On September 17, 2025, Mace introduced a House censure resolution against Rep. Ilhan Omar alleging she had 'mocked' Charlie Kirk's killing; journalist Mehdi Hasan stated publicly that Omar had condemned the killing, and Omar noted the resolution contained no direct quote from her. The resolution failed 214–213.

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.
