The U.S. State Department will deny visas to individuals who are found to be celebrating the death of right-wing podcaster and activist Charlie Kirk, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Tuesday.
Rubio confirmed that the department would not issue visas to people who were "celebrating" the shooting death of Kirk.
“Why would we want to give a visa to someone who think it’s good that someone was murdered in the public square?
Last week Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau ordered department officials to "take appropriate action" in cases where people seeking visas made light of or rationalized Kirk's death.
It's also not clear how many visas may have been denied or revoked so far.
Officials push to revoke visas for migrants who praised Charlie Kirk's death.
Vice President JD Vance, while hosting Charlie Kirk's radio show on Monday, appeared to encourage pushback against people who "celebrated" Kirk's death. »
