Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) delivered a letter to social media leaders demanding the immediate removal of posts and accounts that celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Christian, conservative leader whose work and legacy touched tens of millions of Americans.
“Please be advised that your platforms are rightfully expected to expeditiously remove all posts that have celebrated the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. Further, the authors of these posts are to be identified and banned from your platform, as well as any new pages they may create,” Congressman Higgins wrote.
“Gleeful celebration of the heinous murder of an American citizen, brazenly published within the public forums of social media, is not to be tolerated within the accepted and legal parameters of a free and humane society, and I have initiated a Congressional effort to force accountability,” Congressman Higgins continued. “If you shield these offenders, section 230 will not protect your platform from vigorous exposure.”
