  • Republicans warn against mocking Kirk’s death, threaten dire consequences
  • 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.

    “Prepare to have your whole future professional aspirations ruined if you are sick enough to celebrate his death,” said conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, a prominent ally of President Donald Trump and one of several far-right figures who are organizing digital campaigns on X, the social media site, to ferret out and publicly shame Kirk’s critics.

    Laura Loomer and Kirk’s assassin were both Groypers. Nick Fuentes backed Loomer for congress, and she was shit-talking Kirk over his Epstien stance last month. She’s more culpable than anyone she’s whining about.
