September 12, 2025
Nasdaq, one of the world's largest stock exchanges, terminated a senior sustainability and climate adviser after she appeared to celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
"Interrupting the euro trip content to say bleep charlie kirk," Lisa Schmidt, the now-former Nasdaq official, wrote in a social media post that began circulating Thursday. "Rest in piss."
Schmidt posted the comment on Instagram with a photo of herself flipping both middle fingers in a restaurant. The post was first shared online by Ryan Fournier, a conservative activist.
When asked for comment on Schmidt's post, Nasdaq referred the Washington Free Beacon to a statement it posted on X confirming she had been fired.
