You know what used to make America special? When bad things happened, we all stood together. Didn’t matter if you were red or blue—we had each other’s backs. That whole “united we stand” thing actually meant something.

But here’s the thing. That idea only works when both sides play by the same rules. A vote in Congress last week just proved exactly how selective Democrats have become with their sympathy. And the numbers? They don’t lie.

The House voted on a resolution to honor conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Simple stuff, right? Just condemning political violence and honoring someone’s life. But get this—Democrats completely fractured. Only 95 voted yes. A whopping 58 voted no. Another 38 took the chicken’s way out and voted “present.” Meanwhile? Every single Republican voted yes. Every. Single. One.

A Tale of Two Tragedies

Now here’s what really gets me. Just a few months back, when Minnesota Democrats faced violence, the House voted 424-0 to condemn it. Republicans didn’t play games. They didn’t whine about the language. They just did the right thing.

Rep. Nancy Mace from South Carolina spelled it out perfectly. And I mean, you can’t argue with this:

From ‘Rep. Nancy Mace’s statement’:

When Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered, and State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were wounded, the U.S. House unanimously passed a resolution condemning the attack and political violence. But after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, 58 Democrats voted against denouncing political violence. Every House Republican voted to condemn the attack against the Democrat lawmakers in Minnesota. This is why Democrats continue to lose.

Think about that for a second. When their people get hurt, Democrats expect everyone to stand together. When our people get hurt? They can’t even pretend to care.

Want to know how bad it got? Look at California’s Democrats. Out of 43 of them, only 21 could bring themselves to vote yes. Four straight-up opposed it. Seven didn’t even show up to vote. And eleven—eleven!—voted “present” like they were marking attendance in grade school.

Democrats Struggle to Explain

The excuses these people came up with? You can’t make this stuff up. AOC—of course it’s AOC—actually called Kirk “ignorant” and “uneducated” in her statement. While claiming to condemn violence! Can you believe that?

She said his beliefs “sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.” This is the same woman who tweets about love and unity every five minutes. But when it comes to actually showing respect to a conservative? Nope. Can’t do it.

Let me get this straight. Democrats who voted “present” basically admitted they knew voting no was wrong. But they still couldn’t vote yes. Rep. Doris Matsui claimed Republicans were “deepening division” by asking people to condemn violence. How does that even make sense?

Rep. Thompson said there were “provisions” in the resolution that troubled him. What provisions? The part where it called Kirk compassionate? The part where it mentioned his faith? These people will bend over backwards to avoid saying one nice thing about a conservative.

The Electoral Reckoning Ahead

Here’s what kills me. Rep. Greg Steube from Florida nailed it when he said Americans won’t forget this in 2026. He’s right. People are watching. They see who stands for basic decency and who doesn’t.

This isn’t just about one vote. It’s about what the Democrat Party has become. They preach tolerance all day long. They lecture us about compassion. They tell us we’re the hateful ones. But when push comes to shove? They can’t even condemn violence against people they disagree with.

Remember, every Republican voted to condemn attacks on Democrats. Every single one. No questions asked. No complaints about language. No voting “present” like cowards. They just did what was right.

But 58 Democrats looked at a resolution condemning political violence and said “no.” Another 38 couldn’t even pick a side. That tells you everything you need to know about where their priorities are.

As we head toward 2026, voters need to remember this moment. Remember who showed basic human decency and who didn’t. Remember who puts politics above principle. Because if Democrats can’t even agree that political violence is bad when it happens to conservatives, what else are they willing to excuse?

The party of “tolerance” just showed us exactly how much tolerance they really have. Zero. Unless you agree with them, you don’t even deserve basic respect. That’s not the America I grew up in. And come 2026, I’m betting it’s not the America most voters want either.

Key Takeaways

• Democrats split 58-95 on condemning violence against conservatives
• Every Republican voted to honor both Democrat and conservative victims
• AOC called Charlie Kirk “ignorant” while claiming to oppose violence
• This double standard could haunt Democrats in 2026 midterms
