Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Friday opposed a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated Sept. 10 during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University.In a speech on the House floor, Ocasio-Cortez claimed the resolution was introduced on a "purely partisan basis, instead of uniting Congress."After condemning Kirk's murder, she noted the resolution "brings great pain to the millions of Americans who endured segregation, Jim Crow and the legacy of bigotry today" and tore into the late 31-year-old's ideology."We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was, a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a mistake, who, after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, claimed that some amazing patriot' should bail out his brutal assailant and accused Jews of controlling not just the colleges its the nonprofits, its the movies, its Hollywood, its all of it,'" Ocasio-Cortez said.58 HOUSE DEMS VOTE AGAINST RESOLUTION HONORING 'LIFE AND LEGACY' OF CHARLIE KIRK"His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans far from the working tirelessly to promote unity as asserted by the majority in this resolution."The resolution described Kirk as a "devoted Christian," "dedicated husband" and a "loving father" of two, explaining his founding of Turning Point USA and commending his personification of the First Amendment.It resolved the House of Representatives to condemn Kirk's assassination and all forms of political violence; commended law enforcement for catching Kirk's alleged killer; extended condolences to Kirk's family; honored Kirk's life, leadership and legacy; and called upon all Americans regardless of race, party affiliation or creed to "reject political violence, recommit to respectful debate, uphold American values, and respect one another as fellow Americans."FEARLESS TOUR TAKES CHARLIE KIRKS FREE SPEECH MISSION TO COLLEGES NATIONWIDEIn addition to Ocasio-Cortez, 57 other Democrats voted against the resolution, including Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Maxine Waters of California.However, 95 Democrats voted to adopt the resolution, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif.Here is a breakdown of public comments Kirk made regarding the topics Ocasio-Cortez mentioned in her dissent.During a Feb. 2, 2024, podcast episode with "Fearless" host Jason Whitlock, Kirk acknowledged his ideas about the Civil Rights Act and its role in American society were "provocative," thanking Whitlock for the opportunity to further explain."It's an awful provocative conversation I started. I stand by it, and I appreciate the opportunity. I mean this sincerely, Jason to explain it. There's even some people on the right that have been just throwing insults, and they would never have me on the show to explain it."Kirk went on to say he extensively researched what the Civil Rights Act was, what it tried to accomplish, how it was sold to the American people at the time and how it is perceived now by the modern academic consensus."At the time, of course, there were legislative priorities that needed to be done by the federal government to stop bitter segregation I've always held that," Kirk said. "The American people thought they were getting minor legislative adjustments to say that segregation based on race is evil and wrong. In reality, what they got was the birthing of a permanent deep state of bureaucrats that were looking for racism where it didn't exist, eventually with affirmative action, quotas and hiring practices expanded beyond race into LGBTQ-type issues."What the Civil Rights era really birthed was this idea that it's the federal government's job not just to say that discrimination is wrong, but to actively go against any sort of disparate outcome and try to even the score under the guise of equity."ANTI-TRUMP VOICES PRAISE CHARLIE KIRK'S LEGACY AFTER ASSASSINATION, SAY HE WAS DOING POLITICS 'THE RIGHT WAY'Kirk went on to discuss Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech, saying he "100% bought into" the need for equality, but adding he believed the Civil Rights Act was expanded further than the initial intention."At the time, a majority of Americans wanted to see an end to desegregation," he said. "They didn't want to see new segregation put forward in eventually anti-White hiring practices, affirmative action or the entire federal bureaucracy having racial hiring quotas."Eventually, you look around and you have the left defending Black-only dormitories at hundreds of universities across the country, Black-only graduation ceremonies. You look back to the Civil Rights Act and you say maybe we overreached and built something we didn't intend, a federal Leviathan in the form of anti-racism."WATCH: CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE FULL PODCAST EPISODEIn an Oct. 31, 