United States (U.S.) vice president JD Vance said on Sep. 15 that the Donald Trump administration will take action against those that celebrate the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

"Call them out, and hell, call their employer", he said while hosting a tribute episode on Kirk's podcast show, The Charlie Kirk Show.

According to BBC, critics argued that such disciplinary measures pose risks to free speech and workers' rights.

"We don't believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility"

In the episode, Vance claimed that left-wing Americans are"much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence".

He also urged accountability for those glorifying Kirk's murder.

"We don't believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility," he added.

His comments came amid growing calls from Republican lawmakers for consequences against those who publicly rejoiced over Kirk's death.

So far, professionals across multiple industries including government employees have been suspended or fired for social media posts that were deemed inappropriate about Kirk's death.

Pilots, medical professionals, teachers and one Secret Service employee are among those who have faced such consequences.

According to BBC, some of these people include employees at an Office Depot branch in Michigan who had declined to print posters for Kirk's vigil.

Critics have argued that the actions threaten free speech and employee protections, although U.S. companies have broad authority to terminate employees.

Administration will work on"dismantling" such groups

Vance stated that the Trump Administration would “work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism within" the country.

He added that officials will"explore every option to bring real unity to our country and stop those who would kill their fellow Americans because they don't like what they say".

To date, there has been no clear or direct evidence linking Kirk's attacker to any organised group, reported The Guardian.

Nonetheless, prominent conservatives took the opportunity to blame the political left and declared it responsible for Kirk's killing.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller had claimed a"vast domestic terror movement" but has not provided proof to this.

He also outlined how the administration intends to use federal resources to tackle the issue.

"With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, (Department of) Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks," Miller said, adding that they would do this"in Charlie’s name".

Miller said he felt"incredible sadness, but there's incredible anger", and vowed to channel that"righteous anger" into confronting what he described as "organised campaign that led to this assassination".

He did not provide evidence or substantiation of his claims that there was an"organised campaign".
