Widespread criticism of political violence resulted from the episode, which rocked the United States.
Additionally, Kirk’s passing sparked a range of conflicting sentiments worldwide.
In recent development, The US State Department stated that it has “no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans” in an X post late on Tuesday.
“The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the statement reads.
Following this was a litany of screenshots and critical comments from six social media accounts—which the State Department claimed belonged to people in South Africa, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, and Paraguay.
The South African claimed Kirk was “used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist caravan trash” and that Americans were “hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom.”
All visas were declared revoked.
The announcement coincided with Charlie Kirk’s posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom award from Trump on Tuesday.
The action also coincides with the US tightening its standards for foreign visas.
