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.
doesn’t the us have 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.

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 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.
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
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
I do.
A fuck of approval that is!
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.
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
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??
If you’re gonna be silent for a minute every time some American is gunned to death we’d never be able to talk
He would be proud
Why is this relevant to EU? Some US podcaster has died… Not anyone important
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.
Cuz christo fascism is a global scourg-I mean cance-I mean… uhhhh movement. Yea, That.
Good on the EU Parliament
