WASHINGTON — The U.S. House passed a resolution Friday honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk and condemning his assassination. Ninety-five Democrats voted in favor of the resolution, 38 voted “present” and 22 did not vote. Tensions emerged in Congress in the days since Kirk was fatally shot Sept. 10 while speaking on a Utah college campus. The resolution also came as President Donald Trump and his administration have sought to crack down on rhetoric surrounding Kirk’s death. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and members of the Cabinet plan to attend a memorial service for Kirk on Sunday in Arizona.
