LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON REP. ILHAN OMAR

Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Nancy Mace is a complete and total disgrace. Her racist, unhinged and xenophobic comments about Congresswoman Ilhan Omar are beneath the dignity of the Congress. Is this what civility looks like in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives?

We live in an era of intense political violence as we have seen with the recent assassinations of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Nancy Mace's crazed rhetoric has put a target on the back of Rep. Omar. Mace must cease and desist her inciteful behavior immediately.
