“The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.”

Legit.ng earlier reported that there are no fewer than seven social media posts that could ruin people's US visa applications.

US visa applicants are expected to submit their social media usernames when completing Form DS-160 and ensure their accounts are set to public.

This is based on the new US visa rules that require applicants to list all social media usernames used in the past five years.

The US Department listed the affected foreigners to include:

  1. An Argentine national said that Kirk “devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and deserves to burn in hell.
  2. A South African national mocked Americans grieving the loss of Kirk, saying “they’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom” and alleging “he was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.”
  3. A Mexican national said that Kirk “died being a racist, he died being a misogynist,” and stated that “there are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead.”
  4. A Brazilian national charged that “Charlie Kirk was the reason for a N@zi rally where they marched in homage to him” and that Kirk “DIED TOO LATE.”
  5. A German national celebrated Kirk’s death and attempted to justify his murder, writing, “when fascists die, democrats don’t complain.”
  6. A Paraguayan national charged that “Charlie Kirk was a son of a b**** and he died by his own rules.”
