Jasmine Crockett scolds white Dems for not voting against Charlie Kirk resolution: ‘Hurt my heart’

Firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett scolded her white Democratic peers for declining to vote against a resolution honor the legacy of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, which was adopted Friday.

Crockett (D-Texas) grumbled that there were only “two caucasians” who voted against the resolution, which passed with support from 215 Republicans and 95 Democrats. A sizable 58 Democrats voted no and another 64 voted present or didn’t show up.

“One of the things that I want to point out that’s not been laid out that honestly hurt my heart is when I saw the no votes — there were only two caucasians,” Crockett complained on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.

“For the most part, the only people that voted no were people of color.”

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

Multiple Dem lawmakers from diverse backgrounds voted for the resolution, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
