NEW: Vice President JD Vance urged Americans to call the employers of people celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder: “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility. And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”….⤵️⤵️

In a bold statement that immediately set the nation talking, Vice President JD Vance urged Americans to take action against those openly celebrating the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Speaking during a press briefing, Vance emphasized the dangerous tone that has emerged online in the wake of the tragedy.

> “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility,” Vance declared. “And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination. If someone in your community, in your workplace, or on social media is treating this act as a joke, or worse, as a victory — I encourage you to call their employers. Employers deserve to know the kind of hate their employees are spreading.”

The Vice President’s remarks come as social media platforms have been flooded with polarized responses — some expressing grief and outrage, while others, disturbingly, applauded the assassination.

Critics of Vance’s statement argue that urging people to call employers may cross into free speech concerns, warning it could escalate political division even further. Supporters, however, praise him for taking a hard stance against what he described as “the normalization of violence in political discourse.”

The Vice President’s comments highlight the tense national climate as investigations continue into the shooting and as political leaders grapple with how to address not only the act itself but also the deeply divided reactions that followed.
