A Secret Service agent has been placed on leave after his comments on social media following the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

“If you are mourning this guy .. delete me,” Anthony Pough wrote on Facebook following the Sept. 10 killing of Kirk at a university in Utah. “He spewed hate and racism on his show.”
