos se producirá el lunes, según Washington. Israel y Hamas aún deben acordar quiénes conformarán los 1.950 prisioneros palestinos que serán liberados a cambio de los rehenes: 250 condenados a cadena perpetua y 1.700 detenidos en la Franja de Gaza, según un miembro del buró político de Hamas.

Israel inicia los preparativos de su retirada

Antes de la liberación, el Ejército israelí deberá retirarse hasta la «línea amarilla» estipulada por EE. UU., marcando la primera fase de su retirada del enclave. Esto permitirá que las tropas permanezcan en un perímetro de 1,5 kilómetros en su zona más estrecha y 6,5 en la más amplia, garantizando presencia militar en cerca de la mitad del territorio.

Según Haaretz, esta retirada facilitará que las milicias gazatíes, encabezadas por Hamas, localicen a todos los cautivos. El Ejército ya inició los preparativos y estableció un protocolo de combate para avanzar «pronto» hacia la línea establecida, mientras mantiene la capacidad de responder a cualquier desarrollo operativo.

«Las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel han comenzado los preparativos operativos previos a la aplicación del acuerdo. Como parte de este proceso, se están llevando a cabo las tareas previas y un protocolo de combate para pasar pronto a unas líneas de despliegue modificadas», afirmó el ejército en un comunicado.

El acuerdo contempla que la primera fase de retirada se complete antes del lunes, cuando Hamas liberará a los 48 rehenes aún cautivos. La medida garantiza que los secuestrados sean localizados tanto por las Brigadas Al Qasam como por otros grupos, como la Yihad Islámica Palestina.

Aún no se han detallado las fases posteriores, pero tras llegar a la «línea amarilla», las tropas israelíes seguirán presentes en alrededor de la mitad del enclave, tras haber dominado hasta ahora más del 80%.

Liberal media darling in the hot seat after explosive interview goes viral

Conservatives on social media blasted California Democrat Katie Porter, widely seen by Democrats as a frontrunner in the state’s gubernatorial race, after she cut short a contentious interview over follow-up questions from a reporter.

The viral moment happened in a clip posted Tuesday night where Porter took issue with the line of questioning from CBS investigative journalist Julie Watts, who was pushing Porter on whether she can and needs to appeal to the millions of Trump voters in the state to become the next governor.

«I feel like this is unnecessarily argumentative,» Porter said, adding, «I don’t want to keep doing this, I’m going to call it.»…READ MORE.
