Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday to address criticism over her vote against a House resolution honoring Kirk’s legacy and her refusal to offer sympathy for the late Turning Point USA founder.

During the interview, Crockett described Kirk as a racist bigot who, she claimed, targeted people who did not look like him. She also criticized fellow Democrats who supported the resolution.

“The rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color,” Crockett falsely claimed. “So it is unfortunate that even our colleagues cannot see how harmful his rhetoric was, specifically to us (people of color).”

Crockett explained her reasons for voting against the resolution. Along with her disapproval of his politics, she was also upset that Kirk had the audacity to criticize her.

“And I can tell you that a month prior to him passing away…He was talking negatively about me, directly,” she continued. “So, if there was anyone I was going to honor, somebody who decided they were just going to negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the ‘Great White Replacement,’ yeah, I’m not going to honor that kind of stuff.
