Jasmine Crockett cries while falsely claiming Dems' response to Charlie Kirk killing 'wasn’t to pretend like it was okay'

Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed during a House Judiciary Committee meeting on Thursday that Democrats response in the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination wasn’t to "sit there and pretend like it was okay." The comment comes in the wake of the killing of Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot in Minneapolis on Wednesday after attacking an ICE agent with her vehicle.

Crockett said, "I remember when Charlie Kirk got killed. Do you? Do you remember what our response was? Our response wasn’t to sit there and pretend like it was okay. Is it okay because you have a badge? Because the last time that I checked, allegedly no one is above the law. Can y’all not just have a little bit of courage and humanity?" She added, in tears, "A child," before trailing off. 

Many of her colleagues on the left, however, were seen celebrating or mocking Kirk’s killing. Many also placed blame on the Trump administration for "rhetoric" that they claim resulted in the assassination. 

In Washington State, the Yakima County Democrats posted, then deleted, a Facebook message that appeared to mock Kirk’s death. "Blah blah blah Charlie Kirk hmm hmm hmm radicalized nada nada nada facists," the post stated, which drew outrage from residents. 

Undercover footage of an Abigail Spanberger campaign organizer showed the woman laughing and rolling her eyes while discussing Kirk’s murder. During the conversation, Maame Ama Deegbe said "Can I say the same for Charlie" when a man told her "you seem like a good person." Spanberger, the Democrat candidate, ultimately ended up winning the race for Virginia governor. 

At October’s "No Kings" protests across the country, held a little over a month after Kirk’s murder, attendees were seen dressing up like the suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, and mimicking the moment Kirk was shot in the neck, for laughs.

Democrat lawmakers and pundits, including MSNBC’s Jen Psaki and Senator Elizabeth Warren, claimed that "rhetoric" coming from the Trump administration was "problematic." In response to being asked in Democrats should stop referring to Republicans as "Nazis," Warren said "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the President of the United States? And every ugly meme he has posted, and every ugly word."

Crockett herself attempted to characterize sRobinson as being "MAGA" just days after Kirk’s death. Robinson had been in a relationship with his transgender roommate, and those who knew him, including his own mother, said that he had swung to the left politically over the years leading up to the shooting. 

Crockett also attempted to place blame with Republicans for the shooting, saying, "But when we look at it, please tell me who is fostering this gun culture, right? I mean, the average person on the left probably couldn't make a shot from 200 yards because they haven't been playing with assault rifles since they were a little kid. Like, that is just the reality of how people on the left typically work." 

She further accused Republicans of hypocrisy: "It seems like violence is okay if it is only because the man that is currently serving in the White House asked for it...But then, when it ends up happening and it comes back on the other side, they claim that it's because of the Democrats and them using words like 'fascist.'"

The House attempted, but failed, to censor Rep Ilhan Omar after she criticized Kirk’s record, claiming that Kirk had “downplayed slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth shouldn’t exist,” and rejected portrayals of him as merely a promoter of civil debate. She later wrote amid criticism, "While I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I don’t wish violence on anyone." 

A little over a week after the failed censor attempt, Omar told CNN in regards to the lawmaker posting a video that referred to Kirk as "Dr. Frankenstein," "What I find jarring is that there’s so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they’re willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress, honoring his life and legacy. It is one thing to care about his life, because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife."

"I am not going to sit here, and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind, that should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day," she said.
