‘Denigrating His Memory’: Karoline Leavitt Torches House Democrats for Opposing Resolution Honoring Charlie Kirk
During a tribute to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk from the press room podium on Monday, White House press secretary Karolina Leavitt denounced the House Democrats who voted against a resolution meant to honor Kirk and condemn political violence.

The measure, which was introduced by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), passed with a vote of 310-58.

“This past Friday, 58 housed Democrats voted ‘no’ and 38 voted ‘present’ on a resolution that simply stated, condemning in the strongest possible terms the assassination of Charles James Kirk and all forms of political violence,” Leavitt said. “There were no strings attached to this vote. This was a simple gesture of human decency to condemn political violence. I wish I could say that this was only a fringe group. But 96 votes is nearly half of the entire House Democrat caucus.”
