Heated Clash in Congress after ‘spoken prayer’ request for Charlie Kirk
House Speaker Mike Johnson mourned the shooting of Charlie Kirk and held a moment of silence for the esteemed conservative organizer and Turning Point USA founder after he was fatally shot in the neck at Utah Valley University. After the brief moment of silence in the House chamber, Rep.

Some were heard grousing, “no.” The chamber then descended into nasty bickering and jeering.
