Prominent opinion columnist and editor Karen Attiah has been fired from The Washington Post over a series of posts she wrote following the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Attiah, 39, said she was sacked last week over the 'unacceptable social media posts' in the wake of the conservative commentator's assassination in Utah.
One read: 'Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.'
Another of the posts, on social media platform Bluesky, said: 'Refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is…. not the same as violence.'
The journalist revealed her firing in a lengthy post on Substack on Monday, which she titled 'The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced.'
'The Post accused my measured Bluesky posts of being "unacceptable," "gross misconduct" and of endangering the physical safety of colleagues — charges without evidence, which I reject completely as false,' Attiah wrote.
'They rushed to fire me without even a conversation. This was not only a hasty overreach, but a violation of the very standards of journalistic fairness and rigor the Post claims to uphold.'

Well, bye...
You think she would learn after the first post got her fired....

Stomping out crazies at the Compost is like chasing down ants at a picnic.
That woman, like so many others, deserved to be fired.
Now she needs to be put completely outside the camp.

These folks are outraged they face job loss as a consequence of expressing their opinions about a man who lost his life for expressing his opinion. The irony is huge.
Attiah is a Syrian name. But she is clearly a black African. Likely married to a Mooselimb. Leftwing Freaks should NEVER be employed anywhere.
But Yogi says, yes it is them again.
I would say too bad but that might be in poor taste.