2022, episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show," titled "A Naked Smear of MAGA," Kirk discussed the Oct. 28, 2022, attack against Nancy Pelosi's husband, saying directly, "I'm not qualifying it, I think it's awful."David DePape, a Canadian citizen living in the U.S., was sentenced to life in prison in 2024 after attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer, causing two head wounds and injuries to his right arm and hand.DePape, who Kirk described in the episode as someone who was "not sane," admitted to devising a plot to hold then-Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hostage and "break her kneecaps" if she did not admit to allegedly telling "lies" about the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. She was not home at the time of the attack.Kirk's comments about "bailing out" DePape were in relation to the concept of disparity within cashless bail policies.Under cashless bail policies, a suspect who is arrested for a crime is released before a trial without having to pay bail or bond. The fees were put in place to ensure suspects do not flee and incentivize them to make scheduled court appearances.While many liberal jurisdictions have enacted the policies, critics claim cashless bail puts the public at risk and enables repeat offenders."Im not qualifying [the attack], I think its awful," Kirk said. "Its not right. But why is it that, in Chicago, youre able to commit murder and be out the next day? Why is it that youre able to trespass, second-degree murder, arson, threaten a public official, [and receive] cashless bail? This happens all over San Francisco, but if you go after the Pelosis youre [not] let out immediately. Got it."CHARLIE KIRK PAINTED AS 'CONTROVERSIAL,' 'PROVOCATIVE' IN MEDIAS ASSASSINATION COVERAGEKirk went on to question why DePape was still incarcerated in San Francisco, a Democratic stronghold that had cashless bail policies in place at the time of Paul Pelosi's attack.Just a few months prior to the assault, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced her office established a policy that would seek cash bail in certain misdemeanor cases, claiming bail "unfairly penalizes those with less financial means and disproportionately affects defendants of color.""Why is the conservative movement to blame for gay, schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry makers, breaking into somebody's home?" Kirk said while discussing DePape's ideology. "Why are we to blame for that exactly, and why is he still in jail. Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out. I bet his bail is like 30[,000] or 40,000 bucks. Bail him out and then go ask him some questions."WATCH: CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE FULL EPISODEKirk went on to wish Paul Pelosi a quick recovery and condemned the attack a second time."So, look, I wish him the best. I wish him a speedy recovery," Kirk said. "No one should have to encounter that sort of violence."In an Oct. 26, 2024, episode of the "The Charlie Kirk Show" podcast, Kirk claimed Jewish donors have been the No. 1 funding mechanism of radical, open-border neoliberal quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits."This is a beast created by secular Jews," Kirk said. "Now its coming for Jews, and theyre like, What on Earth happened? Its not just the colleges. Its the nonprofits, its the movies, its Hollywood, its all of it."Kirk, a longtime supporter of Israel, later argued in a Nov. 16, 2023, episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show," titled "Elon Musk Smashes the Digital Narratives," that some Jewish organizations and donors, including the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), helped fund "anti-White" or "cultural Marxist" ideas aligned with the Black Lives Matter movement or Diversity and Equity Inclusion (DEI).He noted he does not believe all Jewish people are anti-White, specifying that he did "not like generalizations.""I don't like generalizations," Kirk said in the episode. "Not every Jewish person believes that. But it is true the Anti-Defamation League was part and parcel with Black Lives Matter. It is true that some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-White causes have been Jewish Americans. They went all in on woke, and it wasn't just ADL. It was some of the top Jewish organizations in the country that have done that. In fact, we have seen this with the recent retreat of Jewish donations that are no longer going to be administered to colleges."Kirk added that, after the October episode, critics labeled him antisemitic, clarifying he was "glad that Jewish Americans are reconsidering their financing of cultural Marxism, and people misunderstood it intentionally and slandered us as being antisemites."While "Cultural Marxism" has been used as an antisemitic phrase, commentators have been known to use it without antisemitic intent.

