“In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau wrote on Thursday morning on X.
“I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action,” he added.
Landau said, replying to dozens of comments, that he will direct consular officers to monitor comments reporting instances of online commentators appearing to joke about or celebrate Kirk’s death.
