The State Department indicated it would review the legal status of immigrants praising, rationalizing, or making light of conservative activist Charlie Kirks fatal shooting, Axios reports.
Said Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau: In light of yesterdays horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.
He added: I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action.

They are such pathetic little weasels trying to inflate this dead loser internet guy into a a major political figure. Its just so lame. Most people had no idea who he was until someone blew out his jugular live on camera.

He was a 31-year-old community college dropout who was never elected or appointed to any government job. He founded Turning Points when he was 18, and became a social media personality playing the role of a rightwing MAGA troll.
