Progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into Charlie Kirk during a speech on Capitol Hill after Congress voted to honor the late conservative activist.
On Friday, the House officially passed a resolution honoring Kirk and his legacy, despite 96 Democrats refusing to explicitly condemn last week's heinous murder at Utah Valley University.
A total of 60 Democrats voted against the resolution, with an additional 38 voting ‘present’ - or neutral - and 22 not voting at all.
Although the resolution passed with a 310-58 vote, some have raised concerns about the stark difference in response compared to the June assassination of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman.
On June 14, Hortman and her husband were tragically assassinated in their home in Brooklyn Park. The suspect, Vance Luther Boelter, is accused of impersonating a police officer to gain entry before fatally shooting the couple.
A resolution honoring their lives was passed on June 25, receiving unanimous support with a 424–0 vote, including every Republican voting in favor of condemning the murders.
Those who voted against Friday’s measure to honor Kirk included Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, along with fellow ‘Squad’ members Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.).
Afterward, AOC's firebrand instincts came into sharp view when she decided to skewer Kirk in a speech on the House floor just nine days after he was brutally murdered in broad daylight.

And that vile repugnant scumbag AOC is contemplating a Senate run if Schumer retires or a POTUS run!
Were it not for the US Constitution,
we would have no such Democrats.
Most other societies eliminate the
dregs.
Coward. She never had the balls to debate Kirk face to face so she talks sh*t after he’s dead. What a sick excuse for a human being.
I wish she go back to the sewer she crawled out of.
Just your typical democrap human debris
This is more evidence the Democrat Party is a party of unapologetic terrorists that needs to be outlawed and its leaders arrested and imprisoned.
They support cold-blooded murder of their political opponents.
There is no debate here. These people are enemies of civilization. They are savages, openly cheering murder.
One might think it had to do with the fact that Hortman was Speaker of the House in Minnesota, one of the "Political Class".
I assume she was (D) as well.
Kirk was a private citizen, therefore not a member of the ruling class. And NOT a (D).
Too simple?
Their depravity is on full display for the world to see.
They are becoming more and more desperate. They see the writing on the wall. Nothing matters to them anymore except winning by any means necessary. Do anything, say anything, smear the dead, ANYTHING goes for them now. They are losing big, and they know it.
I wonder what the attitudes and comments will be when her own memory is eulogized?
Can’t add to that. +1 100%
Am I then to understand correctly that 96 Dems think it’s ok to murder those one disagrees with politically? Which is why they won’t condemn Kirk’s murder?
The old '60s and '70s "activists" are dying off. Their completely-indoctrinated kids are retiring to smoke legal pot all day, their Prozac'd and Adderalled grandkids and great-grandkids are in the basement mesmerized by their video games, and the remaining Leftist orgs are having to hire paid "protesters." It's only the bought-and-paid-for gaslighting media making these people look like some kind of "movement."
When given the chance to be on the record condemning a politically motivated assassination they refused ...
... so how else are we to take it?
At least we’re getting the ground rules out in the open now.
the #ing Rats are vile — nothing new here
I hope the Democrats keep this up. It will be a clean sweep come election time.
From assassination to hanging in less than three months. We wasted no time back in 1865.
