  • 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 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)

Who?

9/10/2025 Already Forgot

Over the past two days in my Project Zomboid server, we have been referring to neck injuries as "getting Kirked".

I guess I'm lucky everyone at my job is perfectly fine with his demise.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

I'm self-employed, so nobody can fire me but me ( and I've been tempted at times). Luckily, my boss despises MAGA Nazi Traitors, as much as I do, so I'm safe.

Also, I'd never be so stupid as to post my political views under my own name.

Charlie Kirk deserved what he got, and everybody who defends him deserves the same. He was an unapologetic racist, and deserves no sympathy.

This is some serious North Korea shit, where if you do not mourn the passing of the leader you could be imprisoned.

[–] Kben@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago

Oul Charlie would debate this but he got something caught in his throat.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Stop posting collections of direct quotes that make him sound like a fascist asshole! You're taking them out of context!

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Get fucked, losers.

The guy who said empathy was stupid and a few deaths were worth having the 2a? If you insist!

[–] hector@lemmy.today 9 points 1 month ago

Well I do apologize if I am not giving a full throated mourning here.

But I would like to think I am neck and neck with most non pieces of shit and not being sad that a literal Nazi influencer met and Ill end.

They are honoring Charlie Kirk by carrying on his legacy of hate and coercion.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Or else what, you hateful pieces of subhuman trash?

These same people are criticising the UK for their crackdown on freedom of speech, kettle calling pot black.

They have a website to record people's information if they say something negative about him. http://www.charliesmurderers.com/

dem leaders complicit in defending kirk, of course they are instead of you know criticizing kirk for fomenting this type of violence in the first place, and not condeming the far right. so many dems are actually DINOS anyways, so no surprise there. the senators that were murdered, the news got dropped almost as fast as they got killed, not a word from dems since.
