DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – A Michigan judge is facing deserved backlash after making disgusting comments in the wake of Christian martyr Charlie Kirk’s assassination. That’s why an Oakland County Republican Party leader wants her gone from the bench.

Within hours of Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday, 45th District Court Judge Jaimie Powell Horowitz shared a video featuring political activist Charlie Kirk at a 2023 event. Judge Powell Horowitz captioned the video with “Talk about dying for your beliefs.” The video clip features Kirk discussing gun violence and the Second Amendment.

Powell Horowitz doubled down saying she would not resign because what she said is factual. Voters elected her to the bench in 2020.

Kirk, who leaves behind a wife and two children, died while moderating an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. An assassin’s bullet hit him in the neck while he spoke to a crowd of college students. Kirk founded Turning Point USA, an organization that challenged college students to consider conservative values and use their critical thinking skills.
