A yelling match broke out within the Home chamber Wednesday after Speaker Mike Johnson requested a prayer on behalf of Charlie Kirk.

The conservative activist and Turning Level USA founder was shot and killed throughout an occasion for his “America Comeback Tour” at Utah Valley College Wednesday.

After Johnson paused a vote to request a second of silence for Kirk and his household, GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado equally instructed that everybody take part in a prayer.

“Silent prayers get silent results,” she mentioned. 

And whereas conservatives mourn Kirk’s demise, Democrats have been fast to name out the discrepancy between Republicans’ response to final week’s college capturing in Minnesota and the capturing of Kirk. 

GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida shortly jumped in when Democrats identified the change of coronary heart, shouting expletives throughout the ground. 

“You fucking caused this,” she yelled.


Charlie Kirk palms out hats earlier than talking at Utah Valley College on Sept. 10.

To Democrats, the fitting’s sympathetic response to Kirk’s homicide appears to reek of irony after a few of them used the Minnesota capturing to marketing campaign towards transgender folks and to level fingers on the left.

Emmer additionally attacked Walz for making Minnesota a trans refuge state.

And whereas outstanding right-wing influencers—like Kirk—pushed the narrative that the Minnesota shooter’s gender id drove them to violence, Home Democrats are stating Republicans’ change in method this time round.

As of Wednesday, it isn’t but clear what the shooter’s motive was for killing Kirk. Nonetheless, responses to Kirk’s demise have invoked loads of blame as Republicans shortly labelled—with out proof—the shooter as a violent Democrat. The suspect has not but been recognized.

Simply earlier than her shouting match on the Home flooring, Luna blamed the left for the capturing.

“I am done with the rhetoric this rotten House and corrupt media has caused. EVERY DAMN ONE OF YOU WHO CALLED US FASCISTS DID THIS,” she wrote on X. “You were too busy doping up kids, cutting off their genitals, inciting racial violence by supporting orgs that exploit minorities, protecting criminals, and stirring hate. Your words caused this. Your hate caused this.”

She later doubled down on her assertion whereas chatting with reporters.

“Stop with the rhetoric. You’re getting people killed. You’re gonna get one of us killed, too, while you continue doing it,” she mentioned.

In distinction, Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, a Marines Corps veteran, referred to as for an finish to political violence in his response to the capturing.

“Beyond politics Charlie Kirk was someone’s father, husband and son,” he wrote on X. “Remember that first, before engaging in whataboutism. His family will never be the same. Political violence has to stop by all sides.”

The final capturing of a outstanding political determine was in June, when two Democratic Minnesota state lawmakers—Minnesota Home Speaker Melissa Hortman and state Sen. John Hoffman—and their spouses have been shot of their properties. Hortman and her husband, Mark, have been each killed.

What Walz referred to as a “politically motivated assassination” on the time was equally used as a automobile for finger-pointing. 

In a since-deleted tweet, GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah referred to as the tragedy a “nightmare on Waltz street”—a misspelled reference to the Minnesota governor.

Whereas the impacts of gun violence weigh closely no matter victims’ political affiliation, one message appears to be rising by all of it: A violent rhetoric is emanating throughout get together strains, and one thing must be carried out about it.
