A medical center caught in the crosshairs of an internet meltdown caused by one of its employees who cussed out a Target worker for wearing a Charlie Kirk T-shirt said that it was overwhelmed by thousands of “profanity-laced” messages.Mike Wiltermood, president and CEO of California-based Enloe Health, said at a press conference Wednesday that the medical center had received more than 6,000 “profanity-laced” messages since the video went viral earlier in the day.Wiltermood pleaded with the public to stop calling the center’s primary phone number, as the repeated calls “impeded our ability to serve patients and their families.”
Thursday will mark one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a leftist on a Utah college campus. A day that should be one of reflection and national unity is instead reportedly being used by Georgetown University students to hold a Charlie Kirk look-alike contest.Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital that the event is meant to mock Kirk, while a Georgetown University spokesman said that “making light of a victim of violence is counter to our values and deeply disappointing,” according to the New York Post.Perhaps the ghoulish display of celebration of an assassination on Georgetown’s campus is unsurprising given that immediately after Kirk’s assassination, someone posted a flyer from the John Brown Club celebrating the political violence. The sign read: “Hey, Fascist! Catch! The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.” As The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood pointed out, the phrase “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” refers to the engraving on one of the bullet casings that Kirk’s alleged killer planned to use in his attack. (The John Brown Club was not on the list of student clubs recognized by Georgetown at the time, as Fleetwood reported).
One year after Charlie Kirk's death, the professional fallout is still being measured in court cases, settlement payments, and careers that have yet to recover.More than 600 people faced professional consequences, including firing, suspension, or investigation, after social media posts about Kirk's death, according to a Reuters investigation. The Intercept separately spoke with five people affected by the firings and four attorneys representing seven others, finding that several remain out of work or unable to return to their previous careers.The cases reveal a longer-lasting consequence of the backlash: political disputes that began online have moved into workplaces, universities, and courtrooms, leaving some people fighting to recover jobs, income, and professional standing.
