By Lauren BurkeMembers of the Congressional Black Caucus were split on the question of whether Charlie Kirk, a rightwing commentator with controversial views on race, should be honored by a lengthy Republican-penned resolution in his honor.
All Republicans who voted, 215, voted in favor of the Kirk Resolution (with four missing the vote), along with 95 Democrats.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus who voted in favor of honoring Charlie Kirk were Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-BY), Reps. Don Davis (D-NC), Greg Meeks (D-NY), and David Scott (D-NY).
All other Black Caucus members voted “NO” on the Kirk resolution or “present.”Leadership pressured several members of Congress to “take a walk” rather than vote NO to honoring Kirk.
Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be murdered.
