The House of Representatives burst into chaos as Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to lead a prayer for Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated in Utah on Wednesday.
Father-of-two Kirk, 31, the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization that regularly holds events on college campuses nationwide, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem and died about two and half hours later.
His assassination not only devastated many members of Congress who knew the activist personally, but unleashed sadness, confusion and anger among lawmakers in the Capitol on both sides of the political spectrum.
'Political violence must be called out,' Johnson said in a statement about an hour after the shooting.
'We need everyone who has a platform to say this loudly and clearly: we can settle disagreements and disputes in a civil manner.'
He then went inside and held a moment of silence for Kirk on the chamber floor as questions swirled about whether the father-of-two was alive or dead.
Following the somber moment of silence, Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., called out to Johnson to hold a moment of prayer for the 31-year-old.
That's when things got ugly.
Some Democrats, clearly against the request for prayer, began cheering in unison 'No!'

Democrats are evil. He nation is seeing that more and more every day.
Name them and shame them.
Censor all dems in the House that did this.
If there are any good people left in this country they should join us in condemning the Dems and Socialists in their ongoing evil.
What kind of people would violate a moment of silence honoring a dead person?
Demonic ones.
Condemning them is not enough.
RE “… we can settle disagreements and disputes in a civil manner.’..”
Not any more.
And this mentality is why Charlie is dead.
Democrats=satan’s spawn
It’s disgustingly obvious.
But wasting them will currently get you prison time.
I want to survive on this forum.
The people who did that have no shame.
What a depraved bunch not fit for public service.
It is not about politics.
It’s about getting lots of easy money from the taxpayers.
Face it they enjoy the murder of conservatives.
Just the latest example of:
Without a conscience or a soul, anything is possible.
I’ve been saying it for at least two years now.
The Democrat Party is a terrorist organization.
Have any prominent Democrats issued a statement condemning the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk? Have we heard from Joe Biden? Kamala Harris? Chuck Schumer? Nancy Pelosi? Gavin Newsom? Anybody on the left?
I want to survive in this nation. We are under attack by a demonic enemy. That’s the reality. This forum has to accept that fact. If it doesn’t so be it.
Hey America! How’d you like this. You Marxist scumbags are losing it.
What would we expect from a bunch of people who are controlled by demons ... heartfelt prayers to God?
