An employee at a Michigan Office Depot was fired after allegedly refusing to print posters for a vigil honoring Charlie Kirk, instead calling the material 'propaganda.'
The 31-year-old conservative firebrand was shot in the neck during a debate with a student about mass shootings, with horrifying footage showing him recoil from the impact before he was later pronounced dead.
On Friday afternoon, the Kalamazoo County Republican Party ordered posters of the slain father-of-two from an Office Depot in Portage, Michigan, ahead of a vigil honoring Kirk that night.
But nearly three hours after the order was placed, a supervisor named Beryl contacted organizers to say the action would not be completed, labeling the content as 'political propaganda.'
That night, attorney and Republican activist Matthew DePerno took to X to call out the company for what he described as blatant political bias.
'Hey @officedepot @OfficeMax do you think this is acceptable?' he wrote, sharing a photo of the $56.17 receipt for the canceled order.
Alongside the receipt, DePerno also shared a video taken inside the store, where he appeared to confront employees about the call he had received.
A woman he spoke with identified herself as one of the store’s managers and reiterated that the location 'doesn’t print political propaganda.'
DePerno defended his position, telling the seated employees that the flyers were for someone who had passed away and were specifically intended for a prayer vigil scheduled that night.
Even after hearing that, the woman maintained that the store does not print materials like that.

“D***> move their emplyee, who could have caused many employes their job as a boycott would have ensued, as a result
Stupid smart phone
Ought to be a simple task to fact-check that statement!
Regards,
I have personally printed political materials at Office Depot. Even if this were for that, instead of a prayer vigil (which is materially different), Office Depot used to be glad to get the business.
Everyone involved needs to be looking for a job.
don’t you bet office depot is terrified their stock is going to crash. Not even Sydney Sweeney’s boobs could save it
Fat, dumb and black - life’s tough pilgrim
Upon hearing of the incident last night, FEDEX printed the flyers for free.
BTW, Office Depot stock closed at $20.73 yesterday. That’s way too high for a company that discriminates in such a manner.
Office Depot finally put out a statement saying “that’s not who we are” and indicating the employee was no longer with the company.
As Greg Gutfeld said, “They assume that their opinion is widely accepted and condoned…”
Disgusting blob with nothing but hatred fueling it.
I am sick of these lazy, low IQ losers destroying America.
Here is the thing about democrats, trans, gays and the pedophiles they love so much:
they have NO PROBLEM advancing their cause on the back of their employer, school or group.
I blame the schools, businesses and their employers as it should be made clear that any damage done to the business because of sicko THEIR beliefs WILL be dealt with legally and financially. The KNOW who they are hiring and know many are loose cannons.
Are those men or women?
That was a rather quick response by OD. The OD worker messed with the wrong person and within minutes the decline to print the poster spread like wildfire on social media.
Office Depot would have been happy keeping this evil LGBTQWERTY thing employed there and they had to know what this outspoken woke leftist’s ideology was when they hired her/it. Hope the he’ll did that thing become a manager? So brazenly and confidently using their own misguided ideology to call flyers that were for someone that passed away 2 years ago for a vigil, propaganda.
Trannies, gays or freaks, oh my!
