Was there any resolution for the Hortman murders? Las Vegas mass murder? Orlando? Aurora? Uvalde? Sandy Hook? The Amish killings?

I know in this tribal world I’m not supposed to say it, but these proclamations are little more than virtue signals. Whether it’s the right or the left, they’re aimed at the base and framed to embarrass the other side for not supporting them. That’s exactly what’s happening here.

Fifty eight Democrats vote ‘no' as House adopts resolution honoring Charlie Kirk
by Emily Brooks and Mike Lillis - 09/19/25 11:00 AM ET

The House adopted a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk and condemning political violence in a largely bipartisan vote Friday that appeared to prove difficult for Democrats.

***The vote was 310-58***, with 95 Democrats supporting the resolution, which was brought forward by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) nine days after Kirk, a conservative activist, was fatally shot during an open-air rally in Utah. (Asterisks are mine)

Thirty-eight Democrats voted “present,” and 58 voted “no.”

It was a politically tough vote for many Democrats, who do not want to celebrate Kirk’s politics but have vehemently condemned the shooting and did not want to be seen as sympathizing with political violence.

Top Democratic leaders informed their caucus Thursday that they would support the resolution but told individual members to vote their conscience. It proved an agonizing decision for many Democrats, especially those representing minority communities, who were sometimes a target of Kirk’s political musings. Many viewed Kirk as a divisive figure, in the model of President Trump, not the unifier portrayed in the resolution.

“It’s a ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’ situation,” Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), head of the Congressional Black Caucus, said the evening before the vote.

Johnson said ahead of the vote that there was “no reason” and “no excuse” for Democrats to vote no on the resolution, saying there was “no partisan language” in it.

That partisan dispute over Kirk’s legacy has sent shock-waves across Washington and the country at large, as the Trump administration — cheered on by the MAGA movement — has launched a crackdown against anyone who appears to belittle Kirk’s death or question his virtue, and Democrats have responded with Orwellian warnings that free speech rights are being trampled by an authoritarian president.

The resolution eulogizes Kirk, a close ally of Trump and founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, as a “courageous American patriot” who “boldly lived out his faith with conviction, courage, and compassion.” It asserts he “worked tirelessly to promote unity without compromising on conviction.”

It goes on to call Kirk’s assassination “a sobering reminder of the growing threat posed by political extremism and hatred in our society,” saying “leaders at every level—government, education, media, and beyond—must stand united in unequivocal condemnation of political violence.”

The resolution resolves that the House condemns Kirk’s assassination “and all forms of political violence”; commends law enforcement and emergency personnel for efforts in finding Kirk’s suspected shooter; ***and extends condolences to Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk and his two children*** (Asterisks are mine)

Kirk peddled in paranoid, racist, and Islamophobic right-wing nonsense. He called Islam “the sword the Left is using to slit the throat of America.” How profoundly rotten and hateful can one be?

Charlie Kirk mightily helped foment the rage and division that seems to engulf and define our nation today. Kirk helped create this toxic, poisonous stew we are drowning in—he fed it and profited from it.

Lionizing a racist, misogynistic rabble rouser just doesn't fit with some people's values.

You'll never post anything truthful.



"Kirk’s memorial service will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, 11 days after he was fatally shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University. The service is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. MT (1 p.m. ET), according to a web page about the memorial from Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA."

I hope Joe Arpagio is one of the speakers. That should round out the hate brigade.

The memorial will feature a who’s who of US leaders and conservative pundits paying tribute to the slain activist, who was a close ally of the president. Trump said earlier this week he will “say a few words” at the ceremony.
