NEW: Shocking Secret Service Post Celebrates Kirk Assassination as 'Karma' Amid National Manhunt

Washington, D.C. – September 11, 2025  A current U.S. Secret Service agent has been exposed for posting on Facebook that conservative activist Charlie Kirk "deserved" his fatal shooting, labeling the brazen assassination as "karma" for allegedly spreading hate and racism. The incendiary comment, first uncovered by RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree, surfaced just one day after Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was gunned down in what officials have decried as a targeted political hit at Utah Valley University.

The post, attributed to Secret Service agent Anthony Pough, quickly went viral on social media platforms, drawing swift condemnation from lawmakers, law enforcement insiders, and even fellow agents. "This is beyond unacceptable—it's a betrayal of the oath every Secret Service member takes to protect all Americans, regardless of politics," said Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who called for Pough's immediate dismissal. Calls to fire the agent have flooded the Department of Homeland Security, with conservative commentator Dan Bongino tagging FBI Director Kash Patel on X, demanding action: "A CURRENT Secret Service agent has been caught publicly stating Charlie Kirk DESERVED to be killed."

Pough's post, shared in a private Facebook group before being leaked, reportedly read: "Karma finally caught up to that racist hack Charlie Kirk. He spread nothing but hate, and now he's gone. Good riddance." The agent, who remains on active duty protecting high-profile figures including President Donald Trump, has not publicly responded to the allegations. Sources within the Secret Service told The Digital Free Press that colleagues are "furious," viewing the remarks as a direct threat to the agency's impartiality amid a surge in political violence.

The controversy erupted against the backdrop of Kirk's shocking death on Wednesday afternoon, when a lone gunman fired a single shot from a rooftop approximately 200 yards away, striking the Trump ally in the neck as he addressed a crowd of thousands at an outdoor "Prove Me Wrong" debate event. Witnesses described pandemonium: Kirk slumping backward amid screams, blood pooling on the stage, and attendees scrambling for cover as FBI and local SWAT teams swarmed the Orem, Utah, campus. "I saw a bunch of blood come out of Charlie," recounted eyewitness Justin Hickens to NBC News. Kirk was pronounced dead two hours later at a nearby hospital, leaving behind his wife Erika and two young children.

President Trump, who hailed Kirk as the "Trump whisperer" and a key architect of his administration's youth outreach, announced the news himself on Truth Social late Wednesday: "The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead... He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me." In a White House video statement Thursday, Trump vowed to posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, while blasting "radical left rhetoric" for fueling the attack. "I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination," he said, echoing Utah Gov. Spencer Cox's description of the killing as a "political assassination."

The FBI's investigation remains in overdrive, with a $100,000 reward offered for information leading to the shooter's arrest. Authorities released images of a "person of interest"—a man in all-black attire seen fleeing the scene—and urged the public to submit tips via an online portal. Early confusion marked the probe: Two individuals were briefly detained and released, and Director Patel initially announced a suspect in custody before retracting the statement hours later, citing insufficient evidence. "We are following all leads," Salt Lake City FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls said at a Thursday press conference, flanked by Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Bo Mason.Kirk's assassination has amplified fears of escalating political violence in America, coming just months after two assassination attempts on Trump and the fatal shooting of Minnesota Democratic state legislators earlier this year. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose father and uncle fell to assassins in the 1960s, mourned Kirk as a "relentless and courageous crusader for free speech." UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer echoed global dismay, posting on X: "There can be no justification for political violence."

Social media has been a double-edged sword in the aftermath. Graphic videos of the shooting, first posted to X, amassed over 11 million views within hours before platforms like YouTube and Instagram began age-restricting or removing them at the behest of Kirk's family and allies. Elon Musk's X defended its stance, tweeting: "We will continue to stand against violence and censorship, ensuring this platform amplifies truth and open dialogue for everyone." Yet, Rep. Luna demanded takedowns across X, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, arguing, "No one should be forced to relive this tragedy online."

As the manhunt intensifies and Pough's post prompts an internal Secret Service review, the nation grapples with a stark reminder of division's deadly toll. Kirk, a polarizing figure known for his fiery campus debates and role in mobilizing young conservatives, leaves a legacy Trump called "the Heart of the Youth in the United States." For now, questions swirl: Who pulled the trigger, and how deep does the rot run in institutions sworn to protect us all?
