Inappropriate comments about Charlie Kirk assassination gets workers fired
Workers lose jobs following controversial Charlie Kirk comments

By Daniella Genovese , Sophia Compton FOXBusiness


A growing number of individuals are facing professional consequences, from being fired or placed on administrative leave, for public comments they made in the wake of the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

After the 31-year-old CEO of Turning Point USA was shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, a growing list of political leaders, business figures and media outlets across the spectrum condemned the political violence.

But others cited Kirk’s political views as a reason not to mourn his death, which critics argued minimized or excused the violence. At the same time, others used it as an opportunity to highlight the rise in shootings, particularly those claiming the lives of children.

MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd was seen as the first of many figures to face consequences for his comments, but the list quickly grew.

One of those who made vile comments after Charlie's death was the mayor of the small (2,400) town near our home. There will be a peaceful protest on Saturday, demanding his resignation. I plan to attend.

Can't wait for the left to do this kind of stuff. If you publically say something about Pride month, into the enemies list you go.

What makes you think that doesn’t already exist?

It does - and has existed for quite a while. What is "cancel culture" if not the left shutting down every single person who says the wrong thing, the wrong word?

They're already doing it.  Been doing it for the last eight years.
