Votes in the House were split with 90 Democrats voting in favor of the resolution. The resolution received unanimous support in the Senate.
Celebrate Kirk’s death. Burn him in effigy. Call it “a good start.”
So now were honoring dead Nazis?
Each vote by a POS idiot.
I really don’t understand why the Dems are propping up an objectively horrible person.
I get why the pedo party is of course
Performative civility. The dems would hold a vigil for Hitler if their consultants said it would appeal to uncommitted moderate voters.
Why don’t we have Melissa Hortman rememberance day? She was actually a politician.
I’m not a fan of the Democrats, except that they are the major opposition to the Republicans.
But if you actually want an answer why a theoretical good and honest politician might do something like this, it could be agreements behind the scenes.
If you could get Republicans to stop cutting the ACA subsidies, and the trade-off was something not tangible, like having a day of remembrance for a bad person, you might do it just to save lives.
It is a minority politician’s job to make deals if it furthers their agenda. Obviously, I don’t know if this is what happened here, but it’s theoretically possible.
I sure hope so. Otherwise they are legitimizing a monster for nothing.
It’s because the democratic party at large is a fascist-lite party, so they have little qualms about honoring full blown fascists. That and they love nothing more than propping up the idea that we need to keep decorum up at all times.
Not shooting your political opponents isn’t just “decorum.”
Which party member shot Charlie Kirk?
I can’t believe that it’s so hard for people to believe that someone who made a career being a hate monger was murdered for it.
The kid who killed him was not a politician, he didn’t even vote. He was in a relationship with someone who belonged to a group that Kirk made money on by saying heinous shit about constantly.
Is there proof he was had a trans girlfriend? I find it hard to believe with everything else coming out about him.
Honoring a guy who openly wanted genocide in Gaza and wanted to have trans people at home killed also isn’t “decorum” but I guess that’s too complex for you to understand

I don’t understand how that’s a counter to his point. Can you explain?
Where was the “decorum” for Melissa Hortman?
They also operate under the absurd notion that they can sway Republican voters if they keep moving to the right.
And I don’t understand why they would choose October 14th, which is George Floyd’s birthday.edit: Apparently it’s his birthday as well.
Because it’s a chance to tacitly insult the late George Floyd, his family and friends, all his supporters, the ‘other team’, and the entire anti-racism movement that has pissed them off so much. They’re not going to pass up an opportunity like that.
Just refuse to acknowledge Carotid Artery Charlie and hijack that shit right back:
It’s also Charlie Kirk’s birthday, just 20 years later
Early christians decided to make Xmas in December to align with when pagans were celebrating winter solstice, in order to appropriate the holiday for themselves.
Not saying that’s entirely the reason, but it sure is convenient for them to add their noise.
Because they are cucks. They like to watch our country get f***ed.
Something something decorum.
They ask more of people’s ignorance than they do of their virtue.
Fear. That’s why. The right is so unhinged that they fear for their lives.
Not that they are going to be safe anyways.
Democrats don’t want to be attacked by the right wing extremists, so they coddle them and give them what they want.
This is exactly how Nazi Germany came to be and we need to stop acting like it’s not.
Charlie Kirk is personally responsible for many people committing suicide due to his harsh views and his viewers base that spews hate at people they don’t like.
He deserves nothing.
Fuck Charlie Kirk.
I went and tried to find some redeeming quality about him and left with nothing. Still shouldn’t have been killed but man he’s not a person you would want to have a national holiday dedicated to.
tried to find some redeeming quality about him
He is dead? I’ll take what I can get these days.
Yup. Shouldn’t have been murdered (thanks right wing nut job), but he was a real piece of shit.
There literally isn’t one redeeming quality
he probably tried to be a good father
I don’t have to explain that obviously he failed
The short sighted idiots don’t see that is not just innocently agreeing to making a special day for a dead guy that ultimately doesn’t matter. It’s bait for the regime to punish those who criticize and mock the day. There will be people who lose jobs and worse over this farce.
“Charlie was a good man – a devout husband, father, and friend. His life was shaped by his faith and the idea that in America, debate and discussion are crucial to the betterment of our country,” Scott said on Thursday.
Kirk was almost certainly a demagogue who believed in nothing and was willing to shill any copytext from oligarchs and the American far right for his own material benefit. Only a fool would deny the irony of Kirk getting a taste of his own medicine (one last time).
But the funny thing is that they are showing extreme disrespect to Kirk (after he was gunned down no less) by essentially stating that he was a gullible idiot who lacked the mental capacity to evaluate American political culture. And how was his life shaped by faith? If his life was shaped by faith he wouldn’t have focused on politics.
His life was shaped by the faith that what happened to him was fair game, as long as it kept happening to someone else.
It was simply his turn. Sooner than he expected.
Get your favorite Charlie Kirk quote ready. I’m partial to his one about black pilots.

Wow 118 Dems and 4 Repubs actually have a spine.
The democrats (most of them) are such fucking cucks.
Thank you for posting this.
Including Rep Sarah McBride, open trans member of Congress voted to memorialize someone that was openly transphobic.
Same corporate shills, different bumper stickers.
That’s ridiculous.
They f-ing agreed to that? OK, they are beyond help.
They are nice fascists, and the sooner liberals realize that, the sooner you can move on to revolution and fix the country.
