Mickelson was among them.
“An incredible force and an incredible grace,” wrote Mickelson on X.
While Kirk gave him forgiveness to the alleged assassin accused of having murdered the 31 -year -old conservative influence, Mickelson reprimanded Omar and Crockett.
“While (Ilhan) and Jasmine talk about hateful rhetoric, Erika Kirk says that. I have no words. Incredible,” he added.
Omar received a backlash after insulting Charlie Kirk’s inheritance as a result of his murder.
She addressed her recent publications on social networks in which she called Kirk “Dr Frankenstein”, doubling these comments and saying that her heritage should be left in the “bin of history”.
“What I find shocking is that there are so many people ready to excuse the most reprehensible things he said, that they agree with this, that they are ready to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him and that they want to produce resolutions in the Congress Chamber Honoring his life and his inheritance,” said Omar on CNN.

“I’m not going to sit here and be judged to not want to honor a heritage that this man has left, it should be in the trash in history, and we should, hope, move on and forget the hatred he spit every day.”
Crockett challenged on Sunday with only two legislators of white democrats who voted against a resolution to honor Charlie Kirk.
“One of the things I want to emphasize that was not presented that hurt me honestly, it was when I saw the votes no – there were only two Caucasians,” said Crockett on CNN. “For the most part, the only people who voted no were people of color.
“The rhetoric that Charlie Kirk has continuously extinguished was rhetoric which specifically targeted people of color. It is regrettable that even our colleagues cannot see how harlius was harrened – especially for us.”
Meanwhile, Erika Kirk offered grace and bravery while she spoke in front of more than 70,000 people in mourning to her husband’s memorial.
“Charlie passionately wanted to reach and save the lost boys of the West. The young men who have the impression of having no direction, no goal, no faith and no reason to live. Men wasting their lives on distractions and men consume with resentment, anger and hatred,” she said. “Charlie wanted to help them. He wanted them to have a house with Turning Point USA. And when he went to the campus, he sought to show them a better path and a better life. It was right there for the catch. He wanted to show them this.
“My husband, Charlie. He wanted to save. Young men, just like the one who took his life. This young man. This young man on the cross. Our Savior said it. Father. Forgive them, because they don’t know what they are doing,” she continued. “You, this man. This young man. I forgive him. I forgive him because that was what Christ did. And that is what Charlie would do. The answer to hatred is not hatred. The answer that we know of the Gospel is love and love always. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us.”
