"Vice President JD Vance passionately urged Americans to call the employers of the terrorist sympathizers who are celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder, saying it will send a message that their heartlessness is not welcome in a civil society. Vance shared his thoughts on how to handle people who have mocked the conservative activist after he was shot and killed in Utah last week during a scorched-earth rant at the end of The Charlie Kirk Show, which he was hosting on Rumble on Monday."
"When you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them out. And hell, call their employer, Vance said. We don't believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility. And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination. His comment comes after a number of companies, including Nasdaq, Office Depot, and MSNBC have fired employees for their comments following Kirk's slaying."
"The vice president, a few minutes earlier, said the data is clear: Democrats and left-wing Americans are much more likely to defend and celebrate political violence than Republicans. He pointed to one poll that showed 26% of young liberals believe political violence is sometimes justified, compared to only 7% of young conservatives who felt the same way. This is not a both-sides problem, Vance said."

Companies including Nasdaq, Office Depot, and MSNBC fired employees over comments celebrating the slaying. Polling was referenced showing 26% of young liberals believe political violence is sometimes justified, compared with 7% of young conservatives. Examples cited included Kirk's murder, the 2017 attempt on House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and alleged assassination attempts against President Donald Trump. Efforts were described to dismantle left-wing organizations perceived as promoting or tolerating political violence.
