In a shocking wave of fallout after the tragic murder of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk on September 10th, a string of public figures found themselves out of jobs for cheering or mocking his death online. From MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd to an assistant dean at Middle Tennessee State University and even a Cincinnati barbecue co-owner, Aaron Sharpe, their callous social media posts sparked swift backlash, costing them their positions. The uproar mirrors the public’s reaction to the 2024 Trump assassination attempt, with USC professor Karen North warning that reckless online comments can torch careers. Meanwhile, Turning Point USA hailed Kirk as a fearless leader and mentor, urging supporters to rally in prayer for his grieving family.
