AOC says Charlie Kirk resolution caused 'great pain'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) voted against a resolution put forth by House Republicans to honor Charlie Kirk and criticized the text, saying it would bring “great pain” to millions of people.

Speaking after her vote, Ocasio-Cortez condemned political violence in all forms, but said the “resolution only underscores the majority’s recklessness by choosing to author this condemnation and honoring on a purely partisan basis, instead of uniting Congress in this tragedy with one of the many bipartisan options to condemn political violence and Kirk’s murder, as we did with the late Melissa Hortman.”
