After much backroom maneuvering, the final vote on the resolution honoring Kirk was moved from Thursday to Friday, Sept. 18. For members of the Congressional Black Caucus, the vote is in no way a casual action on a boilerplate resolution. Charlie Kirk was known for critical comments on Black people and communities and targeted several Black women with negative comments, implying that they were successful only because of affirmative action. After a lengthy Democratic Caucus on the morning of September 18, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries listened to the concerns of members of his caucus. After the meeting, Black Press USA asked Leader Jeffries if he was whipping the vote and what he would vote. The Leader from Brooklyn gave no direct answers. “Members will vote their conscious. We will issue a statement shortly,” Leader Jeffries said flatly.
