There's a Coordinated Effort to Get People Fired for Posting About Charlie Kirk's Murder
Social media posts celebrating Charlie Kirk's September 10 murder led to at least 15 firings across journalism, academia, and corporate sectors amid public backlash.
- Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during an event at a Utah university on Wednesday, and on Friday, Tyler Robinson was taken into custody as the primary individual implicated in the case.
- The murder sparked a public outrage campaign involving the website 'Charlie’s Murderers,' which opened an account on X on Friday to spotlight and seek firings of people posting joy over Kirk’s death.
- At least 15 individuals, including journalists, educators, and employees from companies such as American Airlines and Freddy’s Frozen Custard, lost or were put on leave from their jobs after sharing posts that celebrated or showed indifference toward the murder.
- The site claims nearly 30,000 submissions naming individuals who posted celebratory messages, and experts like Hank Teran note the site’s name implies responsibility for the murder, potentially inciting harassment.
- The organized efforts illustrate tensions around political violence online, with some officials supporting firings for such speech and academics calling the campaigns coordinated harassment amid heightened national polarization.
