Nancy Pelosi, whose husband Paul was the victim to political violence, was among 22 Democrats who walked out of Kirk [View all]

Repugs have made Charlie Kirk an OFFICIAL Martyr IMHO.
It must have been a sad day for Nancy Pelosi
And nothing mentioned in this article about slain MN lawmaker

.............House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Thursday that the House of Representative will "soon pass a resolution honoring the life and legacy of our friend Charlie Kirk, and condemning the political violence that led to his untimely passing."

On Friday, the House also approved the resolution, despite 96 Democrats declining to support it.

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose husband Paul was the victim to political violence himself, was among the 22 Democrats who walked out without voting on the Kirk resolution, but did vote on the short-term government funding bill. Four Republicans also skipped the vote.
