Republican Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana indicated that he will leverage all of the power and influence he can bring to bear to target those who have "belittled" and "celebrated" the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The congressman indicated that he will push for the permanent social media deplatforming of such individuals and go after their businesses.
"I’m going to use Congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to mandate immediate ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk," Higgins asserted in the post on X. "If they ran their mouth with their smartass hatred celebrating the heinous murder of that beautiful young man who dedicated his whole life to delivering respectful conservative truth into the hearts of liberal enclave universities, armed only with a Bible and a microphone and a Constitution… those profiles must come down," he continued.
"So, I’m going to lean forward in this fight, demanding that big tech have zero tolerance for violent political hate content, the user to be banned from ALL PLATFORMS FOREVER," he added.
Higgins even said that their drivers licenses should be yanked.
"I’m also going after their business licenses and permitting, their businesses will be blacklisted aggressively, they should be kicked from every school, and their drivers licenses should be revoked. I’m basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination," he declared in the post on Thursday.
"I’m starting that today. That is all," he concluded.
