The house adopted a decision to honor the “life and legacy” of Kirk on Friday, a few weeks after a fire and kill him during an event speaking on a university campus in Utah.

“I swear to the constitution very seriously. I believe in freedom of expression and that the first amendment will not be necessary if it is supposed to cover the language we agreed on,” Sherrill said in a statement. “It is supposed to protect people like Charlie Kerk who present views opposing the message. But it is also supposed to protect teachers, doctors and comedians who may express opinions that the president does not like.

“Charlie Kerk was defending a Christian national government and retracted women’s and black rights. This fly in the face of all the value of its dearest and I am fighting for it.” “But the constitution protects freedom of expression, even for those I strongly oppose.”

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

She said: “On the one hand, he condemned the killing of Kirk with political motives, while on the other hand, he incites a charming chase that Joseph McCarthy deserves to close the free speech rights of anyone who does not agree on Kirk’s racist views and anti -America.”
