A moment of silence for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who died after being shot in the neck Wednesday at an event in Utah, devolved into frustrated shouts on the House floor Wednesday.
Moments of silence, while not unusual in the House for tragedies, are typically undisturbed.
But this time, as it ended, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., said from the floor that “silent prayer gets silent results” and asked about a spoken prayer. This spurred House Democrats to begin yelling, with Republicans responding with shouts of their own.
