Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a strong stance against foreigners who celebrate violence against political figures. This statement comes in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, who was shot at a Turning Point USA event in Utah last week. Rubio’s comments were made during an interview with Fox News and were shared on social media.
Rubio emphasized that the U.S. will not tolerate individuals who cheer for acts of violence. He stated that the State Department is actively revoking visas for those who express support for the assassination of Kirk. “We should not be giving visas to people who are going to come to the United States and do things like celebrate the murder of a political figure,” he said.
The Secretary of State explained that the U.S. has high standards for those who wish to enter the country, whether as tourists or students. He made it clear that anyone who celebrates such acts of violence is not welcome. Rubio also pointed out that the actions of some U.S. citizens who support violence are troubling, but he stressed that foreigners who advocate for murder should definitely not be allowed in.
The announcement reflects a broader effort by Rubio’s State Department to review and revoke visas for foreigners involved in anti-American activities. This includes those with ties to terrorist organizations or who support oppressive regimes, such as the Chinese Communist Party. Rubio has also taken steps against foreign officials who help censor Americans.
As the situation develops, the focus remains on ensuring that the U.S. does not welcome individuals who promote violence or hatred. Rubio’s firm stance underscores a commitment to maintaining the integrity and safety of the nation.
