Tennessee GOP Pushes Charlie Kirk Day. Justin Jones Pulls Racist Receipts In Brutal Hearing. Tennessee Republicans move to honor Charlie Kirk with a state day — but in a stunning committee hearing, Rep. Justin Jones reads Kirk’s own statements into the record, igniting outrage over the proposal. A Tennessee legislative hearing erupted after Republicans pushed a resolution to create a “Charlie Kirk Day.” Democratic lawmakers pushed back forcefully, arguing that honoring Kirk ignores a record of inflammatory rhetoric and divisive statements. Representative Justin Jones read several of Kirk’s own remarks during the hearing, challenging the effort to elevate him with a state honor and sparking a fierce debate about race, history, and political accountability in Tennessee.

They know exactly what type of person Charlie Kirk was. They just want to capitalize off his death.

This is absolutely ridiculous. What did Charlie do to be recognized and honored with his own day?
