"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,"
"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."
The U.S. government announced that foreigners who glorify the assassination will not be welcome and consular officials have been directed to take appropriate action. Social media posts praising, rationalizing, or making light of the killing provoked official disgust and triggered the consular directive. Leaders from both major parties condemned political violence following the death. The victim, Charlie Kirk, was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. Police reported a potential recovery of the weapon the morning after the attack, while the suspect remained at large. The shooting prompted chaos on the House floor and intensified political tensions.
