Florida Democrat claims Charlie Kirk ‘was not assassinated’ as GOP pushes remembrance day billA Florida Democratic state representative said Wednesday during a floor debate that conservative activist Charlie Kirk wasn’t truly assassinated.”He was not assassinated. And words being accurate matters. It was a death by gun violence,” Democratic state Rep. Ashley Viola Gantt said. “That is an issue here in the country that we should all be on the same page with addressing.”Gantt and her colleagues were debating House Bill 125, titled “Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance,” which would designate Kirk’s birthday, Oct. 14, each year as a day of remembrance for the slain activist.”We want to talk about exercising free speech. Let’s ball,” she said during the Florida House session. “So, the First Amendment protects free speech. We don’t need this day of remembrance for a man that was mediocre and racist. And I say mediocre at best. He was not a Floridian. He had no ties to Florida other than owning property.”Kirk, the 31-year-old founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on Sept. 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University during his American Comeback Tour.Kirk was a prominent figure in the conservative movement and widely credited by supporters for his key role in President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory.He founded Turning Point USA in 2012 at age 18, and his assassination, a term widely acknowledged as appropriate for his killing given Kirk’s prominence in politics, rocked the country.Gantt said Kirk was “divisive” and undeserving of the proposed honor.
