- 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.
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.
I do not condone murder. I don’t even support a death penalty. But I do not and will not mourn terrorists, nor will I tolerate the whitewashing, sanewashing, or saintwashing of that hateful, monstrous person. Who dedicated their life to spreading fear and suffering and damnation among his fellow man.
I am a staunch atheist, but since Kirk frequently masqueraded as a Christian, I’ll leave you all with this:
Matthew 23:13-15
Tap for spoiler
You will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! Because you have shut people out from the kingdom of heaven you will never enter, just as you have stopped others from entering.
You will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! You would rob a widow of everything she has left, while verbosely pretending to pray; therefore, your punishment will be unimaginable.
You will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! You would travel any distance over land or sea to win one convert; and when you have one, you make them twice the child of damnation that you are.
