Please cite a single example of someone being fired for quoting Charlie Kirk verbatim without any celebratory tone.

The post is reproduced in the article, in its apparent entirety. Zero celebration I can detect.

Now what?

  • Very interesting. I stand corrected. I will note, however, that this is literally the only example I've seen of someone getting fired for a legitimately non-celebratory remark. We've got a legal system for stuff like that. For every single example you could give me, I can give you at least a thousand counterexamples. 99.9% of all the folks being fired are getting fired for being reprehensible.

  • The immediate aftermath of someone's death is not the time to critique them, gently or not. Total lack of decorum and social sense. Not fit to teach young children.
