The Dems’ disdain for Charlie Kirk showed, even on the day of his memorial.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, slammed others in her party for not opposing the resolution honoring him, saying it ‘hurt [her] heart’ that only two White Democrats voted no.
She claimed Kirk’s rhetoric targeted people of color. In total, 58 House Dems voted against it. President Trump fired back: ‘It tells you that they’re deranged.’
Despite calls to deescalate, Dems still labeled Trump a fascist and skipped Kirk’s memorial in Arizona, and only six attended the earlier Capitol vigil.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who are among Kirk’s harshest critics, also didn’t hold back. Omar claimed Kirk’s legacy belongs ‘in the dustbin of history.’
Ocasio-Cortez previously called Kirk’s views ‘ignorant [and] uneducated.’
At the memorial, former Trump administration official Ben Carson appeared to fire back: ‘I’ve seen him run circles around people with college degrees.’
