"There are a lot of people out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate," the "Squad" member said. "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."
Mace responded to the comments in a post on X, writing, "If you celebrate murder, maybe Somalia can take you back."
Omar, who came to the United States as a child from Somalia, then responded, "I know you aren't well or smart, but I hope someone can explain to you that there isn’t a correlation between my committee assignments and deportation.
"Would love to see you get the help you need next. You belong in rehab, not Congress," Omar continued on X.

"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," she wrote. "My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy and compassion.
