Golf legend Phil Mickelson ignited a firestorm by demanding Rep. Ilhan Omar be “sent back to Somalia” after the progressive congresswoman attacked conservative martyr Charlie Kirk’s legacy following his assassination.
Mickelson Defends Conservative Values Against Progressive Attack
Phil Mickelson unleashed a scathing rebuke of Rep. Ilhan Omar after she disgracefully suggested Charlie Kirk’s conservative legacy belonged in the “dustbin of history.” The six-time major champion took to X, declaring Omar “came here fraudulently and will hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon.” Mickelson’s bold stance represents what millions of Americans feel watching progressive politicians attack patriotic leaders who dedicated their lives to defending constitutional principles and American values.
Omar’s Shameful Response to Conservative Martyr’s Death
Following Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination at Utah Valley University in September 2025, Omar immediately launched into partisan attacks rather than showing basic human decency. The Squad member’s comments on CNN and social media demonstrated the radical left’s inability to separate politics from tragedy. While Kirk’s widow Erika displayed remarkable Christian grace by publicly forgiving her husband’s killer, Omar chose division and hatred. This stark contrast exposes the moral bankruptcy of progressive ideology versus traditional American values rooted in faith and forgiveness.
House Republicans Move to Hold Omar Accountable
Congressional Republicans are pursuing ethics investigations into Omar’s conduct, recognizing that her inflammatory rhetoric crossed fundamental lines of decency. The assassination of a prominent conservative activist should have prompted national unity and condemnation of political violence. Instead, Omar weaponized the tragedy to advance her radical agenda. House leadership understands that allowing such behavior to go unchecked undermines democratic norms and encourages further extremism from the progressive wing.
Celebrity Voices Join Fight Against Progressive Extremism
Mickelson’s intervention highlights how mainstream Americans are rejecting the Squad’s toxic influence on national discourse. The golfer specifically condemned Rep. Jasmine Crockett for similar hateful rhetoric, demonstrating these weren’t isolated comments but coordinated progressive attacks. When high-profile figures like Mickelson speak out, they amplify the voices of countless patriots who refuse to let radical progressives define American values. This represents a critical moment where celebrity influence serves conservative principles rather than leftist propaganda.

The controversy reveals deeper tensions about immigration, citizenship, and loyalty that resonate with Trump supporters nationwide. Mickelson’s demand for accountability reflects legitimate concerns about politicians who seem more committed to progressive ideology than American interests. While Omar claims her faith teaches peace and compassion, her actions consistently demonstrate hostility toward conservative Americans and traditional values that built this nation.
