A mass “doxing” effort to track down, intimidate and harass people perceived not to have sufficiently mourned the killing of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk was endorsed on Monday by JD Vance.
The US vice-president guest-hosted Kirk’s podcast on Monday and said that people who “see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder” should “call them out”. He added: “Hell, call their employer. We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility, and there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”
How is it not a violation of the first Amendment for the Vice President to go after people for their speech?
I mean, it totally is, but the Supreme Court has already shown they will rubber-stamp anything this administration does, so there’s not really anyone that can stop it.
The VP isn’t going after people in this instance. He’s saying that civilians going after people is cool with him.
Kirk would probably want him executed for something like this
