The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is sending shock waves through Capitol Hill, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressing fears for their own safety and taking greater security precautions following a summer of political violence.
Members are beefing up their security, moving public events indoors or canceling them altogether. One is even vowing to carry firearms.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., the progressive star who has faced numerous death threats over the years, said Thursday she had postponed two public events planned for this weekend in North Carolina, including a rally in Raleigh set for Sunday.

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., the progressive star”
Totally fictional like Obama.
Oh, hurry ... strengthen the Patriot Act, right George?

Since dems feel so SAFE in DC and not worried abt crime they should all have to get rid of their security details and walk around just like the citizenry.
Good post.
I occasionally “tune in” to the leftist sites on Reddit.
They are totally insane—hard core leftists would gladly take pot shots at anybody who was not Antifa.
These people flatter themselves.
They just aren’t that special.
Not even in the same league as Charlie Kirk.
Many rabid lob democrats have called for gun control and called this assassination “gun violence.
True. Anyone “right” of Marx is a “right wing nazi” according to the crazies. The democrats created their monsters and the monsters are uncontrollable. Their infant minds in adult bodies consider anyone who doesn’t coddle them and give them everything they want a Nazi.
Amen to that
These cowards always are fearful. They were cowering and hiding as Pelosi’s fraud shi-show commenced on Jan 6th. It is always about “them”.
Hey Congress, We, the People, are at the mercy of the lunatics you all made and coddle on a daily basis. We are at the mercy of you who seem to care very little when you ship our family members into foreign wars you all get us into.
Yet we keep moving.
Reap what you sow.
Great point.
I would bet a lot that Oklahoma’s own Markwayne Mullin, mma tough guy, is at the front of the pack clamoring for more security protection. He was like a scared little girl on 1/6.
If the current crop of congresscritters are saying they feel threatened, it just sounds like a pretext for going after âsniper rifles.â
Read what the Democrat party cultist said about why he murdered Kirk. The Democrats created this monster and now try to pretend they are it targets. More garbage behavior by the Democrat cult of hate.=
Democrats are directly culpable for the murder of Kirk. This isnât âjust politicsâ. Their vile lying slanderous hate filled rhetoric directed at everyone who has a different opinion then their cult has now lead to murder. They are guilty and must be held accountable by the people of the US for their inexcusable behavior.
The Dems arenât nearly frightened enough.
Yet.
But hopefully they will be, and very soon.

Yes, DNC is all over the place going after guns. As to fear, how about starting with the House members who yelled against a prayer for Kirk?
“House members who yelled against a prayer for Kirk”
A despicable display to be sure.....if it’s connected to Trump in any way they refuse any cooperation whatsoever.
This is who we’re dealing with and I’m sure more than a few democrats on Capitol Hill are quietly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The demonicrats have nothing to worry about, none of them are worth the effort.
The truth is that Congressional Democrats were concerned about their base back in September, and they're counting on the LAAP-dog media to bury that story down the memory hole so they can virtue signal off of Charlie Hurt's death today.
Axios via MSN (7/7/2025): "There needs to be blood": Democrats' voters tell them to "get shot" in Trump resistance push
Excerpt:
At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty â and not be afraid to get hurt.
Why it matters: House Democrats told Axios they see a growing anger among their base that has, in some cases, morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law...
What we're hearing: The grassroots wants more. "Some of them have suggested ... what we really need to do is be willing to get shot" when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios...
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them "civility isn't working" and to prepare for "violence ... to fight to protect our democracy."
A fifth House Democrat told Axios that "people online have sent me crazy s*** ... told me to storm the White House and stuff like that," though they added that "there's always people on the internet saying crazy stuff."
A sixth House Democrat said that when they try to persuade voters to channel their frustration into a focus on winning back Congress in 2026, "people who are angry don't accept that. They're angry beyond things."
Zoom in: Many lawmakers said these voters tend to be white, well-educated and live in upscale suburban or urban neighborhoods.
"What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and ... a lot of times that's coming from economically very secure white people," said an eighth House Democrat...
The bottom line: "The expectations aren't just unreal. They're dangerous," the eighth House Democrat said.
Don't let the liberal LAAP-dog media whitewash away their own reporting from just a few months ago.
They not only told us WHAT they were going to do, they told us WHO was going to do it.
