Marsha Blackburn, R-TN: "WAUUUUGH CHARLIE, WHERE'S MY BINKY, FIRE THAT GUY FOR SAYING BAD THINGS!"
US Secret Service agent put on leave for 'karma' post after Charlie Kirk's murder
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us-secret-agent-put-leave-194343372.html
"At the end of the day, you answer to GOD, and speak things into existence. You can only circumvent karma, she doesnt leave," Pough's post about Kirk read, per the outlets.
In a statement emailed to USA TODAY on Saturday, Sept. 13, the U.S. Secret Service said the agency "will not tolerate behavior that violates our code of conduct. This employee was immediately put on administrative leave, and an investigation has begun."
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-TN, called for Pough's immediate termination in a letter to Secret Service Director Sean Curran on Thursday, Sept. 11, according to her X post.
"As our nation mourns the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, a rogue @SecretService agent posted on Facebook suggesting that he deserved to be murdered," said Blackburn's X post, accompanied by a screenshot of her letter to Curran. "I am calling for this agent’s immediate termination. It's time to root out the rot in the Secret Service."
