Karoline Leavitt TORCHES House Dems Voting No on the Kirk Resolution (AND for Their Vile Smears) – Twitchy

As we told you late last week, 58 House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Additionally, 38 Dems voted “present” and 22 didn’t vote at all.

The resolution still passed without the assistance of more than 100 Democrats:

The House approved a resolution Friday to honor Charlie Kirk, a week after the conservative activist was assassinated at an event in Utah.

Notably, Democratic leaders and nearly 100 rank-and-file Democrats joined Republican to adopt the measure on a 310-58 vote.

During today’s White House briefing, Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt went nuclear on these Democrats as well as some of them who used the opportunity smear Kirk from the House floor. Watch part one:

Here are the comments from Leavitt, via @CurtisHouck: 

“Unfortunately, there have been some jarring exceptions to this unity. This past Friday, 58 House Democrats voted no and 38 voted present on a resolution that simply stated, condemning in the strongest possible terms the assassination of Charles James Kirk and all forms of political violence. There were no strings attached to this vote. This was a simple gesture of human decency to denounce political violence. I wish I could say that this was only a fringe group, but 96 votes is nearly half of the entire House Democrat caucus and they didn’t just vote against this basic resolution condemning political violence. A number of those same Democrats took to the House floor to smear Charlie Kirk’s name. The man wasn’t even buried yet, and Democrat members of Congress were denigrating his memory on the floor of the House of Representatives. This was truly a sad moment, in a clear reflection of how radical the Democrat Party has become. Many Democrats in elected office have now been totally captured by a radical fringe of the far left base, who want to dehumanize every person they disagree with. We must continue to call this wickedness out. It’s the only way that our nation can heal.”

The full post:

“For too long, past leaders have offered platitudes while political violence has been allowed to fester in innocent — and harm innocent Americans. There has been coordinated campaigns dating back years, spearheaded by radical, left-wing organizations centered on dehumanizing, intimidating, doxing, and even attacking Americans whom they disagree with. These groups have radicalized impressionable individuals to foment violence An attempted transgender assassin traveled to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s family home with plans to end his life. An attempted assassin came within an inch of ending President Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, and on the campaign trail, another attempted assassin tried to kill the President at his golf club in Florida. A left-wing assassin shot United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson right in the back, in the heart of New York City. ICE agents are facing a more than 1,000 percent increase in assaults for simply doing their jobs. Violent, radical left-wing mobs engaged in illegal behavior targeted Jewish Americans and shut down America’s college campuses under the previous administration. Left-wing mobs burned down Tesla dealerships out of protest of Elon Musk and his policies. In May, a left-wing activist shouting Free Palestine murdered two innocent Israeli embassy staffers outside of the D.C. Jewish Museum here in Washington. These are just a few examples, prominent examples of the growing left wing political violence in our country. Enough is enough. And as President Trump has promised, he will directly address the dark forces funding and supporting this domestic terrorism to finally restore order in our country. The American people can expect further very strong action on this very soon. Everyone — Republican, Democrat, everyone in between, we all deserve to live in a country where we do not have to fear for our lives, simply for stating what we believe in.”

Meanwhile the Left has been busy in the wake of the Kirk assassination trying to make the real victim — you guessed it — Jimmy Kimmel. By the way, we’re hearing Disney might have caved and will return that show to ABC. Stay tuned.
