  • 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.

      God, I wish. It would be so nice not to be weighed down by all the baggage. All they do is steal my tax money without representation then piss it all away.

      I fully support an independent union of western states.

      Becoming the Canadian province of Pacifica or Cascadia would also be acceptable. Let Gilead fend for itself.
