Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took the House floor on Friday ahead of a vote to memorialize slain conservative leader Charlie Kirk, using the moment to attack his character and falsely claim he was anti-Semitic. She suggested that voting \u201cyes\u201d on the resolution was akin to supporting the \u201cJim Crow\u201d era of segregation and bigotry.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"392\" data-end=\"883\">\u201cThe majority proceeded with a resolution that brings great pain to the millions of Americans who endured segregation, Jim Crow, and the legacy of bigotry,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said. She accused Kirk of opposing the Civil Rights Act and claimed he defended the attacker of Paul Pelosi. She also alleged Kirk accused Jews of controlling colleges, nonprofits, movies, and Hollywood. \u201cHis rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"1276\">Kirk was assassinated last week at Utah Valley University. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, 22, faces seven charges and could face the death penalty if convicted. Ahead of Kirk\u2019s memorial service, the House and Senate passed a resolution declaring a \u201cNational Day of Remembrance\u201d for Kirk. However, many Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, declined to support the House resolution.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1278\" data-end=\"1560\">The Senate unanimously passed a resolution designating Oct. 14, Kirk\u2019s birthday, as a day of remembrance. Sen. Rick Scott praised Kirk\u2019s commitment to civic education and public service. House Speaker Mike Johnson said the House would soon honor Kirk and condemn political violence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1629\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Robinson told police he acted because Kirk \u201cspreads too much hate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">AOC is on the House floor smearing Charlie Kirk just days after he was kiIIed by a left-wing lunatic<\/p>\n<p>She says a resolution honoring his memory brings &quot;great pain to millions of Americans.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t even buried yet.<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely disgusting and evil <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CGTrwUqY9y\">pic.twitter.com\/CGTrwUqY9y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/libsoftiktok\/status\/1969084016717422787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
