Ohio Democrat faces the reaction of Charlie Kirk’s posts after the assassination

A democrat who presents himself to be the best official of the application of laws in the state of Ohio is confronted with a reaction for a series of publications on social networks denigrating Charlie Kirk in the days which followed the assassination of the conservative activist.

“F *** Charlie Kirk”, Elliot forhan, Ohio Democratic candidate for the Attorney General and former state representative, published on Facebook on Monday, a few days after Kirk was shot down while speaking to a large gathering of students in a University in Utah.

“Charlie Kirk was a champion of tyranny, not democracy,” said forhan in another article. “We must not claim the opposite.”

In another Facebook entry, Forhan shared an article with the title: “Charlie Kirk was a champion of tyranny, not democracy. We must not claim the opposite.”

Forhan’s social networks on the social networks have caused a significant decline, both on the Internet and state republicans, many calling on him to withdraw from the race.

“No civil servant should say that on a human being, even less someone who has just been murdered,” the Ohio Attorney General of Ohio, the Republican Dave Yost told Fox News. “He just turned out to be a petuting and unruly child, poorly suited to the public service.”

Ohio Secretary of State, Frank Larose, a republican, told Fox News Digital that Forhan’s publications are “probably denying advertising designed to attract attention” and “score cheap political points”.

Larose added that “this kind of rhetoric” becomes more and more “common” in today’s Democratic Party.

“But this kind of rhetoric becomes too common in the Democratic Party, and it comes from a person looking to become their candidate for a high -level office,” continued Larose. “This type was literally the target of an investigation into the application of laws which described its behavior as a credible risk of degenerating to violence or violent conduct”. It must be monitored with care and to denounce aggressively.

Fox News Digital also spoke to the substitute of the lawyer for Ohio and the substitution of the National Republican Committee (RNC) Mehek Cooke, who said that forhan “should immediately withdraw” from the prosecutor’s race.

“The Ohio police officer must serve as a guardian and defender of justice, not a cheerleader for violence,” said Cooke. “A man who celebrates murder cannot give conferences to anyone on equality, equity or justice, and even less serving the Ohioans. It is a moral rot that we will not tolerate.”

“Violence is wrong,” said forhan in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“It was my very first declaration when I learned that Charlie Kirk was murdered. My thoughts and prayers were and are still with his family and loved ones. Glorifying Kirk and his movement of fanaticism and violence are also bad, but many public figures and even the NFL teams to repeat Charlie Kirk’s own words.”

Forhan continued: “The vice-president himself aims at the Americans of the host president of the Kirk podcast. I expressed the anger of the laundering of Kirk’s inheritance in matters of fanaticism and hatred. This is my first amendment.”

Forhan said he had been “targeted” by conservative influencers on online social networks.

“I have now received thousands of comments, sms, emails and vile vocal messages,” said forhan. “I am with the people that Charlie Kirk has targeted and that the Trump administration and other Republicans are targeting today.”

Forhan also told Fox News Digital that Yost should resign automatically and that Larose should abandon the race for the state auditor to “glorify the racism and fanaticism” of Kirk.

In the wake of the death of Kirk, many people in government and the private sector have been publicly called on social networks for having published comments mocking or celebrating the death of the conservative activist.

The White House is looking for additional security funds at the Congress for executive and judicial branches when it sails the consequences of the assassination, Fox News Digital reported this week.
