"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 night 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."
"The vice-president was joined on Kirk's podcast by Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff, who also vowed to crack down on what he called the vast domestic terrorist network he blamed for Kirk's death. With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, homeland security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people."
JD Vance endorsed a mass doxing effort aimed at tracking, intimidating and harassing people perceived not to have sufficiently mourned the killing of Charlie Kirk. The US vice-president guest-hosted Kirk's podcast and urged people to call out those celebrating the murder and to contact their employers. An anonymous website collecting reports said it received more than 63,000 submissions and rebranded as the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation. Numerous workers across sectors have been fired for comments about Kirk's death. Trump allies have linked the killing without evidence to a leftwing terror movement, prompting fears of a crackdown on free speech. Stephen Miller vowed to use government resources to identify and dismantle alleged domestic networks. The shooter's political leanings remain unclear amid broader recent violence.
