Golf legend Phil Mickelson took aim at Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Saturday after the controversial congresswoman insulted Charlie Kirk and his legacy.During an interview on CNN, Omar addressed her recent social media posts in which she called Kirk "Dr. Frankenstein," doubling down on those comments and saying his legacy should be left in the "dustbin of history.""What I find jarring is that there's so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they're willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the house of Congress honoring his life and legacy," Omar said.

"The unification, love, support, and outcry on his behalf throughout the world is heartwarming."The number of people supporting Tyler Robinsons appalling behavior has opened my eyes to a side of extremism with a moral superiority complex that has also shaken my belief in people in general. I hope they are held accountable for their disgusting rhetoric."Meanwhile, Omar has been a target of GOP colleagues since making her initial comments condemning Kirk.Omar specifically faced backlash over an interview with progressive news outlet Zeteo, in which 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."SCRUTINY INTENSIFIES OVER SECURITY LAPSES SURROUNDING THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTINGShe 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 dont 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."Omar also reposted a video on X, where others not associated with the congresswoman 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."The Minnesota Democrat's colleagues have vehemently defended her against censure and Republican criticism.Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., moved to force a vote on censuring Omar over her reaction to Kirk's killing, but the move was quashed when four Republicans and all Democrats voted to table the measure.House Main Street Caucus Chairman Mike Flood, R-Neb., will refer Omar for a House Ethics Committee investigation, Fox News Digital reported Thursday.The top of the list of complaints will include the progressive Democrat's "obnoxious, insulting and dismissive comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk," he said."Second, harboring illegal immigrants. I believe in February of this year that Omar hosted a workshop advising Somalians on how to avoid being deported after protecting the laws of the United States," Flood continued of his points. "No. 3, she's used TikTok for mixed official and campaign content, which specifically violates other House rules."Fox News Digital's Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Charlie Kirk friend and Turning Point USA (TPUSA) spokesman Andrew Kolvet vehemently defended Jimmy Kimmels suspension this week as critics raged over First Amendment concerns."Something important thats being missed with the Jimmy Kimmel saga By spreading the vile lie that Charlie was assassinated by MAGA, the implicit message from Kimmel was clear: If you kill a conservative, we will cover for you," Kolvet, who's also the executive producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show," wrote in a lengthy X post Saturday. "We will whitewash the murder because we dont think conservatives deserve to live. Kill more. Assassinate more. We have your back."He continued, "This is evil. Executives at ABC rightly received a deluge of complaints from affiliates. They asked Kimmel to apologize for lying and he refused, instead vowing to double down. Only then did he get canned."He noted that the major networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS "enjoy massive taxpayer supported privileges and advantages," adding that they are supposed to contribute to the "public good."LATE-NIGHT HOSTS RALLY AROUND KIMMEL FOLLOWING SUSPENSION, ACCUSE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OF CENSORING HOSTKolvet continued, "Those privileges come with a responsibility to not knowingly spread harmful lies like the one Kimmel was spreading. Jimmy Kimmel is not a victim. Hes a liar. Jimmy Kimmel is not a martyr. Charlie is. Lets keep that straight."On Monday, during his monologue, Kimmel discussed the alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing Kirk while he was speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem on Sept. 10."We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.The comedian didnt specifically say that he thought the shooter was a conservative, but many have interpreted his words that way.Fox News Digital has reached out to Kimmel for comment.DISNEYS JIMMY KIMMEL BENCHING PROMPTS CELEBRATION, BUT ALSO CAUTION, FROM CONSERVATIVESRobinsons mother told investigators after they turned him in that he had recently begun to lean more to the left, and that he told his parents after the murder that Kirk was spreading "too much hate."On Wednesday, ABC announced that "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was indefinitely suspended following pressure from Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, who threatened ABC with regulatory consequences over Kimmels monologue, saying "We can do this the easy way or the hard way" on a podcast.CRUZ WARNS CONSERVATIVES WILL REGRET FCC CENSORSHIP PUSH AGAINST ABC, OTHER MEDIA OUTLETSWhile some on the right have cheered the vocal Trump critic being pulled from the airwaves, the suspension has sparked a firestorm of criticism over the First Amendment and not just on the left.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPEven some conservatives, like Republican Texas Sen.