A wave of firings since far-right activist and propagandist Charlie Kirk’s murder has brought a harsh reminder that workers’ free speech rights go only as far as their bosses allow.
TV commentators, airline workers, nurses, police officers, teachers and others have faced suspensions or lost their jobs.
Top Trump administration officials and other Kirk allies have vowed to expose anyone who condones the killing and ensure they pay a price – though some people who have been fired insist they reject both the violence and Kirk’s views on race, gender norms and other hot button issues.
“When you see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, call them out,” Vice President JD Vance said Monday while guest hosting The Charlie Kirk Show. “Call their employer. We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility. And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”
Some, such as Erin Coyle, Associate Professor of Media Law at Arizona State University, believe that the firings conflict with “the philosophy of free expression” – but not with the constitutional right of free speech, which only protects against government interference.
“If a person working for a private corporation is fired based on what they posted because the corporation believes it reflects poorly on them, then there’s no government action there,” she said. “They don’t have First Amendment protection against their private employer’s actions.”
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed September 10th while speaking at Utah Valley University. Prosecutors said Tuesday they will seek the death penalty for suspect Tyler Robinson.
Kirk, who lived in Phoenix, co-founded Turning Point USA and built it into a widely influential youth organization with chapters at hundreds of colleges.
Media
Disney/ABC
On September 17th, Walt Disney-owned ABC announced it would indefinitely suspend “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for comments he made about the reaction to Kirk’s killing on his late night show. Those comments drew the ire of the head of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr who warned that ABC’s broadcast license could be revoked.
Office Depot
Office Depot fired an employee at one of its Michigan locations after a viral video showed staff refusing to print posters for a Kirk vigil.
The company told Fox News that it was “deeply concerned” by the incident that took place at its Portage store.
Office Depot said that Friday night that an “immediate internal review” was launched, and the employee involved in the incident is “no longer with the organization.” The company also said it reached out to the customer as soon as it learned of the incident “to address their concerns and seek to fulfill their order to their satisfaction.”
On Monday, the attorney general, Pam Bondi, threatened to prosecute the Office Depot employee.
MSNBC
Political analyst Matthew Dowd was seen as the first of many figures to face consequences for his comments.
Dowd was fired from the network after his comments during MSNBC’s coverage of the shooting. Dowd was asked about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.”
In response, Dowd said:
“He’s [Kirk] been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”
Washington Post
The Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah said on Monday that she was also fired over a series of social media posts “speaking out against political violence, racial double standards, and America’s apathy toward guns”.

He added: “We heal as a country when we send the message that glorifying political violence is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!.”
In a statement to the Guardian, American Airlines said it condemned “violence of any kind” and that “hate-related or hostile behavior runs contrary to our purpose, which is to care for people on life’s journey.
“Employees who promote such violence on social media were immediately removed from service,” they added. “We will continue to initiate action with team members who display this kind of behavior.”

Derek Hess, a restaurant manager, confirmed the firing to Fox News Digital.
“I totally support freedom of speech,” Hess said. He added the fired employee’s comment “demonized the murder of Charlie Kirk and made it seem that it was a good thing that happened.
“It also demonized half of the political spectrum. Employees felt uncomfortable coming to work knowing that someone in an authoritative position was going to be here [who] said those things on the internet.”
The manager didn’t reveal the former employee’s name, role or what was said in the post.
The Italian restaurant initially posted a statement on its social media accounts.
“We are aware of inappropriate social media posts made by a former employee regarding the tragic death of Charlie Kirk,” the statement read. “These posts were made by the individual acting in their personal capacity and in no way reflect the values, opinions or position of Giuseppe’s restaurants.
“We want to make it absolutely clear that we do not condone or support any communications that are disrespectful, inflammatory or that glorify violence. Such behavior runs counter to our core values of respect, integrity and professionalism,” the statement continued.
“As soon as we became aware of these posts, we took immediate and appropriate action, resulting in the termination of the employee’s employment with our company.”
The restaurant went on to say that it is “committed to maintaining a workplace culture that upholds the highest standards of professional conduct, both within our organization and in how we represent ourselves to the broader community.
“Giuseppe’s Cucina Rustica remains dedicated to serving our customers and community with dignity and respect,” the statement concluded. “We thank you for your understanding as we addressed this matter promptly and decisively.”

While the school district did not share any details about the posts, they emphasized that the posts “do not reflect the outstanding professionalism demonstrated by the vast majority of Cobb educators daily.”

The school district’s social media policy reads that, while it recognizes the value in social media, employees must use platforms “respectfully and ethically to avoid harming the reputations of themselves and colleagues, as well as the reputation of the District.”

A middle school science teacher in the Forest Grove School District has been placed on administrative leave and resigned from his local city council role after suggesting in a Facebook post that Kirk was “asking” to be shot and killed.
After learning that Kirk had died, John Colgan, a science teacher at Neil Armstrong Middle school and a Cornelius city councilor, apparently posted about the shooting on his personal Facebook page.
“Hearing that Charlie Kirk got shot and died really brightened up my day,” Colgan wrote in the original post. “Nobody deserves it, but some are asking for it.”
“Edit: For anyone else that wants to creep my wall and tell me how upsetting this is, Charlie was a f—ing ghoul who got on tv after every school shooting and mass shooting and defended guns,” Colgan later added. “He’d want us to support the gun in this case. See more in comments.”
While Colgan’s profile no longer appeared searchable on Facebook by early Thursday afternoon, screengrabs of the post were making the rounds among social media users at the time, many of them calling for Colgan to be punished by his employer, the Forest Grove School District.
“Students should not be taught anything remotely close to this,” one Facebook user sharing the screengrab wrote. “If this is his mindset, I cannot imagine what he is teaching in the classroom when no one is watching.”
Vassar School District
The Vassar, Michigan school district has placed one of its teachers on administrative leave after they made a social media post following the death of Kirk that district officials said, “raised concerns within our community.”

“This morning the staff member in question was placed on administrative leave as the district conducts a thorough investigation” the letter reads. “We are working with our legal counsel to determine next steps.
“The death of Mr. Kirk is a tragedy, and the district does not condone violence of any kind. Over the past several months we have worked tirelessly to build trust with our community. We will continue to strive to communicate openly and provide as much detail as possible when matters arise that have a broad impact on our families.”
