Congress passes resolutions condemning Charlie Kirk's murder, political violence

[Michie]

Members of Congress have voted to condemn the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk and political violence, in general, as mourners prepare for his memorial on Sunday.

Both chambers of Congress on Friday passed resolutions condemning Kirk’s politically motivated assassination last week. Kirk, 31, best known for founding the conservative advocacy organization Turning Point USA and TPUSA Faith, was killed by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson at Utah Valley University last Wednesday as he was headlining an event on campus.

While the resolution in the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate passed unanimously, a significant number of Democrats in the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives opposed the version passed in the lower chamber.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 391 in a unanimous vote. The resolution “condemns the assassination of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms,” offers condolences to Kirk’s wife and children, and “honors Charlie Kirk’s commitment to the constitutional principles of civil discussion and debate between all people of the United States, regardless of political affiliation.”

"Ninety-five House Democrats voted for the resolution, accounting for just under half of the House Democratic Caucus. Meanwhile, 58 Democrats voted against the resolution and 38 voted “present.” The remaining 22 did not vote. "

118 elected representatives can't even agree on condemning Charlie Kirk's murder and political violence!

Seems the inmates are running the asylum.

The Democrats have all condemned Kirk's murder but some didn't want to honor him because of some of his actions.

Your constant denials in every single thread concerning your partisan hero worship and defense of Democrats is getting quite obvious.

I would think that you would that your laughing emoji is against forum rules.

I like facts and we know that Trump, a convicted felon, has released violent felons from prison. He also pardoned other convicted felons during his first term. So, if inmates are in charge it surely points to the Trump administration.

If I was doing it constantly, yes, it’s against the rules. Problem is, your last couple posts I found genuinely funny with your constant denials and whataboutisms. Sorry!
