In the days following Charlie Kirk’s fatal shooting, many people took to social media to share their feelings and thoughts.
People expressed sorrow, shock and anger. They shared critiques of Kirk’s conservative views. In some cases, what people said or posted about his death got them in trouble at work.
Last week ABC pulled comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s show off the air “indefinitely” after Kimmel’s comments on how MAGA was characterizing Kirk’s killer. The announcement came just hours after the chair of the Federal Communications Commission suggested in a podcast that the F.C.C. could use its power against ABC unless the network acted against Kimmel.
