Democrats Line Up w/ National Hate Fest in Kirk’s Memory: No Protection for our Free Speech and Diversity of Opinions on Kirk!
US Congress has overwhelmingly endorsed a celebration of the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and a day of remembrance. Look it up on google – FightBackBetter is not advertising the date unless there is a counter event on that date.
The resolutions have a long lists of glowing descriptions of Kirk and nothing about his sordid support for all sorts of fascism, hate, genocide, harm to LGBT, celebration of victimization and murder by police, support for ICE terror and “replacement theory” and a long host of falsehoods and no mention of the attacks on free speech resulting from his demise. We are not amplifying the glowing description of Kirk in the resolution either – you can look that up too! We do include NJ Rep. AOC’s dissent.
The vote in the US Senate was unanimous so presumably that includes NJ’s Booker and Kim and the following NJ House Democratic Party representative voted YAY to the fascist celebration: NJ Gubernatorial Dem candidate Rep. Sherrill and and NJ Dem Representatives Gottheimer, Pallone and Pou.
Here are some media reports on the resolutions.

House Roll Call
There was nothing in these MAGA sponsored bills that the Democrats are tripping over each other to support about protecting free speech rights and respect for diversity of opinion on Charlie KIrk and the rights to make factual statements as well as opinion statements and the right to quote Kirk accurately. All of these activities are resulting in people getting fired, doxxed, reported to their work bosses, smeared and the Democrats have nothing to say about any of it – about protecting us from fascist repression. They join in glowing resolutions about a hater who promoted Replacement Theory , stoning LGBT, ICE terror, slaughter in Gaza (and Turning Point’s rise was financed heavily by pro-Israel donors encouraged by David Horowitz), attacks on Blacks and Latinos , celebrated when people were killed by police – all of it. The Democrats ovewhelimngly lauded him as some sort of hope that they will attract a single MAGA vote out of the deal.
Instead the Democrats support for this national day of hate is a capitulation. They are not only avoiding supporting our right to say what we want and need to say about Kirk. Our survival depends on ONLY TELLING THE TRUTH ALWAYS and these bills are full of lies about KIrk. The Democrats have adopted a false narrative and in so doing have indeed endorsed the campaign of hate and fascism and repression toward our free speech rights being led by MAGA – they are ducking for cover while we are taking the blows: KImmel, (name a few), teachers, professionals of all srots and workers losing jobs because they do not bend their knee and plant their kiss on fascist boots of KIrk. I am getting a whiff of the smell of the social democrats who submitted to the Chancellor’s rise in 1933.
They are honoring a legacy of hatred and totally leaving their base at the mercy of rising fascism which is escalated by their subservience of this vote passage!
The following is some commentary from readers:
This is what political violence is about. It is political violence when the duopoly, or I should call them the UNIPARTY, care more about someone whose mission was to spread hatred than what’s going on to their citizens and constituents from which they got elected. They care more about a person whose job was to brainwash young people and normalizado school shootings than about the thousands of children abused, starved and killed in Palestine – Lily Benavides, Write-In candidate for Governor for Green Party NJ who ran against Sherrill for Congress in 2024.
