A Florida councilman is refusing to resign following a slew of backlash after he called Charlie Kirk's assassination 'a fitting sacrifice'.
Steve Cody, who sits on the Palmetto Bay Village Council, sparked fury with a Facebook post declaring: 'Charlie Kirk is a fitting sacrifice to our Lords: Smith & Wesson. Hallowed be their names.'
The post included a graphic of Kirk's 2023 comments defending gun rights even at the cost of 'some gun deaths'.
Cody's post has since been deleted.
The councilman's remarks prompted widespread calls for his resignation from local residents as well as lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle.
