Read more than the headline, and social media posts arent news.

Yes, Charlie Kirk's assassination sparked a conversation about the importance of free speech and disavowing political violence in parliament. The standing ovation was not for Charlie, but for the outcome of that speech.

Still, not very tactful and the speech could've definitely been written better to be clear that the call is for defence of free speech and denouncing political violence, rather than support of Kirk.
