  • 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'm self-employed, so nobody can fire me but me ( and I've been tempted at times). Luckily, my boss despises MAGA Nazi Traitors, as much as I do, so I'm safe.

Also, I'd never be so stupid as to post my political views under my own name.
