Over the weekend, the Stanislaus County Democratic Party rejected an invitation from the local Republican Party to attend a vigil honoring the memory of Charlie Kirk.
While Democrats in Stanislaus County spew hateful rhetoric and mock Charlie Kirk who was brutally assassinated while practicing free speech, out of touch Democrat Raul Ruiz haven't condemned this vile statement.
"Calling Charlie Kirk a 'fascist' to justify skipping a vigil for his murder is disgusting, but what's worse is out of touch Democrat Raul Ruiz's cowardly silence. Ruiz doesn't have the spine to stand up to their own party's hate, so he let their colleagues dance on the grave of a man who was assassinated for exercising his First Amendment rights." - NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
