Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who is part of the cohort of progressive Democrat lawmakers on Capitol Hill known as "the Squad," denied that Democrat voters were celebrating political violence in the wake of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination.

In video footage obtained by Fox News Digital, Omar was asked about her thoughts on Democratic voters celebrating the death of Kirk and cheering on political violence in the wake of his assassination.

"Are you concerned with the rhetoric coming from the Democratic base regarding the Charlie Kirk assassination?" Omar was asked, to which she did not respond. "Why are Democratic voters celebrating political violence?" Omar was then asked again.

"I don't think anybody is," Omar shot back.

But, evidence appears to show that many folks have been facing repercussions over their decision to mock, or praise, Kirk's death. This includes K-12 education officials, college professors, healthcare professionals, political pundits, writers and a list of other professionals from various sectors and major companies, such as the law firm Perkins Coie, the company behind the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and Office Depot, among others.

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have roundly condemned the trend of political violence following Kirk's assassination. But, despite the condemnation and expressions of sorrow from both sides of the political spectrum, there have still been some contentious moments on the Hill following Kirk's death.

On the day of Kirk's passing, a moment of silence for the slain activist inside the House Chamber devolved into chaos after Republican South Carolina Rep. Lauren Boebert requested a spoken prayer be said in addition to a silent prayer, which was met with protest from Democrats. Some reportedly began shouting about how Republicans had ignored a school shooting that happened the same day as Kirk's, according to media reports. Meanwhile, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., stood up and began shouting back, saying, "You all caused this."

When asked why Democrats refused to say a prayer for Kirk, Omar responded: "We did a moment of silence, nobody prays on the House floor for anybody who has passed away."

Omar, meanwhile, is facing efforts by Republicans to strip her of her committee assignments and seats after she, according to GOP lawmakers, disparaged Kirk's legacy shortly following his assassination. 

The remarks were made during an interview with progressive news outlet Zeteo. Omar told the outlet days after Kirk's assassination that he previously "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," Omar continued. "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."

Omar also criticized GOP figures who have been attacking Democrats for their rhetoric following Kirk's assassination. "These people are full of s---. And it's important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness, and have, you know, empathy, which Charlie said, 'No, it shouldn't exist,' because that's a newly created word or something," Omar said, referring to Kirk's comments about "hate speech."

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said on Tuesday that a person cannot be prosecuted for speech, but he is in favor of other consequences for those who celebrate the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, putting the senator at odds with the Trump administration.

Cruz made the comments at Politico's AI & Tech Summit on Tuesday, when he affirmed that hate speech is protected under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.

"The First Amendment absolutely protects speech," Cruz said.

"It absolutely protects hate speech," he continued. "It protects vile speech. It protects horrible speech. What does that mean? It means you cannot be prosecuted for speech, even if it is evil and bigoted and wrong."

Instead of facing prosecution, Cruz said anyone who has celebrated Kirk’s murder, or suggested that he deserved to die for his political views, should be met with other forms of consequences, such as termination or expulsion. Several people in various jobs across the country have been fired for comments made in response to Kirk's death.

"We have seen, as you noted, across the country, people on the left — not everybody — but far too many people celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder," Cruz said. "We’ve seen teachers in high schools and elementary schools posting online celebrating. We’ve seen university professors posting."

"In my view, they should absolutely face the consequences for celebrating murder," he added.

Cruz's comments come after Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Monday that the Justice Department would target people who engaged in hate speech following Kirk's assassination.

"There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society. We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech," Bondi told podcast host Katie Miller, the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

BONDI 'HATE SPEECH' REMARKS SPARK TORRENT OF CRITICISM FROM CONSERVATIVES

Bondi later attempted to walk back her comments, saying hate speech "that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment."

"It’s a crime," she wrote on X. "For far too long, we’ve watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over."

"Free speech protects ideas, debate, even dissent, but it does NOT and will NEVER protect violence," she added. "It is clear this violent rhetoric is designed to silence others from voicing conservative ideals. We will never be silenced. Not for our families, not for our freedoms, and never for Charlie. His legacy will not be erased by fear or intimidation."

Asked about Bondi's initial comments, President Donald Trump suggested potentially going after journalists who "treat me unfairly."

"It's hate," he told reporters.

Kirk, who was shot and killed during an event on the campus of Utah Valley University last week, was opposed to prosecuting hate speech.

"Hate speech does not exist legally in America," he wrote on X last year. "There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free."

In his remarks on Tuesday, Cruz pushed for more "naming and shaming," citing English philosopher John Stuart Mill, who argued that the best response to speech is more speech.

"And naming and shaming is part of a functioning and vibrant democracy," Cruz said.
