India, Sept. 13 -- An Office Depot worker in Portage, Michigan, declined to print a banner for a memorial honoring the late conservative pundit Charlie Kirk on Friday, claiming it was "propaganda." The firm apologised and fired the individual after facing the massive criticism.

Republican activist and lawyer Matthew DePerno said the Kalamazoo County Republican Party issued the order. However, the print supervisor at the store cancelled the order a few hours later. DePerno accused the business of censorship after sharing a video of the interaction along with a $56 receipt.

The video, which has gone viral on social media, drew over 1.1 million views, prompting Republican leaders and X user to call for a boycott of the store.
