Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec uncovered a disturbing video of a State Department employee who went on a disgusting rant celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk while peddling lies about Kirk’s mission and words.
Preston Jacobs, listed as a financial auditor in the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Global Financial Services, said in a video, “Oh, God. And the f***ing whitewashing of… And let’s be very clear here, the world is a better place without Charlie Kirk.”
“That guy was a f***ing ghoul who promoted violence constantly. A f***ng horrible ghoul. That guy, the world is much better with him gone. I feel super bad for his daughters. But man, what a horrible human being that guy was.”
“Thank goodness he is out of this world.”
He continued while laughing, “Now, again, I do not support violence. But man, let’s not whitewash anything here. That guy was a piece of sh**, and the world is a much better place without him. Okay?”
He finished smiling and adding, “And again, violence is bad. I do not agree with any violence.”
“But the world is a better place without him.”
Hi @StateDept!
Is this your official Preston Jacobs celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk?

The Men of the West YouTube channel, which has almost 400k subscribers, on which Jacobs has participated, publicly distanced itself from his comments.
“My channel is a place of escapism to Tolkien’s works, I don’t discuss politics or many events in the real world. But I fully disavow the comments made by Preston Jacobs about a recent tragedy. Though we did LOTRxASOIAF podcasts in the past, I will not work with him in the future.”

The channel expressed horror at Jacobs’ statement, vowed not to work with him again, and will “pull/private any videos” they collaborated on with him.
Finally, I will try to pull/private any videos where I collaborated with him.
