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. A smattering of commentators – including ordinary people joking about and sometimes celebrating Kirk’s death to lawmakers and pundits dwelling on his history of bigoted rhetoric – has also surfaced, only to be targeted in organized campaigns.
At least 15 people have been fired or suspended from their jobs after discussing the killing online, according to a Reuters tally based on interviews, public statements and local press reports. The total includes journalists, academic workers and teachers. On Friday, a junior Nasdaq employee was fired over her posts related to Kirk.

They didn't care about the Minnesota representatives! They joked about Paul Pelosi.
Kilmeade, co-host of Fox & Friends, appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend on Sunday, telling viewers, “In the morning, we were discussing the murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina and how to stop these kinds of attacks by homeless, mentally ill assailants, including institutionalizing or jailing such people so they cannot attack again. Now during that discussion, I wrongly said they should get lethal injections. I apologize for that extremely callous remark. I am obviously aware that not all mentally ill, homeless people act as the perpetrator did in North Carolina, and that so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion.”
Loser. The real Nazi experience in person. -greenman
They are also canceling grants for the blind/deaf.
"Federal and state grants that support individuals with deafblindness and other visual impairments have been canceled by the U.S. Department of Education. Multiple states have been affected by the discontinuation of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part D grants, which were terminated because of their focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)."
Moronic and despicable.

The Fascist Right have NEVER explained what's wrong about diversity, equality or inclusion.
