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.
@MicroWave why would the EU want to hold a minute of silence for an enemy of everything it stood for? Seems a bit odd.
Because the EU has a lot of fascist chuds in it who stand for what fuckface stood for.
The US is speedrunning christofacism. But we aren’t the only ones with a major infection.
Complicates my exit strategy. 😐
The only viable exit strategy at this point is either manning the guns, or reloading for the gunners.
Vivé Luigi!
I think they would for Orbán out of courtesy. But an American influencer who’s also against its principles? Only the Patriot faction.
“Patriot”
The air quotes are really important here. Thanks for stressing that.
