House Resolution Honoring Charlie Kirk: Who Voted NO?

So 55% of house Democrats would not vote "YES" on a resolution honoring Chartlie Kirk. Some voted "present", some recorded "Not Voting" and some voted "No".

This should become a big deal in the run up to the midterm elections.

The Obama-nation got elected on his/her record of voting "Present".

They should have all voted no. But they can do as they please. Why honor a racist in congress?

Why did they hold a moment (8 min 46 sec) of silence and take a knee for a drug dealer?

What's your basis for that? Based on what I read, he was strongly anti immigrant and did not believe in systemic racism. While we may not agree with him, it doesn't mean he was a racist.

He'd certainly feel more affinity with Candace Owens or Marco Rubio than most of the white men on your side of the aisle.

I feel for the man’s family but in my opinion he’s not the hero that some are trying to portray him as. He’s certainly not a christian martyr as some evangelical preachers are labeling him.

If some in congress don’t want to support him with a congressional resolution I don’t have a problem with that.

But ICU is right, I’m sure the opposition are already coming up with ways to politicize this vote and will make it a position piece for the midterm elections.
