  • Republicans warn against mocking Kirk's death, threaten dire consequences
  • At least 15 people fired or suspended for allegedly disrespecting Kirk's memory
  • 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.

That's not a "warning," that's a threat.

It is just and righteous to threaten them in kind and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

I’m sorry, I just don’t have the empathy to mourn Charlie Kirk. It would sully his memory.

I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage.
