'DISGUSTING': AOC Blasted For Smearing Charlie Kirk After Voting No on Resolution to Honor His Life [WATCH]

This is who Democrats are now…

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday voted against a House resolution honoring slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, arguing the measure would bring “great pain” to millions of Americans.

Speaking after the vote, Ocasio-Cortez condemned political violence in all forms but criticized Republicans for advancing what she called a partisan resolution.

“The resolution only underscores the majority’s recklessness by choosing to author this condemnation and honoring on a purely partisan basis, instead of uniting Congress in this tragedy with one of the many bipartisan options to condemn political violence and Kirk’s murder, as we did with the late Melissa Hortman,” she said. “Instead, the majority proceeded with a resolution that brings great pain to the millions of Americans who endured segregation, Jim Crow, and the legacy of bigotry today.”

The resolution praised Kirk, stating his “commitment to civil discussion and debate stood as a model for young Americans across the political spectrum, and he worked tirelessly to promote unity without compromising on conviction.” It passed 310–58, with Ocasio-Cortez and dozens of Democrats voting no or “present.”

“We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was — a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake; who, after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, claimed that ‘some amazing patriot’ should bail out his brutal assailant; and accused Jews of controlling ‘not just the colleges. It’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it,’” Ocasio-Cortez said. She added that Kirk’s “rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans — far from ‘working tirelessly to promote unity’ as asserted by the majority in this resolution.”

Earlier this year, the House unanimously passed a resolution condemning the politically motivated killing of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband and the attempted killing of Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.

Democrats introduced their own resolution after Kirk’s assassination, condemning “all forms of political violence, including assassination and attempted assassination of public officials, candidates, and public figures, regardless of political party or ideology.” They said it provided an alternative to denounce Kirk’s murder without endorsing his politics.

Kirk was shot and killed last week at Utah Valley University.

“We continue to pray for Mr. Kirk’s family and loved ones in the wake of this terrible act,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I’m thinking especially of his children and his wife, whose grief cannot be measured.”
