Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was one of 58 Democrats who voted ‘Nay’ on a resolution to recognize “Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez read a series of damning Charlie Kirk quotes on the House floor Friday afternoon after the passage of a resolution to mark Oct. 14, 2025 as “Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day.” The resolution states Americans should use the day to remember the slain MAGA influencer—who was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while speaking during an event at Utah Valley University—as someone devoted to “strengthening public discourse, defending constitutional principles, and fostering active citizenship.” However, Ocasio-Cortez argued this was a “whitewashing” of Kirk and his agenda.
