Secret Service agent put on leave for anti-Charlie Kirk Facebook post [View all]
A Secret Service agent was put on immediate leave after posting disparaging remarks on social media about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the federal law enforcement agency confirmed.
Kirk became the victim of what officials called a "political assassination" on Wednesday, Sept. 10, while speaking to roughly 3,000 people at Utah Valley University's campus. Authorities arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, on Friday, Sept. 12, and he is facing charges of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm and obstruction of justice, according to court records obtained by USA TODAY. Prosecutors are expected to formally file charges against Robinson at his first court appearance on Tuesday, Sept. 16, according to Christopher Ballard of the Utah County Attorney’s Office.
Following Kirk's murder, many gave their condolences, including President Donald Trump, while others did the opposite and shared negative opinions about the 31-year-old Turning Point USA co-founder. One of the naysayers was Anthony Pough, a Secret Service agent who wrote in a Facebook post on Sept. 10 that Kirk "spewed hate and racism on his show," which is called "The Charlie Kirk Show," CBS News and Fox News reported.
"At the end of the day, you answer to GOD, and speak things into existence. You can only circumvent karma, she doesnt leave," Pough's post about Kirk read, per the outlets.

And another one. Good thing I don't work any more, because that's pretty much what I said.
