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 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…
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.
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.
