Congressman Raskin urges Democrats to avoid 'trap,' vote for Charlie Kirk honor

WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin, a leading liberal voice in Congress, urged his fellow Democrats on Thursday to avoid an "obvious political trap" and vote for a Republican resolution honoring the assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Raskin, a Maryland lawmaker, urged his colleagues to ignore "surplus verbiage" in the resolution and instead back it as a condemnation of violence.

“We cannot fall for that obvious political trap and should rise above it," Raskin said. "It is essential that we come together as Americans to condemn each and every episode of political violence."
