MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi is under fire after making controversial remarks about businesses refusing to print flyers for Charlie Kirk memorial events. Speaking on Fox News, Bondi declared that her Justice Department could potentially “prosecute” people who refuse to print Kirk posters, framing it as a civil rights issue.
The comments came after an incident in Michigan where an Office Depot employee declined to print vigil flyers. The company swiftly terminated the worker, but Bondi suggested even more legal consequences could follow. She claimed that her office’s Civil Rights unit, led by Harmeet Dhillon, is investigating the matter.
This reaction highlights a growing trend: in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination, many conservative figures are pushing beyond condemning the violence. They are demanding praise for Kirk while attacking those who criticize his rhetoric. Several people have already lost their jobs simply for sharing Kirk’s own words or expressing disapproval of his politics.
The irony is hard to ignore. For years, conservatives argued that bakers and business owners shouldn’t be forced to provide services for same-sex weddings. Now, the same voices insist that private businesses must produce flyers honoring a far-right commentator, regardless of employee objections.
Bondi has also promised to “target hate speech” after Kirk’s death. On The Katie Miller Podcast, she stated, “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society.” Critics point out that this is the opposite of what Kirk himself preached, as he often claimed that “hate speech doesn’t exist under U.S. law.”
The inconsistency is glaring: what was once “religious freedom” for refusing service is now “discrimination” if businesses don’t promote a MAGA cause. Many see this as less about principles and more about raw political power.
Meanwhile, Bondi still faces serious questions about her handling of the Epstein files and whether her office is protecting powerful political allies. For some observers, this sudden crusade over Kirk flyers looks less like justice and more like a convenient distraction.
