Boebert’s Prayer Request After Moment of Silence for Kirk Sparks House Floor Outburst
The House of Representatives initially held a moment of silence for conservative activist Charlie Kirk following his shooting on September 10th. After the silent period, the tribute quickly deteriorated into partisan conflict when Rep. Lauren Boebert requested a spoken prayer. This request prompted heated exchanges between Democrats and Republicans, with some Democrats expressing frustration over perceived hypocrisy regarding gun violence victims. The chaos escalated with accusations and shouts, leading to attempts by Speaker Johnson to restore order.
