Overview

• During a CNN interview Sunday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett said Charlie Kirk "continuously" used rhetoric that targeted people of color and that she would not "honor" that.
• She argued that most Democratic no votes came from lawmakers of color, saying there were "only two caucasians" among them.
• The House adopted the tribute Friday with support from 215 Republicans and 95 Democrats, while 58 Democrats voted no and about 64 voted present or were absent.
• Crockett said Kirk had recently criticized her on his podcast and linked her to the "great white replacement," reinforcing her decision to oppose the measure.
• The resolution followed Kirk’s Sept. 10 shooting at Utah Valley University, and some Democrats, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, voted for it.
