AP Images Alexandria Ocasio-CortezFar-left Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives used a resolution to honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk as the opportunity to sow more political hate and division.
Today, 58 Democrats voted against the resolution, while another 38 voted present.
Thus the “heinous” assassination is “a sobering reminder of the growing threat posed by political extremism and hatred in our society,” the resolution avers.
Such political violence is inimical to a free society, the resolution continues, and “leaders at every level — government, education, media, and beyond — must stand united in unequivocal condemnation of political violence, regardless of their ideology.”The resolution “condemns in the strongest possible terms [Kirk’s] assassination … and all forms of political violence.”Ocasio-CortezAll that was too much for the 58 Democrats, who apparently didn’t wish to condemn political violence and assassinating of conservatives.
I’m thinking especially of his children and his wife, whose grief cannot be measured.”The 15th Amendment to the Constitution, not the Civil Rights Act, gave blacks the right to vote, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 knocked down state obstacles to that right.
