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.”
