The widespread work mantra has been that you have the right to remain silent - anything you say against Charlie Kirk can be used against you in a performance evaluation. Matthew Dowd got fired for essentially saying what goes around comes around and Perkins Coie fired an associate for saying that Charlie Kirk was "one of America's leading spreaders of hatred, misinformation, and intolerance" - guess the firm didn't think that truth was a strong enough defense.
Over the past several days, Tarrio told me, he has activated an "extremely effective" network of Proud Boys to scour the social web, find posts celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, identify the individuals involved, and persuade their employers to fire them. In many of these groups, people celebrate over growing tallies of firings, which they refer to as "scalps," he told me.
