Far-right extremist group leader says leftists being cancelled is ‘hypocritical’

Jimmy Kimmel Charlie Kirk Enrique Tarrio Proud Boys
  • Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio admitted it was “hypocritical” to cancel perceived leftists over their reactions to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, but that he considers it “an eye for an eye.”
  • Tarrio claims his network has led to over 100 people losing their jobs, referring to them as "scalps," with examples including an American Airlines pilot and a Texas Roadhouse operator.
  • Republican leaders, including Vice President JD Vance, have also urged the public to report individuals who mock or belittle Kirk's memory to their employers.
  • The backlash has impacted late-night television, leading to Jimmy Kimmel's show being pulled off air indefinitely after his comments, a decision celebrated by Trump.
  • Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder and six other counts in connection with Kirk's killing, with authorities noting his "leftist ideology".
