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.
I mean, obviously, but this still made me literally lol - like why was this even an expectation?
(I should know more about these ECRs.)
If we don’t do it for “”“global”“” school mass shutting events (due to the frequency it would be very impractical), this “school shooting” shouldn’t be the case either.
Also influencers like this pos actually affect the practical liberties of freedom of speech by “shouting the loudest” from their professionally raised platforms to comparably silence minorities & their talking points.
Also, doesn’t usually Kenny get killed?
