The Democrat of the Chamber criticizes the reactions partisan at the assassination of Charlie Kirk

EXCLUSIVE: A Moderate Chamber Democrat said he believed that the Republicans and his own party failed in their responses to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

“I am disappointed. I hope there are more efforts as a group, Democrats and Republicans, to express his condolences for his family and for him, and to express the real sadness he generates,” said representative Tom Suozzi, Dn.y., to Fox News Digital in an interview.

He warned later: “Punch, the counterpart is the natural reaction of most human beings. But we cannot continue to do this. It is very destructive, and it is a route of ruin.”

Suozzi said he believed that leaders, in particular, on both sides of the aisle should do more.

“I don’t think there was enough effort to try to bring us together,” he said.

The New York legislator was one of the democrats who attended a commemorative vigil in honor of Kirk called by the president of the Mike Johnson Chamber, R-La., At the American Capitol on Monday.

Hakeem Jeffries, Dn.y.’s minority head, told journalists that he had not attended because he had “had a meeting”.

But Suozzi said he had spoken with several Democrats in the Chamber who said they just didn’t know that it happened.

“I do not blame anyone, democrats or republicans. I do not know the facts with regard to the type of awareness,” said Suozzi.

“I know that I spoke to several members, you know, (Democrats) that I know who attend the Bipartisan prayer breakfast, for example. And they said:” Oh, I didn’t even know. “”

Jeffries and Johnson appealed to unity following the murder of Kirk last week, and the legislators expressed a bipartite condemnation of political violence.

But the partisan tensions have since expressed the Republicans since then, the Democrats blame for their anti-gop rhetoric and to foment the political tension that led to the death of Kirk.

The Democrats, in turn, accused the Republicans of having ignited tensions before and after the assassination.

In the room, control was centered on representative Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., After an interview with the progressive media Zeteo, where the conservatives accused him of disparaging Kirk’s inheritances after his death.

“There are many people who talk about him who just want to have a civilian debate,” said Omar. “There is nothing more erased, you know, than to completely pretend that, you know, its words and actions have not been recorded and existing in the last decade.”

The gradual of Minnesota also called the death of Kirk “mortifying” and expressed his condolences for his wife and young children.

The representative Nancy Mace, RS.C., is now evolving to force a vote to censor Omar for her comments, a suozzi decision called “very useless”.

Asked about Omar’s remarks, Suozzi did not mention it directly but said: “I Do not think it’s time to try to encourage more anger for people. “”

If he could make remarks during the Kirk vigil, for example, Suozzi said: “I would say that I didn’t really know Charlie Kirk or many about this incident. But like everyone else, I saw all the media reports since his assassination, and I saw people ask:` `What would you like to remember? ”. remember having had the courage to live my faith ”.

“One of the most difficult concepts that Jesus has ever had to love your enemies,” said Suozzi. “And that’s what we have to do right now.”

Suozzi also blamed the current environment of social media to fuel divisions.

“We must understand that there are very strong forces that work against us at the moment. Social media are, you know, be corrupt, I think, not only by our foreign opponents, but also by people who try to obtain a political or financial gain,” he said.

“I think we have to be very aware of the fact that there are people who use our freedom of expression and use our social media … who lie and put tampered videos and explosive comments to bring us … to hate each other.”
