Congress Republicans want to target liberal donors after Charlie Kirk’s death

Congress Republicans want to target liberal donors after Charlie Kirk’s death

The article discusses a push by around two dozen Republican lawmakers in the wake of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's public killing. They are urging House leadership to create a new select committee that would investigate "The money, influence, and power behind the radical left's assault on America and the rule of law." The lawmakers are requesting subpoena power to dig into political opponents in the media and funding ecosystem that the right deems unduly hostile. They claim the attack on Kirk was fueled by "anti-American ideology" and blame "radical organizations" and figures like George Soros for "funding and putting in place District Attorneys and Judges to then coordinate releasing criminals to the streets." The push follows a wave of statements from Republican officials promising consequences for people who celebrated or made light of Kirk's death.
