Dozens of 'morally bankrupt' Democrats vote against condemning Charlie Kirk's assassination

'Their silence spoke volumes.'

The House has passed a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk's legacy and condemning his horrific assassination. Although the resolution garnered bipartisan support, dozens of Democrats couldn't bring themselves to honor Kirk.

The resolution passed in a 310-58 vote, with 95 Democrats joining 210 Republicans to commemorate the conservative activist. That being said, 38 Democrats voted present, 22 didn't vote at all, and 58 voted against the resolution all together.

'The Democrat party is clearly so morally bankrupt that many of them have lost all sense of decency.'

Notably, the House unanimously passed a resolution condemning the assassination of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman, a Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party member who was brutally gunned down in her home in June.

Despite unifying behind their fellow Democrats like Hortman, House progressives like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan refused to formally condemn Kirk's assassination.

Although similar resolutions have been passed unanimously in the Senate, House Republicans have pointed fingers at the "morally bankrupt" Democrats who refuse to condemn Kirk's murder.

"Their silence spoke volumes," Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York said in a post on X. "Americans won’t forget."

"The Democrat party is clearly so morally bankrupt that many of them have lost all sense of decency," Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota said in a post on X. "Absolutely shameful."
