Three Democratic members of Congress offered public tributes to Assata Shakur, a convicted cop killer who died this week in Cuba, while voting against a resolution honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier this month.
Reps. Summer Lee (D-PA), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Yvette Clarke (D-NY) each issued statements praising Shakur following confirmation of her death.
Lee posted a message on X quoting Shakur
Clarke shared a longer tribute on her account
Pressley, speaking at a Friday event, quoted Shakur in a call-and-response exchange with the audience.

Shakur was one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives for decades. In 2013, the Obama Years, she was added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists List, making her the first woman to appear on the list.
The FBI and New Jersey authorities each offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her capture.
