On September 17, 2025, Mace introduced a House censure resolution against Rep. Ilhan Omar, asserting:
"Ilhan Omar smeared Charlie Kirk and implied he was to blame for his own murder."
Journalist Mehdi Hasan, who had interviewed Omar, stated publicly: "No one said he deserved to die. Ilhan Omar said the exact opposite to me. She condemned his killing." Omar said: "Her resolution does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn't find any." The resolution failed 214-213, with four Republicans joining Democrats to table it.
