A new video highlights reactions from Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib following the murder of Charlie Kirk, showing leading progressive figures focusing not on condemning political violence, but on attacking Kirk’s record, rhetoric and legacy.
In the clip, Omar says she does not want to “honor any legacy,” while Ocasio-Cortez speaks against Kirk’s “rhetoric and beliefs.” Tlaib is shown making a blunt statement as part of the same montage.
