Turning Point USA is calling for the NBA to fire an employee who posted crude remarks about Charlie Kirk's assassination on social media. Kirk founded TPUSA, a nonprofit organization that focuses on conservative values in high schools and colleges, in 2012. He was shot and killed at Utah Valley University while debating at a campus event on Sept. 10. An NBA employee was suspended two weeks without pay for "violating multiple NBA policies" following crude posts about Kirk's assassination, but TPUSA wants more.
A league spokesperson told OutKick on Wednesday: 'The project employee has been suspended without pay for two weeks for violating multiple NBA policies.' It's alleged the unnamed employee shared Facebook and Instagram stories mocking Kirk after he was shot dead in Utah on September 10. The posts reportedly called Kirk a 'terrible person' and a 's***hole'. According to OutKick, a screenshot of Kirk from the @RogueDNC Instagram account was accompanied by the caption, 'What is Charlie Kirk's legacy?' The employee then followed up by commenting: 'Did absolutely nothing healthy for the world except spew dangerous rhetoric… There is no legacy… he was a terrible person (a s***hole).' Another post read: 'Oh I also forgot to include "thoughts and prayers" LMAO.'
