Attorney General Pam Bondi has threatened to prosecute a former private employee at Office Depot for refusing to print flyers for a Charlie Kirk vigil.

Office Depot fired an employee at its Portage store in Michigan two days ago after a video emerged of the staffer telling a customer, “We don’t print propaganda, it’s propaganda."

Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Bondi about free speech and the First Amendment on his Monday night show.

“Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said, referring to the Office Depot incident. “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.”
