Pandemonium broke out on the floor of the House of Representatives after GOP Speaker of the House Mike Johnson called for the lower chamber to take part in a moment of silence in relation to the death of conservative speaker and activist Charlie Kirk.
Soon after the moment of silence, Boebert (R-Colo.) requested a spoken prayer, saying “Silent prayers get silent results.” However, she was almost immediately met with outrage from some of her colleagues.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who was a close friend of Kirk, then stood up and shouted at the “booing” representatives — accusing them of inciting the very violence that lead to his assassination.

Luna has a long history of working under Kirk. In 2018, he recruited her to join Turning Point USA as the group’s national outreach director.
