In the aftermath of far-right activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination, dozens across the United States have been fired, suspended or disciplined over social media posts about Kirk and his death, as employers and public officials crack down on remarks they deem “inappropriate”.
After Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on 10 September while speaking at Utah Valley University, members of the Trump administration called on the public to expose anyone appearing to be “celebrating” his killing.
“Call them out, and hell, call their employer,” JD Vance said. “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility.”
This is a Guardian piece, consider yourselves warned.
Everybody stop what you’re doing and watch this.
Greg Gutfeld just shut down liberals who are portraying Jimmy Kimmel as the victim and melting down over his suspension for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
