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.