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson gave a fiery news conference where he condemned President Donald Trumps crackdown on crime. At one point, he said, "Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities."During the news conference Tuesday, Johnson was asked about Trumps suggestion he might send the National Guard to Chicago. Trumps model of using anti-crime crackdowns was touted as a success by Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, who had initially expressed concern."Is there any reason for the president to deploy National Guard troops or other armed military personnel to Chicago to focus on crime or violence?" the reporter asked.Johnson responded by paraphrasing a quotation from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., saying, "You know, Dr. King referred to militarism as a sickness. Unfortunately, this president is full of that sickness. There are no circumstances under which the deployment of American soldiers should be sent in cities across America."CHICAGO DEMOCRAT WARNS 'HISTORY WILL PROVE' PARTY WRONG ON CRIME AS OFFICIALS REJECT TRUMP'S HELPLater in the same news conference, Johnson cited that there were 970 murders in Chicago in 1974, 828 murders there in 1995, 778 murders in 2016 and more recently 805 murders there in 2021. He said that while even one murder is too many, he is upset by the idea that more law enforcement is the answer that people propose."I get so sick and tired of people in this country and in this city that believe that the only thing that you can offer Black people and poor people is jails, incarceration and police officers," he said. "Dr. King said this right here in Chicago, the National Conference on New Politics. What did he say? He said, Militarism is a sickness. I am trying to eradicate the sickness from this city and from this country!"He went on to argue that nobody in Chicago has asked him to use troops to bring down crime, arguing that he is using other methods to do so, and that law enforcement itself is actually harmful to the community.CHICAGO MAYOR CALLS TRUMP'S FEDERALIZATION THREATS 'BENEATH THE HONOR OF OUR NATION,' PROTESTS PLANNED"The fact of the matter is we are driving violence down in this city, and we're using every single resource that's available to us. Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities!" he argued. "I'm going to work hard every single day to protect the people who are caught up in the violence in this city. Guess why? You want to know why? Because the vast majority of them look like me!"He then asserted that his methods he is employing are working, and he refuses to let Trumps administration take credit for it if they get involved.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREFox News Digital reached out to a White House spokesperson, who replied, "If these Democrats focused on fixing crime in their own cities instead of doing publicity stunts to criticize the President, their communities would be much safer. Cracking down on crime should not be a partisan issue, but Democrats suffering from TDS are trying to make it one. They should listen to fellow Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser who recently celebrated the Trump Administrations success in driving down violent crime in Washington DC."Fox News Digital reached out to Johnson's office for additional comment.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday signed a bill banning law enforcement from wearing face coverings while conducting official business in California.The bill, which was presented to Newsom on Wednesday, makes it a misdemeanor crime for local, state, or federal law enforcement to wear masks or personal disguises during their duties, unless an officer is undercover or performing a tactical operation that requires protective gear.The bill would also impose a civil penalty against officers for "tortious conduct," including false imprisonment or false arrest of an individual while wearing a facial covering.CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE PASSES BILL PROHIBITING LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM WEARING FACE MASKS TO SHIELD IDENTITIESAnnouncing the bill signing on Saturday, Newsom taunted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, repetitively asking "what are you afraid of?""Unmarked cars, people in masks, people quite literally disappearing. No due process, no rightsno rights in a democracy where we have rights, immigrants have rights," Newsom said. "We have the right to stand up and push back, and that's what we're doing here today. This is a disgrace. This is an outrage. What we have allowed to happen in this country. To ICE: unmask. What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?"The ban comes after a series of immigration raids in Los Angeles, where federal agents were spotted wearing masks to protect their identities from being leaked.FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT RISK THEIR LIVES DAILY NOW SOME DEMOCRATS WANT TO MAKE IT WORSEDepartment of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin this week noted federal agents are already required to identify themselves and wear clothing that designates they are with ICE or Homeland Security markers during operations."Another day, another sanctuary politician pulling a stunt in attempt to get their 15 minutes of fame while endangering DHS personnel and detainees," McLaughlin wrote. "The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line every day to arrest violent criminal illegal aliens to protect and defend the lives of American citizens."The agency is experiencing a 1,000% surge in assaults against ICE officers, leading to concerns about their safety and their families' safety, according to McLaughlin.LOS ANGELES COUNTY PUSHES TO PROHIBIT LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM HIDING THEIR IDENTITIES WHILE ON THE JOBSeveral states have introduced similar legislation, including Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, according to a report from the Associated Press.It is unclear how the new California bill will be enforced.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
