Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Capitol has seen its fair share of controversies, but few have sent shockwaves through both chambers of Congress quite like this one. When the Senate unveiled its plan to officially designate October 14, 2025, as “National Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day,” many expected backlash. What they didn’t expect was Representative Jasmine Crockett’s fiery, unfiltered rejection that has since set Washington ablaze, split the nation, and triggered what some analysts are already calling “the most divisive cultural clash of the decade.”
