In fact, most of the sources discuss Charlie Kirk's comments on the Civil Rights Act, which are not relevant to Mark Kirk [1] [2] [4]. Some sources provide information on Mark Kirk's legislative record and voting history, but they do not mention the Civil Rights Act or Mark Kirk expressing regret over it [5] [6].
