“Our democracy rests on a fragile but enduring promise that disagreements are to be aired through speech and debate and through the ballot box” he continued. “Not through intimidation, not through violence and not through bloodshed.”<\/p>\n

The National Republican Congressional Committee has already begun running ads slamming Democrats who don’t plan to support the resolution, citing a Democratic member telling Axios<\/em><\/a> they are being “set up.” Another Democratic lawmaker told the Washington Examiner<\/em> that “everyone feels very differently” and that the vote will be “all over the board.”<\/p>\n

“The modern Democrat Party is simply too radical and unhinged to condemn a politically motivated assassination and honor a man and father of two whose only crime was loving America, winning the debate in the proper fashion, and inspiring others to do the same,” NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella wrote in a press release. <\/p>\n

The resolution was introduced to honor the life of Kirk and condemn the act of political violence. A similar resolution was passed 424-0 in June, condemning the assassination of former Speaker of the Minnesota House Melissa Hortman. The resolution honoring Kirk was introduced by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and cosponsored<\/a> by 176 Republicans. <\/p>\n

“Whereas the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk must not be allowed to deepen the divides in our Nation, but instead serve as a turning point to recommit ourselves to better angels, and to the timeless American principles of liberty governed by truth and the virtues of peaceful dialogue,” the bill<\/a> wrote.<\/p>\n

The Senate unanimously passed Sen. Mike Lee’s resolution (R-UT) on Tuesday. The resolution condemns his assassination “in the strongest possible terms,” while also honoring his life. The Senate’s version of the resolution is only two pages, much shorter than the House’s version. The upper chamber also passed a resolution Thursday by voice vote to designate Oct. 14 of this year as the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk. <\/p>\n
