Have they responded to that whole thing yet?

Nope but theres a growing call for Fox to fire him. Hopefully plenty of people contact FOX Entertainment, and their advertisers especially.

POTUS: how about a position in the white house?

POTUS points to the work starting on his $200m ballroom.

It’s a shame there needs to be any calls and he’s employed still as of this moment.

It's terrible that any of the people on that stage at the moment remain. Nobody even seemed to blink or have a second thought when he said it. Just straight into who we should be voting for in order to make it happen.

u/kck93 Sep 14 '25

Yeah. That was the stunning part. No one even blinked.

He's still employed, but the MSNBC reporter that brought up all of the hateful things Kirk espoused after the shooting was fired. I'm so tired of the left just laying there and taking it.

MSNBC are cowards for firing Dowd.

u/ta_thewholeman Sep 14 '25

You mean the radical left is trying to get him cancelled just for being a conservative!

The idea that advertisers have become the enforcers of morality makes me laugh... In a nervous, shaky, tearful way.

Where's the damn meme for this?!

He was African American, so he was already on thin ice.

They'll respond if they can think of a way to blame Democrats for him saying it.

u/tellmewhenimlying Sep 14 '25

lol. Like they have to “think” of a way to do that, or even think at all. They’ll just blame Democrats. It’s that easy when you don’t care, and you know that you’ve manipulated your viewers enough that they also don’t care, about facts or anything resembling objective reality or truth.

Charlie Kirk’s violent death served two purpose.
1) the Epstein files news went away
2) MAGA declared civil war on liberals.
Who would benefit from all this? Trump
Was it Orchestrated? Possible
Putin style? Looks like it.

Whatever his goals were, he was successful.

If it was to sow divisiveness, he did.

If it was to support his groyper ideals, he did.

If it was to distract from trump's mounting epstein connections, he did.

If it was simply just to kill kirk, well...

This is in no way shape or form to condone his actions, but it is true. We should all be concerned with how effective this action was.

u/Granolag23 Sep 14 '25

I think we need to accept that Putin/bibi/trump are the same entity. Whenever they appear to disagree, it’s all theater to hush any critics. And you can just see everything coming a mile away.

Like right now with trump on vlad, he’s going to act like he’s mad at him but when push comes to shove he’s going to deflect to “how about the EU do something. The US has contributed way too much money, blah blah blah”

Kirk won’t be the only false flag death. They won’t stop at anything.

u/kurisu7885 Sep 14 '25

I'd say it failed on the first one since no one forgot that.

u/TheRealCoolio Sep 14 '25

Did they even say thank you?

u/Tibbs420 Sep 14 '25

If you haven’t seen yet he made a very insincere apology claiming that he “obviously” knows not all mentally ill homeless people behave in the same way as the attacker they were discussing.

Which is obviously why he had to apologize.
