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.
the us has 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.
We don’t silence for klan members.
Why would Kirk even be eligible for a moment of silence?!
He wasn’t a member of state. He wasn’t even on someone’s staff.
He literally was just some guy. Not even a notable guy. Just some guy that was conservative who, AT BEST, said some controversial things.

He literally was just some guy.
On one hand, to Europe they were just some guy. True.
On the other, they were the co-founder and CEO of a political influencer operation so influential that the US President and their party are doing all this crap to honor them. Kirk is responsible for radicalizing many people into real violence.
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 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
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.
Oh no. Anyway release the Epstein files
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??
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.
One could say he bore a mitochondrial burden.
If you’re gonna be silent for a minute every time some American is gunned to death we’d never be able to talk
Why is this relevant to EU? Some US podcaster has died… Not anyone important
He would be proud
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
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 😎
