Ocasio-Cortez: Charlie Kirk killing ‘not a license for the abuse of power’

  • On September 19, 2025, the House approved a resolution commemorating the late right-wing figure Charlie Kirk, receiving strong support from Republicans and backing from some Democrats.
  • The resolution followed a charged political environment, including Kirk's controversial statements and a violent 2022 attack on Paul Pelosi, which intensified concerns about political violence.
  • Despite condemning Kirk's assassination, 58 Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, voted against the measure, citing Kirk's rhetoric as divisive, ignorant, and harmful to many Americans.
  • Ocasio-Cortez emphasized that while condemning the brutal killing and the problem of political violence, it is possible to reject Kirk's beliefs and not endorse his views.
  • The vote revealed a Democratic split over honoring Kirk, underscoring ongoing debates about political rhetoric, violence, and the challenge of uniting a polarized nation.
