Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez harshly
criticized conservative activist Charlie Kirk shortly after his death, as his
family prepares for his burial this weekend. In a message shared on social media
and in public statements, Ocasio-Cortez said:
"We must be clear about who Charlie Kirk was... His
rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise
millions of Americans."
The statement comes amid growing political polarization in
the United States, where Kirk, founder of the Turning Point USA organization,
has sparked heated debates due to his conservative positions and influence
among young voters. Ocasio-Cortez's statement reflects the persistent tension
between progressive and conservative figures in the country's political and
media landscape.
Kirk's family has confirmed that the funeral will be held
this weekend in Illinois and has called for respect for the loss. Meanwhile,
the congresswoman's comments have generated mixed reactions on social media and
in the media, with Kirk's supporters defending his legacy and critics
celebrating Ocasio-Cortez's candor in addressing the impact of her speech.
