U.S. Vice President JD Vance has said people celebrating the death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk should face consequences. Hosting the Charlie Kirk Show, Vance urged Americans to report such individuals to their employers. “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility,” he said. His comments follow reports of teachers, pilots, medical staff, and even a US Secret Service employee losing jobs or facing suspension over insensitive posts. Critics argue these firings threaten free speech, but US companies have wide discretion. Kirk, a supporter of Donald Trump and Vance, was shot dead while hosting a debate in Utah. (PC: BBC)
