Right-wing lawmakers pushed for a tribute to the U.S. conservative influencer who was shot dead.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola on Thursday rejected a bid by right-wing factions to hold a minute of silence for slain U.S. conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
The initiative was first proposed by Charlie Weimers, an MEP from the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), as a symbolic measure “to declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished,” according to an email chain with dozens of MEPs that was seen by POLITICO.
Why should they hold a moment of silence? Kirk wasn’t a US official.
Did they hold a moment of silence when that minnesota dem senator was killed? Honestly curious if there is even precedent for them doing it even for a politician.
I’m sure they don’t hold a moment of silence every time someone in the US dies of gun violence, since they would never be able to speak…
Exactly… Kirk was literally indoctrinating children into a hateful, murderous ideology. All of this praise is sickening.
Find the praise, find the sickos.
Only a dead Nazi is a good Nazi.
And that is more than just a slogan.
In my mind it stems from the realization that those who don’t honour the social contract forfeit any protection granted by it.
Take it or leave it, but don’t cherry-pick.
If you hate on people and want them dead, well, guess what other people may think of your right to live?
This is just one of those “did you even say thank you?” moments when Trump, Vance, and the other GOP Muppets try to generate outrage and play upon the ignorance of their base.
It’s a show made exclusively for the idiots.
They laughed and mocked them. Insisting they were insane and got what they deserved. Even Trump said he did not call the governor to give condolences as he considered Tim Walz beneath him.
Id answer your question, but I have to wait until the backed up moment of silence log is complete. Were adding one every 30 seconds
he wasn’t elected, he wasn’t important, and after he was killed, most search traffic was asking who the fuck he was. Now he’s being formed into a martyr for the Nazis.
But the hammer incident and Minnesota incident I will cherish this moment the rest of my life, where’s charlie’s grave I got a drop a deuce!!
Wait, really? Nobody knew him? I guess it makes sense: everyone knows the song but nobody knows the singer. Only in this case it’s not a song, it’s propaganda and indoctrination. Like how if Christopher Rufo kicked the bucket, few would know he literally invented the CRT scare.
Game recognize game.
Official of what? I’ve only ever heard of his podcast