Weeks after a man was found dead at the height of the Burning Man festival, authorities have released a crucial new piece of evidence.Vadim Kruglov, 37, a Russian national living in Tacoma, Washington, was discovered"lying in a pool of blood" on the night ofAug. 30, just as thousands of festivalgoers gathered for one of the events signature burns in Nevadas remote Black Rock Desert.The Pershing County Sheriffs Office has released new details about the suspected murder weapon, information authorities believe could be crucial in identifying and apprehending the suspect."It appears the injury was caused by a single stab wound to the victims neck," the sheriffs office said in its latest update.OTHER STRANGE EVENTS REPORTEDLY HAPPEN AT BURNING MAN AS POLICE HUNT A KILLERDeputies say they discovered a green kitchen knife next to the victims body, which investigators believe to be the murder weapon. A replica photo of the knife was released this week as part of a renewed effort to generate tips from the public.Officials said the attack occurred around 9:14 p.m., just as the towering wooden effigy was set ablaze, accompanied by fireworks, music and large crowds.

A presentation at a World Athletics panel in Tokyo on Friday revealed that 50 to 60 athletes with male biological advantages have been finalists in the female category at global and continental championships since 2000.The panel was led by the head of the World Athletics Health and Science Department, Dr. Stphane Bermon, who said sex tests were necessary because of an "over-representation" of DSD (differences of sex development) athletes among finalists, per multiple reports.Controversy over the issue in World Athletics arose when South Africa's Caster Semenya won Olympic gold in the 800 meters at the 2012 and 2016 Games. Then, at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Namibias Christine Mboma claimed silver in the 200 meters.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMWorld Athletics changed its policy in March 2023, excluding male-to-female transgender athletes who have gone through male puberty from women's competitions, prioritizing "fairness and integrity."Last October, the United Nations said nearly 900 biological females have fallen short of the podium because they were beaten by trans athletes.The findings were compiled by Reem Alsalem, the UN's rapporteur on violence against women and titled "Violence against women and girls in sports."The report said that more than 600 athletes did not medal in more than 400 competitions in 29 sports, totaling over 890 medals, according to information obtained as of March 30."The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males," the report said."This is huge, especially coming from the U.N.," OutKick contributor and "Gaines for Girls" host Riley Gaines told "Fox and Friends" Wednesday. "One girl being exploited in locker rooms, one girl being injured in their sport is one too many."INSIDE GAVIN NEWSOM'S TRANSGENDER VOLLEYBALL CRISISThe new president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Kirsty Coventry, addressed the topic of transgender athletes competing in women's sports at her first news conference since taking over in June and said that there is "overwhelming support" by IOC members to protect the female category."We understand that there'll be differences depending on the sport but it was very clear from the members that we have to protect the female category, first and foremost to ensure fairness," Coventry said."But we need to do that with a scientific approach and the inclusion of the international federations who have already done a lot of work in this area."The new president added that there is "unanimous" support for coming to an agreement about how to amend the policy and suggested the IOC may take inspiration from the World Athletics policy, which restricts biological males from competing in women's sports if those males have gone through male puberty."It was very clear from the membership the discussion around this has to be done with medical and scientific research at the core, so we are looking at the facts and the nuances and the inclusion of the international federations that have done so much of this work having a seat at table and sharing with us because every sport is different," she said."But it was pretty much unanimously felt that the IOC should take a leading role in bringing everyone together to try and find a broad consensus."However, Coventry also said any changes likely wouldn't result in retroactively changing the results of past competitions that featured athletes with gender-eligibility questions.The 2024 Paris Games featured two boxers winning gold in women's competition despite previously failing gender-eligibility tests for international competitions."We're not going to be doing anything retrospectively. We're going to be looking forward. From the members [it] was, What are we learning from the past, and how are we going to leverage that and move that forward to the future?"

