“I take the oath to the constitution seriously. I believe in freedom of expression and that the first amendment would not be necessary if it was only intended to cover the language with which we agree,” Sherrill said in a press release. “It is intended to protect people like Charlie Kirk who have dissident opinions. But it is also intended to protect teachers, doctors and television actors who can express points of view that the president does not like.

“Charlie Kirk argued for a Christian nationalist government and to ensure that the rights of women and blacks.” But the Constitution protects freedom of expression, even for those who vehemently oppose. “

In addition, the legislator said that President Donald Trump continues to “define hypocrisy”.

“On the one hand, he denounced Kirk’s political motivation murder, while on the other hand, he invites a witch hunt worthy of Joseph McCarthy to close the rights to the freedom of expression of anyone who does not agree with the racist and anti-American opinions of Kirk,” she said.

While condemning the murder of Kirk, she said that she would continue to “condemn political violence, racism, attacks against women and hypocrisy from Trump and his acolytes”.

Sherrill was criticized by the Republicans for having adopted Zohran Mamdani, a socialist who is the Democratic candidate for the elections of the New York 2025 town hall.

“It is not so difficult to disavow socialism, and the official comments of Mikie Sherrill saying that she shares the objectives of the socialist Zohran Mamdani is not only absurd, but it is disqualifying. Period. Very stop,” said Courtney Alexander, director of communications of the association of governors of the Republicans, in June.

“This should alarm the new Jerseyans that Mikie Sherrill, in her words, wants to” throw the old play book “and” share his voters “.
