Vice President JD Vance on Monday jumped onto the conservative movement demanding consequences for those who have cheered Charlie Kirk’s killing, calling on the public to turn in anyone who says distasteful things about the assassination of his friend and political ally.
“When you see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, call them out,” Vance urged listeners on the slain activist’s podcast Monday. “And hell, call their employer.”
Vance’s call also included a vow to target some of the biggest funders of liberal causes as conservatives stepped up their targeting of private individuals for their comments about the killing. It marked an escalation in a campaign that some warned invoked some of the darkest chapters of American history.
“The government involvement in this does inch this closer to looking like McCarthyism,” said Adam Goldstein of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, referring to the 1950s campaign to root out communists that led to false allegations and ruined careers. “It was not a shining moment for free expression.”
IT’S TIME TO RETALIATE.
For every non-fascist they get fired, we need to get 10 fascists fired.
Saying good riddance to fascists isn’t “distasteful;” it’s a moral imperative. J.D. Vance’s words are obscene.
This is not “inch[ing] closer” to McCarthyism; this is taking a flying leap towards it. They are openly calling for war against all non-fascists. Believe them. They are coming to destroy us all, and we have to defend ourselves.
They have to LOSE and it has to happen by any means necessary.
Thought crime is now a thing in real life
Fuck Charlie Kirk and Fuck Trump.
Fuck. My crazy sister in law is going to try to get my wife and I fired now for not suitably respecting the asshole isn’t she…
My brother got mad when I called Kirk an asshole after he text me with the “sad news”
The conversation with my brother via text.
Him: Charlie Kirk was killed today …sad
Me: Not how I see it.
Him He had a family he had two children
Me: Idc he was an asshole who said gay people should get the death plenty. I don’t want talk about it. You forgot I am not rightwinger.
Him I feel sorry for you
Me Don’t your the one following hate mongers. It has to be exhausting. Wishing death on people is very unchristian. You should know that.
He didn’t respond anymore after that. Hopefully he doesn’t try to get me canceled. It’s unfortunate that my brother got suck into the Maga movement by our father. (He was always sensitive and easy to manipulate) But he isn’t a vindictive person so I should be fine. But my dad I just hope you didn’t tell him my feelings.
To be fair, I’m pretty mad at what you said, too. Specifically, I’m upset that you weren’t explicit and emphatic enough in expressing contempt for Kirk and satisfaction at his demise.
Your brother and your dad both deserve to be berated incessantly for their hatefulness. You’re worried about retaliation from them? They ought to be worried about retaliation from you!
Sorry I hate my dad, but sadly I love my brother even though he is misguided. Again he is easily manipulatied. If I could get him alone for week and have his Tik Tok algorithm turned to the left, I could turn him into a socialist in no time.
But unfortunately he spends more time around our father and watch Faux news and I seen his Tik Tok feed its bad.
Try to get her fired then.
She’s already unemployed, afaik.
Then go after her landlord. Or her friends.
Every fascist deserves to be ostracized fully from society.
She is a heroine addict with borderline personality disorder and she’s super verbally abusive to her boyfriend, has even had him arrested by goading him into saying something which she recorded and shared with the cops and they are still together like 8 years in. Anyone that’s still in her sphere is pretty much bullet proof at this point. Oh and she owns her home because she previously made good money as director of a sober living nonprofit (no joke, you can’t make this shit up) and get boyfriend pays her mortgage. She’s a psycho with nothing to lose.
Huh, I thought they liked free speech, and didn’t like cancel culture.
I’m going to refer you back to Drew Carry.
Everythings made up, and the points don’t matter.
I will not have this Clive Anderson erasure
Suck my first amendment, fascists.
There is nobody left to enforce the first (or any) amendment except for the ammo box.
“SUCK MY BARREL JERRY!” - Random British infantry unit in one of the Company of Heroes games.
Well well well, the freedom of speech people are censoring speech. What a shock…
“Joins”? They fucking orchestrated it.
Ironically Charlie Kirk wouldn’t have even supported this.
I hate the guy and am glad he’s gone, but the last thing that guy wanted to do was affect free speech. That was his meal ticket.
Nah, it’s ‘free speech’ for Nazi scum like himself, not for anyone else.
I mean I agree he was Nazi scum.
But his whole schtick was generating anger in front of live audiences. They eat it up.
So I disagree. Kirk was a piece of shit but I don’t recall him ever calling foul on someone saying something mean.
Without people able to walk up to him and debate freely, he wouldn’t get his entire schtick.
This is just wild ignorance or revisionist history. Turning Point USA had professor watchlists where students could report professors with “leftist” views and then TP’s supporters could send the professors death threats https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/sep/17/turning-point-usa-professor-watchlist
TIL
My stance is with regard to his debates be far more good faith than the likes of Shapiro, Peterson, or any other alleged 1st amendment defending debaters.
I do not support most any of his stances but the right to open public discourse.
But if there’s evidence to the contrary in not here to defend it. Just stating my experience with his brand/id
bunch of fascist scum
Once they’ve done away with Americans’ First Amendment rights, no one will hear anything when they come after the others.
How do you police the mood swings of GOP opinion? Talk about muddying up the courts with absurd BS.
I don’t typically talk about politics at work anyway. They just want to be hateful all they want without anyone contracting them.
