URGENT: Oxford Union Slams President-Elect Over Alleged Charlie Kirk Posts

URGENT: Oxford Union Slams President-Elect Over Alleged Charlie Kirk Posts The Oxford Union has condemned comments made by its incoming president-elect, George Abaraonye, after he appeared to celebrate the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk on social media. The posts were made public hours after news broke of Kirk's death in Utah. Abaraonye had taken part in a debate with Kirk at the Oxford Union in May, where they expressed opposing views on masculinity. The comments, which have been widely reported, seem to welcome the attack and were quickly deleted by Abaraonye. The incident has sparked outrage among students and staff at the university, with many calling for Abaraonye's resignation. The Oxford Union has issued a statement distancing itself from Abaraonye's comments, stating that they do not reflect the values of the organization. Background context: Charlie Kirk was shot dead while speaking at a university in Utah on Wednesday. He was an influential right-wing activist and close ally of US President Donald Trump. The current status is that Abaraonye has yet to comment further on the incident, and the Oxford Union is conducting an internal investigation into his comments.
