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 the fuck would EU Parliament give a shit about an American YouTuber?
He’s not just a YouTuber, he’s a Republican Mega-Bundler. One of the richest country’s premier bagmen has been slain. How can you be so callous? It’s not like he’s a Palestinian or a Minnesota Congressperson or a Colorado school kid, here. He’s important!
Yeah, the GOP keeps trying to make this asshole into something more than he’s not. He wasn’t even part of ANY government service. Like, this clown wasn’t even a local parks and rec employee of a small town.
If the EU Parliament had to have a minute of silence for every shitty American killed by a gun, they’d never have time for anything else.
the us has like hundreds of gun deaths every day
4 mass shootings this past Sunday; and 4 isn’t even a ‘record’ day by half.
Which 4? I’m not doubting just checking sources as I hadn’t heard about them.
As an American, I laughed out loud at this one. They sure wouldn’t!
As a reminder, we hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Charlie Kirk spent his whole career doing.
🤣🤣🤣 the bros and I spent weeks quoting this, genuinely wasn’t expecting to see it here, best laugh I’ve had this week. Thank you.
We don’t silence for klan members.
But we do issue official fascist decree to lower flags to half staff for 5 days.
Just like we did when the Democratic rep and her husband were assassinated back in June.
Oh wait, I’m wrong, we didn’t hear a single fucking thing resembling reverence from the Nazis about that terrorist attack.
Why should they hold a moment of silence? Kirk wasn’t a US official.
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
“Why would anyone in Europe care?”
I think the point of it would be to signal to Trump that Europe is his vassal. Trump says it’s sad that this guy is dead, therefore Europe is sad. Doesn’t really matter who it is or what’s up. You’re just following the pledge of fealty.
So, I think it’s good that the EU decided they’re sovereign for now. This sort of thing is always an ongoing project.
European here.
I don’t give a fuck about dead Nazis.
Why not? They’re the good kind.
That is true.
I prefer my Nazis dead
Good. Absolute shit state of affairs that so many people in this country think this ratshit motherfucker deserves to be eulogized.
I was out on my bike ride yesterday and one of the places I stop is next to a flagpole. The fucking flag was at half-mast for this asshole, just preposterous.
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.
Why should they? He wasn’t an elected official in Europe, he wasnt a world leader or a diplomat. He was some influencer, a dirtbag that spread racism and hate for money. He was Logan Paul basically, why would a parliament have a silence for him??
He would be proud
If you’re gonna be silent for a minute every time some American is gunned to death we’d never be able to talk
Why is this relevant to EU? Some US podcaster has died… Not anyone important
“Lets us all be distracted so the peons will forget how many pedos are ruling the world”
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
Pwwweeese, we need a moment of silence for
