Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday said the Justice Department was investigating an incident involving a Michigan Office Depot employee who refused to print flyers advertising a vigil for conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
“Businesses cannot discriminate. If you wanna go in and print posters with Charlie’s pictures on them for a vigil, you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that,” Bondi said during a Monday appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
“I have Harmeet Dhillon right now in our Civil Rights unit looking at that immediately, that Office Depot had done that. We’re looking it up,” she continued.
Office Depot said last week they removed the employee responsible for denying the order placed by the Kalamazoo County Republican Party.
“The behavior displayed by our associate is completely unacceptable and insensitive, violates our company policies, and does not reflect the values we uphold at Office Depot,” the company said in a statement online.e