Patrick Beverley never received NBA All-Star honors and hasn't played in the league in more than a calendar year. But the former Milwaukee Bucks player remains one of basketball's most outspoken voices.Atlanta Hawks guard and four-time All-Star Trae Young became Beverley's latest target of criticism. Beverley initially questioned the level of intensity some NBA players seemingly have during the league's annual All-Star Game. Beverley juxtaposed his theory with the perceived effort many of those same players put on display during open runs at gyms across the country during the offseason."Because All-Stars take the game for granted. Not 1 All-Star on the court. good bump," wrote on X last week.The message prompted a sharp response from Young, who instructed Beverley to "relax" and let players speak for themselves. A few days later, Beverley mentioned Young on an episode of "The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I don't think he's won enough to even speak to me like that or tweet me like that," Beverley said."He's been to the playoffs three times. I've been to the playoffs nine [times]. He's been in the NBA seven years. My first seven years I didn't miss the playoffs at all in the Western Conference," he said. "His rebuttal's probably going to be, 'Yeah you weren't the main player on the team.' Absolutely right. But this is why it's a team."Beverley also noted that he had conversations with former Hawks players who competed alongside Young. Beverley cited Young's alleged leadership issues when he mentioned that several of those athletes were not fond of playing in Atlanta.BUCKS' PATRICK BEVERLEY DISCUSSES HIS VIOLENT PASS INTO STANDS: 'SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED'"They don't think he's a good leader. They don't think he's a good teammate. ... Trae, you could score all the points you want," he said. "You could make all the money you want. You could have all the leading assists you want. You could do all that. If you don't win, that s--t won't matter. If you don't win, when you retire, they're going to forget your name. Fast, too."On Wednesday, Young took to his social media platform to address Beverley's comments. During the nearly 12-minute video, Young suggested Beverley "doesn't know what it's like" to be in his position.Young also demanded Beverley name the former teammates he claimed had issues during their time with the Hawks."State your source. Which teammate of mine told [you] that it's the Trae Hawks, it ain't the Atlanta Hawks?" Young said. "Because I would tell you myself, I have a lot of teammates I keep in touch with. A lot. A lot that I know you know. So I want you to state your source."Young also took aim at Beverley's emotional reaction to the Minnesota Timberwolves defeating the Los Angeles Clippers in a 2022 play-in tournament game. Beverley played for the Timberwolves that season, but wore a Clippers jersey in the four prior seasons."We not even gonna talk about how we celebrate play-in wins," he said. "I win play-in games on the road, and I'm ready to get to the playoffs. You win play-in games at home, and you standing on the scorer's table acting like it's a championship. We celebrate wins different, too."Young ended by stating he has "nothing but love" for Beverley and hinted he would be willing to talk to the former Bucks player.The Hawks social media team jumped into the fray by sharing a compilation video that highlighted Young scoring as Beverley played defense.Beverley added more fuel to the fire on Thursday by accusing Young of putting up "empty stats." Beverley also took aim at Young's abilities on the defensive end of the court."Humble yourself. Embrace the constructive criticism," Beverley said. "Get better at that and move the f--- on. We don't have to keep going back like this a motherf---g YouTube debate. Like it ain't that deep."Beverley continued to take jabs at Young's leadership and claimed the 27-year-old guard prefers working out away from the team facility. "Every time we see you, you're working out at another place. We never see you in the Hawks arena working out," he said.Beverley said he ultimately believes the exchanges could serve as a source of motivation for Young."Regardless how it goes, it's going to be good that comes out of this," Beverley said. "Regardless. I hope this is motivating. I hope that you get to the end of the year and you fighting for a motherf---ing playoff."Young averaged 25.3 points and 9.8 assists in seven career regular-season games against Beverley.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

We got massive numbers of youth, and by the way, helped very much by Charlie Kirk," he said, adding, "It probably had a pretty big effect on the election because we won the election by a lot."TPUSA INSIDER: ERIKA KIRK IS 'ABSOLUTE FORCE' READY TO GROW GROUP '10X' AFTER TRAGEDYThis comes as Trump has repeatedly delayed implementing a law passed by Congress in 2024 to ban TikTok in the U.S. unless it divests its ownership of U.S. operations from China to America.Following his negotiations with Jinping, Trump said TikToks U.S. operations will be "controlled by very powerful and very substantial American people, all American.""Its a great deal for our country. It's a great deal for all of the young people in the country and for people generally," he said.Trump acknowledged his initial opposition to TikTok, saying, "I wasn't a fan of TikTok, and then I got to use it, and I became a fan, and it helped me win the election in a landslide."WHITE HOUSE RELEASES VIDEO TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE KIRK"I had a great call with President Xi and, as you know, we approved the TikTok deal, and we're in the process. We have some great investors, some of the biggest in the world, American investors, great people, and we look forward to getting that deal closed," he said.Pressed on whether the deal is fully approved, Trump answered, "I think so. And when you say fully approved, I don't know what that means, we have to get it signed, I guess. I guess it could be a formality. I found his word to be very good.""They wanted to see it," he said of China, "and I can tell you, the young people in our country wanted to see it stay open very badly."

