Rep. Jasmine Crockett is admittedly “hurt” by knowing only two white House representatives voted against a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk.

During a recent appearance on CNN’s State of the Union from Sunday (Sept. 21), Crockett opened up about Kirk’s “rhetoric” against minorities.

“The rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color. It is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was, specifically to [people of color],” she expressed.

Two days prior, AP reported that the House passed a resolution to honor the “life and legacy” of Kirk. Fifty-eight Democrats voted against the resolution. Of those against the resolution, only two were white: Reps. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) and Mike Quigley (D-Ill.).

Prior to his death, Kirk called Crockett a “circus act” who was part of the “great replacement of white people.”

She responded to the comment on the CNN broadcast.

“If there was any way I was gonna honor somebody who decided that they were going to negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the great white replacement. Yeah, I’m not honoring that kind of stuff, especially as a civil rights attorney,” she explained.

Continuing, “It’s unfortunate that more of my colleagues — even on my side of the aisle — couldn’t see the amount of harm that this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities.”

Kirk also believed that the Civil Rights Act was a mistake and that Black women didn’t have “the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously.”

Crockett wasn’t the only female representative to speak out against the Kirk resolution.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement that though she condemns Kirk’s “brutal murder,” she also feels the event is “not about healing.”

“We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was: a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a ‘mistake,’ who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that ‘some amazing patriot out there’ should bail out his assailant, and accused Jews of controlling ‘not just the colleges — it’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans – far from ‘working tirelessly to promote unity’ as asserted by the majority in this resolution.”

She noted, “The resolution introduced in the House to honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy is not about healing, lowering the temperature of our political discourse, or even ensuring the safety of members of Congress, staff, and Capitol personnel. It is, unfortunately, an attempt to legitimize Kirk’s worldview — a worldview that includes ideas many Americans find racist, harmful, and fundamentally un-American.”

Ocasio-Cortez additionally addressed the attack on the First Amendment while extending prayers to Kirk’s family.
