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.”

"It's not going to happen. I am term limited out. I serve until 2028. And I intend to serve out the next 3+ years of my term. It was something that I regretted doing, that I, only after it was out, that I realized that the pain that it would cause not just to Charlie Kirk's family and friends, but to a much wider community, and that was not my intent," he added.

“...Why have all of these local yokel “mayors” and “councilahos” turned into giant crap-eating maggots?...”
Their facade has been peeled away by this, and we’re seeing many of them for the first time of what they actually are...and they’re pretty darn ugly to say the least. They need to be gone.
Yes. We’ve got to save America.
For people so opposed to guns, they sure don’t mind using them on their critics.
Perfect analysis!
Agreed, it’s time to remind these assclowns who they work for. You will resign, sir, because you have already removed yourself from decent society.
How will he honestly represent people who are conservative or wear apparel with Charlie Kirk’s name in view? He can’t and won’t.
S&W should sue for slander, since it was not their product used in the assassination.
You shouldn't even vote for it. Election ballots try to help voters identify dog excrement by putting a (D) next to it.
BUT BUT BUT. ALL the DNC media whores tell us there is no hate or violence from “the left” or the democrat party.
Yep. Ironic that this “anti-fascist” warrior’s weapon of choice was a German Mauser 98.
SMITH & WESSON HAVE DONE MORE FOR THE USA THAN ONE FLORIDA COUNCILMAN
Better that than playing with it.
