<p>In a recent vote, 58 House Democrats refused to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Nearly two dozen more (22) voted &#8220;present,&#8221; and only 95 voted to approve the measure drafted to honor the &#8220;life and legacy&#8221; of Kirk.</p>



<p>This stands in stark contrast to an earlier resolution condemning an attack on state lawmakers from Minnesota who were shot earlier this year.</p>



<p>That resolution passed the House in a unanimous 424-0 vote in late June.</p>



<p>The hypocrisy from the left is clear.</p>



<p>&#8220;In June, House Republicans voted unanimously to condemn the attacks on Democratic Minnesota lawmakers,&#8221; Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., wrote on X. &#8220;Last week, not even half of House Democrats voted to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk.&#8221;</p>



<p>Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., recounted the ;tragedy in Minnesota ;with more detail, writing in a statement, &#8220;When Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered, and State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were wounded, the U.S. House unanimously passed a resolution condemning the attack and political violence.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;But after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, 58 Democrats voted against denouncing political violence,&#8221; Mace wrote.</p>



<p>Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., said he believed the decision by dozens of Democrats to oppose the measure would reflect negatively on the party as a whole in the coming midterm elections.</p>



<p>&#8220;58 House Democrats refused to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Every House Republican voted to condemn the attack against the Democrat lawmakers in Minnesota. This is why Democrats continue to lose,&#8221; Steube wrote on X. &#8220;Americans won’t forget in 2026.&#8221;</p>



<p>The GOP lead measure memorializing Kirk went into detail on the slain conservative activist as a person, lauding him as &#8220;one of the most prominent voices in America, engaging in respectful, civil discourse across college campuses, media platforms and national forums, always seeking to elevate truth, foster understanding and strengthen the Republic.&#8221;</p>



<p>It also said Kirk &#8220;personified the values of the First Amendment…and did so with honor, courage, and respect for his fellow Americans,&#8221; while calling on all Americans to condemn political violence.</p>



<p>Several Democrats who ;opposed the measure ;said they were uncomfortable with its praise of Kirk.</p>
