US EditionCharlie Kirk Legacy Should Be in 'Dustbin of History,' Ilhan Omar Says
- The Alabama House resolution to honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk passed, but Democrats Terri Sewell and Shomari Figures voted against it this week.
- The vote followed Kirk’s assassination on September 10 during a Utah college speech and stems from tensions over his controversial views and divisive language in the House resolution.

- Their opposition highlights ongoing political divisions as the Congressional Black Caucus condemned political violence while refusing to ignore Kirk’s ideology, reflecting deep partisan and cultural divides.
