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.
“I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind, that should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.”
Mickelson responded to Omar’s comments in a post on X, saying he hopes she’s “sent back to Somalia soon.”
“Ilhan spews hate every time she opens her mouth, she came here fraudulently and will hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon,” Mickelson wrote.
Mickelson was mostly praised for his rebuke to Omar in his X responses.
Mickelson has been outwardly supporting of Kirk in the days following his assassination in Utah, making frequent X posts commemorating the conservative influencer and celebrating his life and legacy.
Mickelson previously said he believed the assassination was bringing out “some of the best in humanity and it’s also exposing some of the worst.”

“The number of people supporting Tyler Robinson’s 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.”
