Senate declares Oct. 14 a ‘National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk’ with unanimous resolution
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., led the passage of a resolution to be observed on Charlie Kirk’s birthday. ABC pulled late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely over comments about the alleged Kirk assassin, Tyler Robinson.
Kimmel called the alleged assassin a MAGA Republican when in fact he was a Liberal Democrat from a Rainbow Community. His boy/girlfriend was transistioning

2 people arrested as hundreds gather for Charlie Kirk vigil in Boston
Two people were arrested on Thursday at a vigil in Boston for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as hundreds honored the Turning Point USA co-founder and advocated against political violence.
Joseph Antuan Castro Del Rio, 38, was arrested on disorderly conduct charges, according to WCVB. A juvenile male was also arrested on assault and battery charges, as well as a charge for possession of a dangerous weapon, as police said he had a knife at the time of the arrest.
A group of protesters was separated from the crowd of Kirk supporters by metal barriers, leading to some shouting, the outlet reported. The event was guarded by police who were stationed on the ground and on top of the statehouse.
Several attendees of the vigil condemned political violence in the wake of Kirk’s murder last week in Utah.
“Political violence is never okay. You can agree to disagree. Ending someone’s life is never okay,” Samantha DiGiacomo said at the event, according to WCVB.
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., called out Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., on Thursday after she referred to Republicans as fascists eight days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
“I think it’s really important we need to stand up against this fascist takeover, that’s not a bad word, it’s a fact, and here in DC and across the country, it is so incredibly important, Mr. Chair, that this committee does not allow rhetoric that defames or paints Washington D.C. in a way that you all haven’t really truly seen,” Tlaib said, continuing to speak after her time expired.
Donalds asked if she would yield to a question during her remarks, to which she responded no and said she didn’t have time. The exchange ultimately got very heated, with some of Tlaib’s remarks becoming inaudible as she began yelling over Donalds.
“Chairman, I think it’s insane that the gentlelady doesn’t have an argument but she’s going to refer to me and some of my colleagues like we are from the Third Reich. It’s insane,” Donalds said, in part.
“I think it’s radical and I think it’s insane,” he continued. “To say something like that to myself and to my colleagues is way out of line. It’s way out of line.”

@RepDonaldsPress
It’s been 8 days since a leftist assassin shot my friend @charliekirk11. Just now, Rashida Tlaib just called us “FASCIST” again. This rhetoric is WRONG. This rhetoric is UNHINGED. This rhetoric is OUT-OF-LINE. This rhetoric has INSPIRED MURDER. WE WILL NOT STAND TO BE DEFAMED.
