(DC Pundit) – Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has made it crystal clear why she voted against a resolution honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Appearing on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’, Crockett said she refused to support the measure because Kirk, in her view, “specifically targeted people of color.”
Host Dana Bash pressed her on the issue, noting that 58 Democrats opposed the resolution. Crockett was among them. When asked to explain her decision, she replied, “Absolutely. You know what? One of the things I do want to point out that’s not been laid out, that honestly hurts my heart, is when I saw the no votes, there were only two caucasians. For the most part, the only people that voted no were people of color. Because the rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out, there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color. And so it is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was, specifically to us.”
Crockett doubled down, adding, “I’m not honoring that kind of stuff, especially as a civil rights attorney and understanding how I got to Congress, knowing that there were people that died, people that were willing to die, that worked to make sure that voices like mine could exist in this place.”
Imagine going on television the same day as someone’s funeral to bash them.

Let’s be clear, Charlie Kirk wasn’t some fringe figure in the conservative movement. He was the founder of Turning Point USA, an organization that built its reputation on challenging the left’s stranglehold on college campuses and exposing the failures of progressivism. Kirk was unapologetic, especially when it came to defending free speech, calling out identity politics, and pointing to the glaring failures of Democrat-led policies in minority communities. To many on the left, that kind of truth-telling is apparently considered “targeting.”
The fact that 58 Democrats voted against honoring Kirk, even in death, speaks volumes about the mindset of today’s Democratic Party. Respecting political opponents used to be a bipartisan value, but not anymore. Crockett’s comments reveal exactly where the modern left stands: if you disagree with their worldview, you’re automatically labeled harmful, dangerous, or racist. That label then justifies erasing your contributions entirely, even when a resolution is meant simply to acknowledge your life and work.

Charlie Kirk’s legacy is one of building a massive conservative grassroots movement, energizing young Republicans, and pushing back against the toxic ideology that the left tries to pass off as compassion. Kirk made an impact that millions of Americans respect. Crockett and her colleagues may not have wanted to recognize that, but their refusal only shows just how deep the partisan divide has become.
