On Friday, the House of Representatives adopted a resolution to honor the “life and legacy” of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week while speaking on a college campus in Utah.

H.Res. 719, titled “Honoring the life and legacy of Charles ‘Charlie’ James Kirk,” was introduced by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on September 16, 2025, and co-sponsored by 165 House Republicans. No Democrats co-sponsored the resolution.  The measure condemns Kirk’s assassination and praises him as a “courageous American patriot” who championed free speech and constitutional principles, and calls for unity against political violence.

While the measure got bipartisan support,  58 Democrats voted against the resolution.

Fox News reports that the resolution passed 310-58 with 95 Democrats voting yay,  58 voting nay,  22 not voting at all and 38 voting “present.”

Far-left Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), who is also the Democrat nominee for governor, smeared Kirk following the resolution, claiming Kirk was a “Christian nationalist” who wanted to roll back rights for women and minorities.

Per Fox News:

“I take my oath to the Constitution seriously. I believe in free speech and that the First Amendment wouldn’t be necessary if it were only meant to cover language we agreed with,” Sherrill said in a statement.

“It is meant to protect people like Charlie Kirk who present vile dissenting views. But it is also meant to protect teachers, doctors and TV comedians who may express views the president doesn’t like.

“Charlie Kirk was advocating for a Christian nationalist government and to roll back the rights of women and Black people. This flies in the face of every value I hold dear and that I fight for,” she added. “But the Constitution protects free speech, even for those I vehemently oppose.”

Her ridiculous claims received pushback on social media.
