Ousted Oxford Union president-elect apologises to Charlie Kirk’s family after celebrating shooting
Ousted Oxford Union president-elect George Abaraonye has issued an apology to the family of Charlie Kirk after celebrating when he was shot. The 20-year-old PPE student at University College, Oxford, sparked outrage in September when he wrote in a WhatsApp group of Union members: ‘Charlie Kirk got shot, let’s f****** go’, and posted a similar message on Instagram. The comments came just months after Abaraonye sat opposite Kirk, one of the most prominent pro-Trump voices in American politics during a heated Oxford Union debate. He now claims his reaction came before the seriousness of the incident became clear.’I had very little context.
