House Republicans offered a resolution Friday honoring the life of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, and opposing political violence. The resolution passed by 310-58. This calls into question who the 58 Democrats are who would not stand up for nonviolence
The resolution, H. Res. 719, was introduced by Speaker Mike Johnson and was co-sponsored by 196 members of Congress. After a series of statements about Charlie Kirk’s life and death, it culminates with a statement that the House of Representatives:
- (1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the assassination of Charles “Charlie” James Kirk, and all forms of political violence;
- (2) commends and honors the dedicated law enforcement and emergency personnel for their tireless efforts in finding the suspect responsible for the assassination of Charlie Kirk and urges the administration of swift justice to the suspect;
- (3) extends its deepest condolences and sympathies to Charlie Kirk’s family, including his wife, Erika, and their two young children, and prays for comfort, peace, and healing in this time of unspeakable loss;
- (4) honors the life, leadership, and legacy of Charlie Kirk, whose steadfast dedication to the Constitution, civil discourse, and Biblical truth inspired a generation to cherish and defend the blessings of liberty; and
- (5) calls upon all Americans—regardless of race, party affiliation, or creed—to reject political violence, recommit to respectful debate, uphold American values, and respect one another as fellow Americans.
Incredibly, 58 Democrats voted against the resolution, most of which is things we should all be able to agree to, even if we disliked Charlie Kirk and his message.
This is the roll call vote. It is no surprise to find Jasmine Crockett and The Squad squarely on the side of blood in the streets.
