Republicans undertake the control campaign to take revenge on the death of Charlie Kerk

In the wake of the shooting of the right-wing activist Charlie Kerk, some political figures threaten a campaign of freedom of expression-the reason Kerk claimed the struggle for. Members of Congress, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and President Donald Trump all attacked the people who celebrated the death of Kirk online or criticized him while he was alive, and in some cases, saying they will use the government’s authority to punish statements certainly from the first amendment.

While it is still unclear to kill Kirk or why on a university campus in Utah on Wednesday, the Republican political figures along the way to Trump threatened revenge against the Democrats and the left. Trump Blame on the speech from “Radical Left” The “compared to the wonderful Americans like Charlie to the Nazis” as “directly responsible for the terrorism that we see in our country today.” He pledged to “find each of those who contributed to this atrocities and other political violence, including the organizations that funded and support them.” It is not clear exactly what Trump threatens – White House spokesman Abeel Jackson said in a statement that “the president was clear: the perpetrator of the crime or perpetrators of this horrific act will pay the price of what they did.”

At the same time, Deputy Foreign Minister Christopher Landau said “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not invited to visitors to our country” and promised to direct American consular officials to “take appropriate measures” against social media commentators who were “praise, spraying or shed light” on the killing of Kirk. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already clarified that the publication of social media to immigrants will now believe in the visa mode – the applicants for several types of visas must now. Set their social media profiles to be general To help the government define potential security threats, and its agency He defended the abolition of visas for the supporters of the Palestinians. Lando encouraged the audience to respond with accounts that celebrated the death of Kirk and said that his team would monitor the responses.

Meanwhile, some lawmakers have pushed technology companies to take strict measures on speech that did not respect enough right -wing, threatening the consequences if they do not. “I will use Congress salad and every effect with large technology platforms to clarify the immediate ban for the life of every publication or commentator who reduced the assassination of Charlie Kerk,” MP Clay Higgins (R-La) Books on x. His spokesman did not immediately respond to a question from freedom Clarify the authority that he planned to use. “I am also following their business licenses and permits, and their business will be inserted in the black list strongly, and they must be kicked from each school, and their drivers licenses must be canceled. I will mainly cancel with these evil animals, which celebrated the sick animals that celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.”

Representative Anna Polina Luna (R-FL) said that she will contact the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) and asks Apple to remove Roblox from its application store unless the game platform created by the user was Remove an alleged game “Refer to the assassination of Charlie Kerk.” Soon after, she said Roblox was working to remove the content, and she also said Tiktok similarly The videos will remove the kirk killing. Her spokesman did not immediately respond to a question about the relevant authority of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC).

Social media companies You voluntarily have moderate videos From the slaughter of Kirk and the functions that celebrate it, but the governmental figures demanding the removal of legal speech in light of an implicit or explicit threat of punishment – known as Jawbong – is a different story. The Republicans have provided the Biden administration to communicate with social media companies about concerns about specific posts and users, and bring the problem to supreme court , any He did not find a clear link Between White House messages and corporate policies.

Meanwhile, amateur internet operations were collected from people who talked negatively about Kirk in the wake of his death, including on a dedicated site that narrates the employers. Laura LoomerA developed right -wing activist, who is close to Trump, has publicly detonated government employees who criticized Kerk after the shooting, and continued her campaign to pressure the unique workers. At a press conference on Thursday morning, the law’s application urged the public to stop harassing two people with the attention that he interrogated after the shooting and was subsequently cleared.

In addition to reasons such as opposition to LGBTQ rights and the 1964 Civil Rights Law, Kirk set himself as a hero for freedom of expression, and handrails against Alleged control By large technology companies, and books “The hate speech does not exist legally in America. There is an ugly speech. There is a serious discourse. There is a evil speech. All this is protected by the first modification.” However, his organization Turning Point Usa maintains a “professor’s monitoring list” aimed at “exposing and documenting university professors who distinguish against conservative students and present left -class advertising in the classroom” – which academics say in the list, has reached a hypertrophy campaign to express KIRK opinions. Now, legislators and Trump may strengthen the campaign by the power of the state.
