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.
We don’t care. We also would not hold a moment of silence if Joe Rogan was shot.
He was some right-wing idiot influencer, what do you expect?
Should we have a minute of silence if some Putin propagandist in Russia dies? Wtf why is this a topic at all?
What’s with the Trump fd little girls on Epstein island, can we get back to that?
No uproar. Fascists got told no by the majority.
They can always go have a viking funeral, or sacrifice a goat, or slice their arms while ululating, or whatever the hell those people do, just not in the European Parliament.
I never suspected that Charlie Kirk was deemed more important or valuable than all of those schoolchildren (past, present and future) that were killed by gun violence. I expect Solomon Grundy to cause some shit later today in this bizarro world.
It’s really disappointing, living here in Colorado where we had a school shooting on the same day as the Charlie Kirk thing, and seeing the people on Nextdoor gushing over the “find out” phase of a 13 year career antagonizing people, while ignoring the deaths of their neighbors children. MAGA is sick as fuck.
Probably the fastest and easiest ”no” in European Parliament history.
Influencer = just some guy. If he was close to you, go have your own moment of silence.
There was no uproar, no one cares.
Good, why should the EU care? This whole political scene is just US doing its best to try and escalate bad relations with EU.
Of course it is. Putin hates the EU and NATO, and Trump is Putin’s bitch.
fuck that kirk idiot and the usa
Interesting. Release the Epstein files.
You’d have better luck standing on your roof and yelling at random people in red hats that the 80 year old man who is also a convicted felon likes to party with all of the rich people on a private island (probably doing horrible things to men, women & children) and his “friends” can use .00005% of their wealth to make your online presence null and your life a miserable hell.
Why would they? He’s a frickin podcaster, not some virtuous political figure gunned down doing their duty to the public. He was paid to be at an event to promote himself and his agenda.
He was a lot more than a podcaster, he was a well-funded hatemonger leading the neoconfederate christofascist wing of MAGA.
That doesn’t make the point any more salient. He’s a nobody hate mongerer, not an elected political figure. Why would any government anywhere give a shit about him?
Cuz christo fascism is a global scourg-I mean cance-I mean… uhhhh movement. Yea, That.
Global bowel movement, more like.
2000 year case of constipation.
Would you say Charlie’s proposal was… shot down?
Not a fuĺl throated motion.
The proposal failed…by a long shot ?
Thank you EU for not glorifying yet another Hitler wannabe! “Never Again” means just that!
Never again will we miss getting on the ground floor of growing fascism
Why would we care in Europe about a fascist US citizen dying on his own soil? He’s just some random dude for us. More concerning are the murders of school children and the Epstein files.
The only reason I even knew about him was because of people mocking him and denouncing his grifting and reprehensible ideology through memes.
I was fascinated by his manlet body, pumpkin-like head, small face, and chromosomal features.
High rate of sisterfucking among the fundies.
Kirk’s wife didn’t look chromosomal, always surprising what attractive women the biggest chumps can attract.
It’s because she’s a Nazi too.
One could say he bore a mitochondrial burden.
He’s literally a right wing influencer, nothing else.
Kirk is NOT A HERO
