A Marine Corps recruiter has been dismissed after sharing a social media post referring to the slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk as a „racist man“ who was „popped“, following a wave of online scrutiny and even warnings from the Pentagon. The post, which circulated widely among conservative social media accounts, drew swift condemnation from military and government officials, who underscored a policy of „zero tolerance“ for service members or Defense Department employees who celebrate or mock Kirk’s killing, per USA Today.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated on social media that the Pentagon is monitoring posts related to Kirk’s death and will respond immediately to any violations.
