House approves resolution honoring Charlie Kirk
The House passed a resolution honoring slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, with 310 votes, but 58 Democrats opposed it, highlighting partisan divisions. While Republicans framed the resolution as condemning Kirk's assassination and honoring his legacy, Democrats criticized its partisan nature and the elevation of views they disagreed with. The vote followed a week of heightened tensions, fueled by Kirk's death and subsequent controversies, including calls for censuring Rep. Ilhan Omar and the firing of individuals for criticizing Kirk. While some Democrats attended a vigil for Kirk, others felt the resolution was a political trap, forcing them to endorse his views.