As conservatives reflect on the legacy of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk ahead of his celebration of life in Arizona on Sunday, some Republicans credit him with helping President Donald Trump win over young voters in 2024.Former TPUSA staffer Anthony DeWitt explained that the grassroots element of Kirks work likely played a "monumental" role in "energizing the youth to get out and vote in 2024.""Charlie created something that finally lifted the voices and work of not only grassroots, but young people, people like myself who were just entering politics and gave us something that traditionally was only achieved by those who have had a lifetime in politics," DeWitt stated.RED HATS AND CHANTS OF 'USA' MARK VIGIL HONORING SLAIN CONSERVATIVE LEADER CHARLIE KIRK: 'ACT'"Getting young people knocking doors, chasing ballots, getting signatures, signing up new voters, attending conferences that was the key to winning the 2024 election."A Fox News voter analysis had Trump wooing 47% of voters aged 18-29, with former Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly winning the demographic with 51%.In the battleground state of Michigan, the analysis found that Trump won the age group with 50%, compared to 48% for Harris.

Bill Simmons, CEO of The Ringer, is the latest sports personality to weigh in on Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from ABC.On Monday, Kimmel accused "the MAGA gang" of reaching "new lows" in "trying to characterize" Charlie Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson "as anything other than one of them."Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr pushed for Disney, ABC's parent company, to address the controversy. Simmons noted Rolling Stone reporting that ABC executives who did not feel Kimmel crossed a line were afraid of retaliation by the Trump administration.Carr was appointed by Trump before his first term, then again by Biden and once more by Trump upon reelection.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMWith that report in his back pocket, noting the potential merger between Nexstar and Tegna and the Trump administration's involvement, Simmons outwardly called Kimmel's removal "censorship" rather than "cancel culture," which he said will happen throughout Trump's presidency."[Kimmel] can still have that platform wherever he wants because hes the platform," Simmons said on his self-named podcast. "And thats the difference in this. And thats why I dont think this is quite as scary and terrible as maybe it felt this week. Yeah, were gonna have censorship. Yeah, stupid s--- like this apparently is gonna keep happening for the next three years. Yeah, the discourse is the ugliest its ever been."But I still feel like if somebodys good enough to have a platform, they can find it. So, I hope Jimmys show sticks around, and I hope ABC sticks by him. And I think if they dont, I think it would be pretty cowardly. I dont think thats a crazy thing to say. But if they dont stick by him and this is the end, I think hes gonna be fine. Hell find another platform somewhere, and hell figure out how to get all his content out in the right ways. And I would not bet against that dude."FORMER ESPN HOST RIPS DISNEY'S BOB IGER FOR 'STATE-RUN MEDIA' MOVE ON JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW DECISIONSimmons wrote for Kimmel's show in its early days, and their friendship has remained "for 24 years."

A famous clip resurfaced of legendary late-night host Johnny Carson defending his right to avoid bringing up "serious issues" on his talk show, arguing there is a danger in hosts like him being too self-important and swaying the public.Carson was a prolific television host and comedian, best known for hosting "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" from 1962 to 1992.

That's not what I'm there for. Can't they see that?" Carson replied. "Why do they think that just because you have a Tonight Show, that you must deal in serious issues?"That's a danger. It's a real danger. Once you start that, you start to get that self-important feeling that what you say has great import. And you know, strangely enough, you could use that show as a forum.
