• 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.

    Why the fuck should I mourn him. I barely knew who he was before he died. And seems he was against fun regulations even though kids where getting shot in schools so he seemed to die the way he liked.

    I got my first a doxxing threat on another platform and all I said was he didn’t deserve to die, he deserves a punch to the nose.

    These people are insane.

    Hey Kirk fans,

    I’ll show him just as much respect as the right showed the minnesota democrats who were attacked by a right wing nut job (just like Kirk was, I might add)

      Whenever I see pictures of Charlie Kirk I sincerely can’t tell if his face really is that small or if it’s shopped for the memes.

    Mourn him properly? Sure. Well as the man himself said it, it is a necessary cost of having the second amendment. Also as he stated empathy is a disease of the woke, so nothing to see here, just move along.

      What I don’t get is why do people think he wants them to mourn him? He made his thoughts on that pretty clear lol
