Marine Corps officials are investigating whether a recruiter made an insulting social media post about conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed on Wednesday while giving a speech in Utah.

An image posted on the unofficial Marine subreddit page appears to show the recruiter sharing a meme on Instagram that includes a picture of Kirk with the caption, “Another racist man popped.”

Marine Corps officials said Thursday they were aware of “a social media post last night that does not align with our core values,” said Capt. Austin Gallegos,a spokesman for the Corps’ Western Recruiting Region.
