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.
Honestly I reserve judgment on everything until (if really) we find out who killed him and why. I don’t see how this killing benefits “the left”. Feels more like a Reichstag moment. He already served his useful purpose of helping Trump get elected last year. I’ve never seen the conservatives (including previously unconfirmed conservatives) I know so riled up, calling for vengeance.
Yeah that’s essentially what I’m saying. They’re such fucking tools that the media amplified this to distract them from the Epstein files and it’s working just as intended. Kirk getting killed is something I’m just apathetic about and it’s not remotely close to the news that the media is making out to be, in order to distract people from the fact that they voted for and support a pedophile
