"Rubio Starts Revoking Visas for Those Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Killing: ‘Prepare to Be
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration is taking steps to revoke visas for foreign visitors found to have celebrated the murder of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk.

“America will not host foreigners who celebrate the death of our fellow citizens. Visa revocations are underway,” Rubio posted on X. “If you are here on a visa and cheering on the public assassination of a political figure, prepare to be deported. You are not welcome in this country.”

Rubio’s post included a clip of a Fox News interview broadcast on Monday, where he confirmed that the U.S. is willing to take away the visas of any foreign national found cheering the death of Kirk."

There is no evidence that a single visa has been revoked.

Just sayin'...

Us is "is preparing to..." "is willing to..."

In other words, they ain't done shit.

Social media influencers are political figures now?

This whole thing, I am sick of hearing about that worthless piece of shit.

This is no longer a free country because our priorities are all wrong

It’s only gonna get worse, everyday

So it seems hard to believe that any of them "celebrated" his murder. He just wasn't that relevant outside of this country.

He is definitely known outside the country, and probably mostly not fondly

And you can bet he aims to do more than just punish visitors. He probably means to punish all the way up to naturalized folks, at minimum.

These guys are REALLY leaning into the fascism we've long accused them of, that they were loath to admit before.

Now they're basically just SCREAMING "OKAY YEAH YOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG!!!!" with gusto and at the top of their fucking lungs.
