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.
Did they request a moment of silence for the children who were masacred?
Or just for the guy that preached hate?
Definitely just the guy that preached hate, they don’t care about the kids, but I am curious if they held one for the elected democratic members that were assassinated a few months prior.
No they did not. President couldn’t even mention them in his latest statement when speaking of all the recent victims of gun violence. He skipped over the the names of legislators that actually died. Of course those names are of Democrats.
