An upcoming vote to honor conservative icon Charlie Kirk and condemn his assassination reportedly has House Democrats fuming that they’re “being totally set up.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson introduced the resolution, and it has been co-sponsored by 165 House Republicans. Zero Democrats signed on.

Kirk, 31, was the target of leftist political violence when he was assassinated during a speaking event in Utah last week.

Axios reports, “Kirk was not beloved by Democrats, but some in the party fear that anything short of a unanimous vote for the resolution could be a messaging coup for Republicans.”

“People are worried that we’re being totally set up,” a House Democrat told Axios on the condition of anonymity.

The report added, “The lawmaker noted that a bipartisan resolution condemning the shootings of Democratic state lawmakers in Minnesota passed the House 424 to 0 in June.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries reportedly told House Democrats that leadership will be voting in favor of the resolution during a closed-door meeting on Thursday.

However, Jeffries reportedly said he will not be whipping votes for it either, meaning that lawmakers will be free to decide to vote for or against it on their own.

Trashy Rep. Jasmine Crockett has said she will vote against the bill, telling Axios she is “not sure what is honorable” about Kirk’s views.

Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin is urging people to vote in favor, calling it an “obvious political trap,” according to a report from Reuters.

“We cannot fall for that obvious political trap and should rise above it,” Raskin said. “It is essential that we come together as Americans to condemn each and every episode of political violence.”

The resolution states in part:

“Charlie Kirk personified the values of the First Amendment, exercising his God-given right to speak free ly, challenge prevailing narratives, and did so with honor, courage, and respect for his fellow Americans.”

“Charlie Kirk’s commitment to civil discussion and debate stood as a model for young Americans across the political spectrum, and he worked tirelessly to promote unity without compromising on conviction.”

“The assassination of Charlie Kirk was not only a heinous act of violence, but a sobering reminder of the grow ing threat posed by political extremism and hatred in our society.”

We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR – BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!! President DJT

A diverse group of lawmakers engaged in a congressional hearing, with individuals focused on their devices and discussions in a formal setting.

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) had to be woken up by a staffer on Wednesday morning during a congressional hearing.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Epstein files, fatal shootings of two anti-ICE agitators and more.

Nadler fell asleep just minutes into Wednesday’s hearing.

A staffer walked over to Nadler and woke him up.

WATCH:

Later on during the hearing, Nadler and Bondi got into a shouting match over Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.

“How many [co-conspirators] have you indicted?” Nadler asked Bondi.

“Excuse me! I’m going to answer!” Bondi said.

“Answer my question!” Nadler demanded.

“I’m gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous,” Bondi said.

“Chairman Jordan, I’m not gonna get into the gutter with these people,” Bondi said.

Bondi and Nadler continued to talk over each other until Chairman Jim Jordan intervened.

According to the Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left nine dead and at least 25 more injured.

According to police, the sole suspect, described as a “gunperson’ wearing a dress, was found dead inside the school from “a self-inflicted injury.”

Per CNN:

Police found six people dead and dozens injured when they arrived at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of just 2,400 people in northeast British Columbia, early on Tuesday afternoon. Another person died en route to hospital, police said.

The alleged shooter, who was found dead at the school with a self-inflicted injury, is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township

Two victims were airlifted from the school to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. And about 25 other people were also being treated at a local medical center, police said.

Fox News reported that Superintendent Ken Floyd, North District Commander, said in a statement,  “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response.”

“Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.”

Juno News, an independent outlet in Canada, claims to have spoken with someone connected to the suspected shooter’s family who says the suspect was trans and used “she/her” pronouns, but authorities have not confirmed the claim.

The Guardian reported that the police have identified the shooter, but didn’t publicly release their identity due to the integrity of the investigation.

The shooter’s identity, any potential connections to groups, and motivations remain under investigation.
