Leavitt criticized House Democrats who voted against a resolution last week to formally condemn his assassination, which split Democrats last Friday as 95 voted to approve the ceremonial measure, 58 voted against it, 38 voted present and 22 abstained
Detractors in the Congressional Black Caucus claimed the resolution was "an attempt to legitimize Kirk’s worldview — a worldview that includes ideas many Americans find racist, harmful, and fundamentally un-American," according to their statement.
"This was a simple gesture of human decency to denounce political violence," she said. "I wish I could say that this was only a fringe group, but 96 votes is nearly half of the entire House Democrat caucus."
"And they didn't just vote against this basic resolution condemning political violence," she said. "A number of those same Democrats took to the House floor to smear Charlie Kirk's name. The man wasn't even buried yet, and Democrat members of Congress were denigrating his memory on the floor of the House of Representatives."
