Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has said ‘There is no legacy to honor, following the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

Speaking to former CNN broadcaster Don Lemon, who asked Omar if she felt she needed to apologize for her previous comments on Kirk’s political views, which have led to fierce criticism by her Republican opponents, Omar responded: “I have nothing to apologize for.”

"You know, it is a tragedy that Charlie Kirk was killed in that way. I feel for his widow and his children. They will have to live with that for the rest of their lives."

She added, “But there is no legacy to honor. It was a legacy filled with bigotry, hatred, and White supremacy. And as a Black woman and as a Muslim in this country, I refuse to join the chorus that changes the history of what is on the record from this man."
