Earlier this month, the Oxford Union held a no-confidence vote in its president-elect George Abaraonye, based on his celebration of Charlie Kirk’s murder. “Charlie Kirk got shot,” Abaraonye wrote in a group chat last month, “let’s f—ing go.” On Instagram, he announced: “Charlie Kirk got shot loool.”
Bizarrely, Abaraonye depicted the campaign to remove him from office as one of “harassment, censorship, and abuse.” Without a hint of self-irony, the young man who indecently cheered Kirk’s murder wrote: “We will not be silenced.”
