Some Democrats oppose resolution honoring Charlie Kirk and condemning political violence

While lawmakers have uniformly denounced Kirk's assassination, some critics opposed the resolution given his past statements on transgender people and Martin Luther King Jr. 

Washington — In a vote that divided Democrats, the House on Friday passed a resolution honoring slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk and rejecting the political violence of recent years.

The vote was 310-58, with 95 Democrats joining all 215 Republicans in voting yes on the nonbinding resolution. The 58 no votes all came from Democrats — mostly members of the Congressional Black and Hispanic caucuses — and another 38 Democrats voted present. Another 22 Democrats did not vote.
