The Trump administration continues exploiting the death of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk to wage war against freedom of expression.
The State Department announced Tuesday that it has revoked visas from six people for making comments on social media about Kirk and the hate he spewed.
“The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans,” the department wrote on X. “The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.”
The action fulfilled threats from President Donald Trump and members of his administration to use the power of the government to silence dissent in the days following Kirk’s killing.
In one X post, the State Department reshared one of the messages that it found to be offensive.
