She declared House Republicans reckless for bringing forth a bill she said was meant to further divide Americans at such a delicate time in the country's history.

"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.'"
A House vote rejected a GOP-backed resolution honoring Charlie Kirk and condemning political violence by a 310-58 margin, with 95 Democrats supporting the measure. Concerns were raised that the resolution sought to deepen partisan divisions and to whitewash Kirk's record of racially and religiously disparaging rhetoric, including statements opposing the Civil Rights Act, applauding an assailant, and alleging Jewish control of cultural institutions. The resolution was described as causing pain for those who endured segregation and Jim Crow, while condolences were expressed for Kirk's wife and children amid national tensions and retaliatory rhetoric from administration figures.
