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.
charlie kirk was a piece of shit and I’m glad he’s gone.
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.
Or else what? The ghost of his forehead will haunt me for the rest of my days?
Too late.
This is some serious North Korea shit, where if you do not mourn the passing of the leader you could be imprisoned.
I’m glad the free speech warriors are keeping comedy legal.
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.
No problem. Next time I’m in the area, I’ll be sure to piss on his grave.
Oul Charlie would debate this but he got something caught in his throat.
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)
Exactly two people die on the “wrong” side and nothing.
I’m going to straight up point out his followers are Nazis and their opinions are not to be listened to. Idiots
Kirk is their modern day Horst Wessel. Just wait until they release a country song praising his life and play it at sports events.
Properly? Listen, i’m not gonna fly over there to shit on his grave.
Stop posting collections of direct quotes that make him sound like a fascist asshole! You’re taking them out of context!
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.
Republicans honor the memory of Charlie Kirk by doing… _checks notes _…”snowflake liberal cancel culture”
