‘Gratitude is everything’ for Lucius Q co-owner Aaron Sharpe
Posted on 09/12/2025 5:20:10 PM PDT by Libloather
A popular Ohio barbecue restaurant is facing major backlash after one of its co-owners called conservative activist Charlie Kirk a "piece of s---" in a social media post after his assassination.
Shortly after Kirk, 31, was shot Wednesday while speaking at a campus event in Utah, Aaron Sharpe, co-owner of Lucius Q in Cincinnati, commented on a Facebook post from someone offering prayers for the husband and father of two.
"Good riddance," Sharpe wrote in a post that is no longer publicly visible but has been circulated widely online in screenshots. "What a piece of s---," he added.
On Wednesday evening, Sharpe doubled down on Facebook, posting, "Don't you dare come at me with your hypocrisy. … If you think that threats of social media attacks on me or my business will in any way keep me silent about what I believe, you are sorely mistaken."
Many of his social media posts expressed criticism of President Donald Trump, who was an ally of Kirk. A 22-year-old suspect in Kirk's assassination has been arrested, law enforcement officials said Friday.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Sharpe for comment. By late Friday morning, his Facebook account appeared to be deactivated.
On Thursday, several of Lucius Q's business partners announced they had cut ties with the restaurant. Lucius Q later announced it had parted ways with Sharpe.
Cincinnati's TQL Stadium, home to Major League Soccer's FC Cincinnati and is a former Lucius Q vendor site, took to social media saying it had terminated its relationship with the restaurant.

That’s a shame...... :; )
The left prefer screams and curses over thoughts and prayers.
We need to hold all of the leftoids accountable for what they do. They can believe and say what they want, but they are going to be held accountable and deal with whatever legal and societal consequences there are to what they do.
Lucius Q in Cincinnati - hell should freeze over before a conservative steps foot in that filthy cesspool of hate and vomit.
Don’t these people understand they are alienating half their customer base?
Any political assassination should at least bring out an ounce of compassion. We know which group doesn’t even have that ounce.
It’s like all of these morons think they are contestants on the old reality show called “Fire Me, Please.” That show was hilarious and the contestants competed for a good chunk of money. These nitwits are just racing for the unemployment line.
Yeah, they’re Finding Out.
“””Don’t these people understand they are alienating half their customer base?”””
No, Jim. They are retarded.
I’m amazed how stupid some business men and women are. If you hold such reprehensible vile opinions, it still costs nothing to keep your mouth shut. It can only hurt sales, not help them.
Like Michael Jordan said...Both sides buy sneakers.
“Boo Whooo”
“Yeah, they’re Finding Out.”
Somewhat subtle.....
The awful, rude, tasteless, and disgusting people making these offensive comments are the same ones cheering the shots at Trump in Butler. The media has conditioned them into reactive Pavlovian dogs when they hear the whistle. There is no thought, they just react as propaganda and gaslighting has replaced thought.
A local restaurant will no longer serve food at TQL Stadium following the termination of its relationship.
It comes after the co-owner made negative comments on social media regarding Charlie Kirk's death.https://t.co/DJpCuzB2w8 pic.twitter.com/ATSWngxj43— Local 12/WKRC-TV (@Local12) September 12, 2025
Good point.
After many years of nonstop propaganda.
