European Parliament Refuses Moment of Silence for Charlie Kirk After Fatal Shooting [View all]
YouTube description (1:55): Chaos broke out in the European Parliament after Swedish MEP Charlie Weimers requested a moment of silence for U.S. conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on September 10.
The request was declined by Parliament leadership, sparking outrage among some members and debate over political divisions in Europe regarding Kirk’s legacy.
Kirk, 31, was a close ally of President Donald Trump, founder of Turning Point USA, and a prominent voice in the MAGA movement. His assassination in Utah sent shockwaves across the U.S. and drew international reactions.
This latest development highlights how Kirk’s death continues to stir global political tensions.
