Dozens Fired Over Response To Charlie Kirk Assassination

The response from the Left to the assassination of conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has been nothing short of sickening. They have justified and even celebrated his death — and some have begun to face consequences for their actions.

MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd was the first domino to fall, after he essentially argued during live coverage of the assassination that Kirk had encouraged the politically-motivated violence that claimed his life.

MSNBC just FIRED Matthew Dowd for his vile, disgusting comments with Katy Tur. Good.

Next, do Katy Tur.

And CNN it’s time to show the door to Van Jones too. These propaganda peddlers have poisoned America long enough. https://t.co/bSEIjaADI6 pic.twitter.com/nwER8o1eyv

Following Dowd’s ouster, MSNBC sent a letter to all employees urging them to “do better,” Matthew Foldi reported. “A letter was sent to all MSNBC staff admonishing them & saying they ‘need to do better’ following Matthew Dowd’s firing for his heinous comments about Charlie Kirk,” he posted.

Rare win from corporate media executives.

An Office Depot employee was also terminated over the weekend for refusing to print a poster of Kirk for a prayer vigil, telling members of the group Michigan Forward that the poster was “political propaganda.” The poster in question featured a photo of Kirk along with the words, “The Legendary Charlie Kirk, 1993-2025.”

Other reports indicated that an advisory board member at Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow’s charitable foundation was terminated for posts celebrating Kirk’s murder, as was a communications specialist with the Carolina Panthers. A number of others have either been terminated or suspended — and calls are still going out for more to come.

Clemson University stopped short of firing anyone who posted celebratory comments after Kirk’s murder, saying in a statement that unless the post was considered to be a “genuine threat which is not protected by the Constitution,” there was no need for the university to take any action.
