Conservative MP for Lethbridge Rachel Thomas pays tribute to Charlie Kirk in the House of Commons, calls for the defence of free speech and against political violence. She gets a standing ovation from the Conservatives and the Liberals.

Emphasis mine.

    That's right. If they had not mentioned him or mentioned a few examples, him among them, that would have made the optics very different.

    Problem with that though is their intention was specifically him. You're removing their motive from this by saying they could have not talked about him. Their motive was him. Honoring him. Lionizing him. Making a murder martyr of him. You can't take away the motive.
