- Republicans warn against mocking Kirk’s death, threaten dire consequences
- At least 15 people fired or suspended for allegedly disrespecting Kirk’s memory
- Online campaigns directed by Republicans continue to target Kirk’s critics online
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - After the fatal shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, U.S. Republicans have a warning for Americans: Mourn him respectfully or suffer the consequences.
Over the past several days, Democratic and Republican leaders have widely condemned the murder of Kirk, a 31-year-old activist and Trump world celebrity known for his hard-right views and pugnacious debating style.
I’m not sad that a fascist was murdered.
I am sad that the US has got to the point where fascists are being murdered, in public.
There’re millions of Americans who are ordinary people who are watching their home burn to the ground and are effectively powerless to do anything about it.
Let’s not forget it was a fascist murdered by another even-more-fascist fascist for not being fascist enough.
Yeah. It is sad that that is what its come to.
A much better way of putting my point.
The fact that someone like him was elevated to the status he was coupled with someone feeling they needed to go as low as killing another human to make things better is insane. I hope American history (as long as America still exists long enough for this to become history) looks back at this like we looked back at other huge events in American history and some 4th grade teacher someday has to try to explain to our great-grandchildren how we let things backslide to this point followed immediately by a chapter on the first presidential debate held entirely virtual with augmented reality and holograms.
