AOC Condemns Charlie Kirk’s Rhetoric Following House Tribute
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized a House resolution honoring Charlie Kirk, arguing it whitewashed his controversial views. The resolution declared Kirk a “courageous American patriot,” but Ocasio-Cortez highlighted his past statements, including opposition to the Civil Rights Act. She condemned the assassination but believed the resolution went too far in portraying Kirk as a figure of national unity. While other figures, such as Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, offered praise and condolences, Ocasio-Cortez maintained her stance against celebrating Kirk’s legacy in a manner that ignored his past remarks.
