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.

🚨 BREAKING: A searchable database will soon be released exposing over 50,000 leftists who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death, listing their names and employers. This is an increase from 30,000 and 40,000 in just a couple days. A lot of people are about to get fired.

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.

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.

:silly: :tongue2:

I am probably already on a few of their lists, and I think we Conservatives are behind that curve (The left already has them).

I donate to veterans groups, former member of the NRA, have posted my concise opinions on numerous forums about trans nonsense, extensively posted about topics from (Anthropogenic) Global Warming/Climate Change, signed the "Oregon Petition with over 34,000 other scientists opposing the Kyoto Accords, wrote quite a bit about COVID (in defiance of the narrative), etc. etc. etc.

But consider that anyone rooting for the death of any but the most heinous criminals convicted through Due Process is demonstrating a lack of empathy, in this case for his wife and kids, and a lack of conscience about publicly executing anyone they think they have a reason to disagree with (even though a lot of that is based on lies), really isn't the sort of person I'd want helping someone in a medical or teaching position, for starters. I would not want employees who can't hang onto their emotions and dogma enough to not cost me half the business that might walk in the door by not filling orders (like for posters for a vigil).
As for the owners of the various businesses that are firing people over this, they have the control of their business, they have the right to employ or not employ anyone they find to be exhibiting poor judgement, just as much as the nasty people who are celebrating the death of someone who would have treated them far better have a 'right' to post what they want in public forums, and suffer whatever consequences that come of that.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yes, unless it's libelous. I can't say you're a chomo for example.

And there it is. Who would want someone with such freely expressed callous disregard for human life, particularly the life of someone who calmly and rationally disagrees with them, as an employee?
Would you want them running your child's classroom?
Providing medical care?
Preparing your food?
Is this the image you would want your company to project?
There are a lot of professions where that expression of such deeply held and negative beliefs is only a harbinger of future problems.
Better to nip it in the bud.

And if they (Fed Judge) do, will they uphold a conservative's threat against them as the same?

Greg went off on Tarloff.  It was epic.  Never seen anything like it.  And I approved.

Most companies reserve the right to fire at will. With the exception of the poor souls saddled with union employees.

If you reflect poorly on the company...so long.

The company I worked for was ultra conservative. Although people may not have agreed with their philosophy, it really wasn't wise to strut around and run your mouth about things that could get you on the news and be tied to the company.

It's their right to maintain what image they want.
