WTF? Vice President JD Vance suggested people tell bosses if they see someone celebrating Kirk's killing.

Also to report them to the Justice Dept to be investigated.

“When you see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, call them out,” Vance said. “And hell, call their employer.”

The Secret Service, several U.S. airlines, Office Depot, and Nasdaq said they were among more than 30 employers that have sanctioned or fired employees in reaction to their statements about Kirk’s killing. Roughly three dozen workers are reported to have been suspended or fired over their responses to Kirk’s killing, including employees of Clemson University, MSNBC, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Carolina Panthers. Several local fire departments and school districts said they had also suspended or terminated employees over their remarks.
A website, which calls itself the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation, went viral on social media after publishing a searchable list of thousands of people accused of posting critical messages of Kirk after his killing. On Sunday it said the list, which it subsequently took down, had grown to more than 63,000 people. The backers of the website did not identify themselves and declined to comment when contacted via a message on X.

Before this is all over. Considering all the crazy MAGA cultists who post TikToks of themselves literally praying to Trump, I'm sure a bunch will add this guy to the pantheon too.

STFU and get back in your box.

I will pray to whatever deity or non-entity I CHOOSE - in accordance with the FIRST FUCKING AMENDMENT.

If my 'deeply held religious beliefs' include empassioned pleas to the almighty to strike dead all known or admitted couch fuckers in the US government, there is not a fucking legal thing you can do about it. Go violate another seating furnishing you diseased twat.
