Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) released the following statement on H.Res. 719 – Honoring the life and legacy of Charles “Charlie” James Kirk. 
 
“I have said for more than a decade we need to bring down the temperature and tone down the vitriol that’s been growing in our country.  This means unequivocally condemning political violence against anyone and everyone. I vehemently disagree with Charlie Kirk’s ideology, beliefs, and views, which were often divisive and cruel – but I voted in support of this resolution because his horrific killing, and this volatile time require all of us to reject violence, hate, and anger without hesitation. 
 
“I also strongly support Rep. Marc Veasey’s resolution condemning Kirk’s assassination and all forms of political violence and recognizing the victims of political violence in both parties. I hope we can come together in this moment to remember and stand up for the fundamental value of free speech, without which our country cannot exist.”
