The US Undersecretary of State, Christopher Landau, says “appropriate action” will be taken against “foreigners who glorify violence”.
In a post on X, Landau says he has been “disgusted” to see comments on social media “praising, rationalising or making light” of the killing of Charlie Kirk and those who “glorify violence and hatred” are “not welcome visitors” to the country.
He says he has directed consular officials to “undertake appropriate action” and tells his followers “to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the State Department can protect the American people”.
In a response to a tweet, Landau then says he will direct consular officials to monitor the comments to his post.
Posted in World News because it seems to imply the US is going to be asserting of some kind of universal jurisdiction against …internet trolling?
Seems to be what the text says… and let’s not forget the US president is not afraid of economical or military action.
My best guess is that the text is a misrepresentation, because Trump’s speech was completely focused on exterminating people inside the US borders. But without that context, yes, looks like it’s about every other country.
I’m American, and I will continue to shit talk and joke about Kirk and any fascist who meets the same fate. Fuck your feelings to the fuck your feelings crowd.
Fuck your free speech in particular.
Who’s a fragile little tiny fascist? It’s you? It’s you!
US citizen here
That was such a glorious shot and it’s glorious he is dead! We need more fascists to be kirked.
Doesn’t the US have a constitutional amendment for this (maybe even the first one)?
I’d think the “originalists” would be all for this.
Does he think people even want to go to the US?
Even before Trump, the US was a shithole, but now it’s a fascist Nazi shithole I have no interest in ever visiting again. Everybody I know is avoiding the US. It’s a dead country until its citizens can step-up and take the country back from the criminals in power via force, as violent as needed.
Thanks but I didn’t need a 17th reason why I’ll never set foot in the US.
Action to be taken against ‘foreigners who glorify violence’ - [US] undersecretary of state
So MAGA will be held accountable, right?
Hahahahaha yeah you cry baby fuck, hang a big “no internet meanies” sign at the airports as well 😂😂
I’m posting stuff now that it’s banned for foreigners. I was keeping the least sympathetic thoughts quiet, but not anymore. Gonna celebrate 9/10 every year too, let’s get a national holiday going.
Hey Landau! Go fuck yourself! I’m not visiting your fascist dystopia anyway! I’ll gladly visit once you’re all dead!
And this is why I switched my registration back to Libertarian and I’m left leaning Libertarian. I don’t want any association with the Democratic party. Having the President blame the Dems with no evidence over Kirk could make this a Franz Ferdinand style incident into a political war in our country.
I won’t mourn him but you can’t kill an ideology. I worry more about the fallout of this and counter reaction from the right…
