The Pentagon Service, the “Takil”, says the civilians who celebrate the murder of Charlie Kerk
Defense Minister Beit Higseth warns of civil and military employees that the Pentagon “tracks” any comments from them celebrating or mocking the assassination of Wednesday from conservative activist Charlie Kerk.
“We are closely following all these things – and we will deal with them immediately,” he wrote on Thursday.
Higseth was responding to a statement issued by the chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, who said earlier that “it is unacceptable for military personnel and war civilians to celebrate or make fun of the assassination of an American colleague. Do not forgive that, using the Trump administration’s preferred name for the defense management.
They did not mention any specific examples of employees whose reaction was to Kirk’s death.
Kirk, co -founder of the 31 -year -old Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck on the campus of Utah Valley on Wednesday. After the search, officials identified the suspect in the role of Tyler Robinson, a 22 -year -old man in Utah.
Each of the Republican and Democratic Political figures – including all the lively presidents of the United States – condemned the assassination of Kirk, but a small number of social media users mocked or celebrated murder, which led to anger.
Military services chiefs have also warned those under them that any inappropriate comments on Kirk will get revenge. Maritime Minister John Villan Sea, Marine and Civilians warned, “they will be dealt with quickly and decisive” if they bring “defamation” to the department.
“I am familiar with the jobs that show contempt for an assassinated American colleague,” he wrote on the social platform X late on Thursday. “I want to be very clear: Any unified or civilian employee in the Ministry of Navy who behaves in a manner that brings reputation, [U.S. Navy] or [Marine Corps]It will be dealt with quickly and decisive. “
Meanwhile, the official letter of the American Coast Guard said that he “realizes the inappropriate personal social media activity provided by a member regarding the recent political violence,” although it has not provided details.
“The social media activity is inconsistent with our basic values. With the support of the Ministry of National Security, we are actively verifying this activity and we will take the appropriate measure to hold the individual accountable,” according to The Post. “We realize that this damage can be caused by such behavior and remains constant in ensuring that the behavior of our employees reflects the confidence and responsibility that the American people put in us.”
