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, highlighting the rise of Christian nationalism in conservative American politics.
- The House of Representatives adopted a resolution establishing Kirk's birthday as a memorial to remember his life and legacy, passing with a 310-58 vote.
- 95 Democrats voted in favor, 58 voted "no", and 38 voted "present".
- A less politically charged Senate version passed unanimously.
Democratic representatives universally condemned Kirk's September 10 assassination in Utah but opposed his alliance with President Donald Trump and stances against LGBTQ rights, racial justice, and the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
