People who fete the cleanup of conservativist activistic Charlie Kirk should be reported to their employers, US Vice chairman J.D. Vance has said.
Kirk, the conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed during a public event in Utah last week. His death has provoked widespread reaction across the political spectrum, with some on the left openly cheering the assassination.
“Call them out, and hell, call their employer,” Vance said while guest-hosting an episode of the Charlie Kirk Show on Monday. “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility,” he stressed.
Vance was joined by White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who vowed to dismantle what he described as left-wing “terrorist networks” allegedly responsible for the killing.
Since the shooting, multiple individuals have already faced disciplinary action over their social media posts celebrating or mocking Kirk’s death. MSNBC cut ties with analyst Matthew Dowd, who suggested Kirk’s “hateful words” were what got him killed. Nasdaq, the US Secret Service, United Airlines, Fox Sports, and the Washington Post have also taken action against staff.
The Secret Service confirmed that one of its employees had lost their security clearance after writing that Kirk “spewed hate and racism” on his show. Office Depot said it had fired staff at a Michigan branch after a video showed workers refusing to print posters for a vigil. Clemson University confirmed that it had fired one employee and suspended two professors over what it called inappropriate posts.
Vance’s comments have been echoed by other Republicans. Florida congressman Randy Fine said on X that such individuals should face “firing, defunding, and license revocation,” while South Carolina congresswoman Nancy Mace urged federal funding to be cut from schools that do not discipline staff.
The investigation into Kirk’s murder is ongoing. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested and is alleged to have etched anti-fascist slogans onto bullet casings. The governor of Utah said Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.” Reports also claim he was living with a transgender partner.
