Phil Mickelson takes swipe at Dem reps for 'speaking hateful rhetoric' after Charlie Kirk assassination

Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk honors her husband’s legacy in a heartfelt tribute at his memorial service in Arizona.

LIV Golf star Phil Mickelson took a swipe at Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, and Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, while praising Erika Kirk for her remarks at her husband’s memorial service.

Kirk spoke about Charlie less than two weeks after he was assassinated at a Utah Valley University event. Her bravery and courage during her speech at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, sparked a ton of reaction across social media.

Mickelson was among them.

"Amazing strength, and amazing grace," Mickelson wrote on X.

As Kirk offered her forgiveness to the alleged assassin accused of murdering the 31-year-old conservative influencer, Mickelson chided Omar and Crockett.

"While (Ilhan) and Jasmine are speaking hateful rhetoric, Erika Kirk is saying this. I have no words. Amazing," he added.

Omar received backlash after she insulted Charlie Kirk’s legacy in wake of his killing. 

She 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
