A New Jersey nurse claims she was suspended for confronting a surgeon who allegedly celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declaring he 'had it coming.'
The 31-year-old conservative activist was shot in the neck during a debate with a student about mass shootings on Wednesday, with horrifying footage showing him recoil from the impact before he was later pronounced dead.
Lexi Kuenzle, a 33-year-old healthcare worker at Englewood Health, said that the news broke while she stood by the nurse’s station, surrounded by eight other nurses and a patient resting on a stretcher, according to The New York Post.
Shocked, Kuenzle exclaimed, ‘Oh my God! That’s terrible! I love him!’
But what general surgeon Dr. Matthew Jung said next may have shocked the Hoboken resident even more.
In response, Jung allegedly proclaimed: 'I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming. He deserved it.'
She recalled reminding the surgeon that he was a medical professional - and questioning how he could say someone deserved to die.
'It's mind-blowing to me,' Kuenzle told The Post on Saturday. 'I was so angry and upset.'
he nurse said she immediately reported Jung to hospital management, then went home and shared the incident on social media.
'This "DOCTOR" is a disgrace. Had the audacity to say "I'm glad, he deserved it" in front of a PATIENT/nursing station in regards to Charlie Kirk being murdered today,' Kuenzle wrote on a post shared to her Instagram Story.

I’ll bet he’s an illegal alien.
This surgeon deserves to have his medical license revoked. He believes an innocent man deserves to be publicly murdered in cold blood in front of his wife and daughter?
I hope this monster of a surgeon becomes quickly unemployed and unemployable and hounded for the rest of his life for his barbaric, public disregard for human life.
Just looked him up on Englewood Health website and got the error 404 message
How about health inspectors reviewing Sepsis claims and get another team of auditors to verify Medicare and Medicaid claims.
Bog them them down with audits until they can’t see straight. Then pour some more complaints from patients and add a few food health inspections.
Now that’s a nurse
Not guilty!
She can check my blood pressure anytime
“The nurse said she immediately reported Jung to hospital management, then went home and shared the incident on social media.”
I have to suspect she was suspended for violating rules against dragging the hospital into political controversy on social media, not for the substance of what she said.

Probably since this story broke everyone is going there and the site can’t handle the traffic.
Probably.
I do note that on the Englewood Health website, you cannot find a Matthew Jung.
I’m paging Nurse Mildred Ratched so Laz does not get any ideas
404 is page not found. An overloaded server is more likely you give a 500.
Some form of white coat syndrome might be a problem.
Too late. I'm taking her out Wednesday. Now that she's suspended without pay.... well hell, a girl's gotta eat!
Great to know your Doctor determines your treatment based upon you politics…..
I’m sending Nurse Mildred Ratched as her chaperone.
Hey, Doc, if Charlie Kirk had it coming then YOU have it coming.
Valid point.
