An anonymously registered website aiming to “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” asked for tips on people who were “supporting political violence online,” the Associated Press reported. The site had published a list on Thursday of social media posts with the names, locations and employers of the posters. Some posts included inflammatory language but others did not seem to be celebrating the shooting or glorifying violence, according to the AP.

Several right-wing activists have also begun compiling their own lists.

“I will be spending my night making everyone I find online who celebrates his death Famous, so prepare to have your whole future professional aspirations ruined if you are sick enough to celebrate his death,” far-right influencer and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer posted on X.

Scott Presler, a conservative activist and former organizer for the Republican Party of Virginia before the 2016 elections, asked his over two million followers to provide tips on teachers celebrating Kirk’s death, and he shared posts and social media profiles of alleged wrongdoers and, for some, their workplaces.
