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.
holding a vigil to someone died in the US, responsible for turning men to the right wing manosphere with rhetoric and violence. this has russian back influenced all over it, right wing groups need to shore up thier support for the voters.
It should either not happen at all or become a worthy tradition. Who wouldn’t like to mourn Shapiro, Tate, Peterson, Netanyahu, Trump, Vance etc passing if they take off in a timely fashion? It wouldn’t hurt to have said moment of silence every week or so.
If they had a minute of silence for him, to be fair they’d need to have a minute of silence for every American gun death, and then they could never say anything.
At least then they couldn’t pass chat control 😎
“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.
Yeah, keyword is “right wing” lawmakers.
In my country at least, the far right is currently looking up to the US and sucking off Trump. Their true master is Putin, but they can’t praise Putin in public, we used to be part of the union.
Pwwweeese, we need a moment of silence for

European here.
I don’t give a fuck about dead Nazis.
We thank you for that.
Good. Absolute shit state of affairs that so many people in this country think this ratshit motherfucker deserves to be eulogized.
Why not? They’re the good kind.
I prefer my Nazis dead
I do.
A fuck of approval that is!
As a reminder, we hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Charlie Kirk spent his whole career doing.
That would be the same as if the British Parliament held a minute of silence to rever the death of Joseph Göbbels back in '45.
A minute of silence for every dead child in Gaza or nothing for no one.
If we did a minute of silence per child in Gaza murdered by the IDF maybe they would realize how bad this is
That’s months of silence.
I think the orphan-crushing machine will only stop when it’s eaten itself or has been beaten up.
Unfortunately you’re correct
Fuck Kirk, he doesn’t deserve anything other than that bullet.
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.
There’s not even an uproar, that’s Russian fiction.
Oh no. Anyway release the Epstein files
While I agree, do you actually think it will change anything?
Nothing fundamentally. Might speed up the course we’re on but that about it.
He would be proud
