House Democrats Face Criticism for Supporting Charlie Kirk Day
Members of the party who voted "yes" did so to express opposition to political violence, according to Hakeem Jeffries.
A congressional resolution declaring October 14 a day of remembrance for slain right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk has sparked controversy among House Democrats.
- The House of Representatives adopted the resolution with a 310-58 vote.
- 95 Democrats voted in favor, 58 voted "no", and 38 voted "present".
Observers say the resolution confirms the continuing rise of Christian nationalism in conservative American politics.
The issue was divisive among Democratic representatives, who condemned Kirk's September 10 assassination but opposed his views on LGBTQ rights, racial justice, and the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
