Riley Gaines lashes out at Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar for her comments on Charlie Kirk & voting against creating a resolution

Riley Gaines slammed the Democratic U.S. Representative of Minnesota Ilhan Omar for her comments over a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk. The Congressional Black Caucus objected to the resolution which was passed by both Republicans and Democrats to honor Kirk, stating it gives credibility to his ideas, which they described as racist and harmful.

In an interview on CNN, she made her stance clear by disagreeing with the resolution while refusing Kirk's legacy. The resolution was passed nine days after Kirk was fatally shot during an event in Utah. Stating her views, Omar said:

"It's one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day."

However, her comments did not sit well with Gaines, who took a swipe at the Democratic representative, writing:

"You're wrong. You WILL be judged, @IlhanMN. I pray for your salvation."

Kirk was the founder of Turning Point USA, which was established in 2012.

Riley Gaines praised the Governor of Utah Spencer Cox, for his strong message after Charlie Kirk's assassination. He referred to the shocking incident as a political assassination. He highlighted Kirk's legacy and his impact on university campuses.

"This is a dark day for our state. It’s a tragic day for our nation. I want to be clear that this is a political assassination," he said. "Charlie believed in the power of free speech and debate to shape ideas and to persuade people. Historically, our university campuses in this nation and here in the state of Utah have been a place where truth and ideas are formulated and debated, and that's what he does." "I just want to remind people that we still have the death penalty here in the state of Utah," he added.

Riley Gaines praised the governor and wrote:

"Fantastic words from @GovCox at this press conference."
