Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) vowed on Thursday to use congressional authority to “cancel” anyone who “belittled” the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In an X post, Higgins announced that he wants those making light of Kirk’s death to face lifetime social media bans, lose their driver’s licenses, and more.

Higgins wrote:

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. 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.

The congressman added that he wants the “evil, sick animals” to have their businesses blacklisted or for them to be kicked out of the schools they are attending. Higgins did not specify the actions that would accomplish these goals, but he said he’s starting immediately.

He wrote:

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. 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. I’m starting that today. That is all.

Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday while at an event on a Utah college campus. The Turning Point USA founder was 31 and left behind a wife and two children.
