Florida Dem lawmaker faces demands to resign after calling Charlie Kirk ‘fitting sacrifice to our Lords: Smith & Wesson’

A local Democratic lawmaker in the Miami area is facing demands for his resignation after posting a message on social media stating that Charlie Kirk was a “fitting sacrifice” to gun manufacturers following the conservative activist’s assassination at a Utah college this week.

Steve Cody, a councilman in the Miami-Dade village of Palmetto Bay, sparked outrage this week when he wrote on Facebook: “Charlie Kirk is a fitting sacrifice to our Lords: Smith & Wesson. Hallowed be their names.”

He insisted he will not resign, noting he is term-limited and intends to serve through 2028.

Palmetto Bay Mayor Karyn Cunningham said Cody’s words were incompatible with his duties as an elected official.

“I find the post itself not fitting of the village of Palmetto Bay as elected officials. We are held to, I think, a higher bar,” Cunningham said.

She added: “It’s certainly not something that I can support, and so I feel like it’s in the best interest of the community for us to pivot in a different direction.”

“Charlie Kirk is a fitting sacrifice to our Lords: Smith & Wesson. Hallowed be their names.”

No, its 'Hollowed be their points", Cunningham - get it right. If you have to be an assclown at least put some effort into it.

For people so opposed to guns, they sure don’t mind using them on their critics.

Democrats rarely have honor or can sense shame, so he will not resign. I can only hope he is hounded every day until 2028.

I think often of many millions of legally disarmed citizens that Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot murdered (would take hundreds of centuries for U.S. and Canadian criminals to equal what was done by those four governments in just one).

He said that “only after it was out, I realized the pain it would cause not just to Charlie Kirk’s family and friends, but to a much wider community, and that was not my intent.”

Ok, Buster, then what exactly was your intent then???

According to Section 2.7 of the PAlmetta Bay City Charter, ten percent of the total number of electors [voters] registered to vote at the last regular Village election can initiate a recall petition.

Until then Council member Steve Cody should be shunned with a complete cessation of social interaction and communication, just as while walking one shuns dog excrement left on the sidewalk.

If he won’t resign, remove him from any committees of which he is a member.
