Eric Adams Advocate Fired from City Job After Posts Critical of Charlie Kirk
The City ^ | 9/12/2025 | Yoav Gonen

Posted on 09/14/2025 1:19:12 PM PDT by simpson96

A longtime community advocate employed in the administration of Mayor Eric Adams was fired on Thursday after he posted critical remarks about right-wing activist Charlie Kirk a day following Kirk’s fatal shooting in Utah on Wednesday.

On his Facebook account, Tony Herbert reposted a meme that said: “CHARLIE KIRK SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE DISPARAGING IMMIGRANTS, DISRESPECTING WOMEN, AND BLAMING BLACK FOLKS, ONLY TO GET SHOT IN ONE OF THE WHITEST PLACES ON EARTH.”

In his posting Herbert added: “you hit the nail right on the head or should i say racist!!”

Herbert later shared a video saying he was happy about his prior post because it helped him identify people on his social media page who he now believes to be “racist.”

While he referred to the incident in Utah as an “unfortunate shooting of a human being,” he also said Kirk had “helped his own demise.”

“When you go out there and you talk about people and you talk about – and you know, become a racist – and you try to disguise that like you’re doing something for humanity, that’s a problem,” Herbert said in the posting. “And unfortunately karma has come to collect.”

Herbert, 61, who appears to have since removed the posts, didn’t respond to a phone call and text messages seeking comment.

He was on leave from his $105,000 position as a community liaison in the Adams administration when he was terminated, according to City Hall spokesperson Kayla Mamelak Altus, who noted that Herbert was not a direct report to Adams.

“We unequivocally denounce these remarks, which in no way reflect the values of the Adams administration,” she said in a statement.

I wonder when, or if, “right wing activist” will become “conservative advocate.”

Apparently, after socialism and communism failed, universities started calling Nazis “right wing.” The communists were rebranding, and they’ve been amazingly successful. I remember having this discussion with my high school history teacher and he should have known better, but he said I was wrong. Nazis were “right wing.”

They don’t, and they have to lie about him in order to justify their hatred of him. So why do the really hate him? Because he told the truth.

This tells me the democrat party doesn’t want to be identified with their killers and crazies.

They did not know Charlie one iota. That’s why the left has to make 💩 up about him....keeps the low info/IQ satisfied they’re “doing the right thing” by ASSASSINATING people who think differently. Expect more, keep your head on a swivel and CARRY at all times. These cowards aren’t gonna stop until we stop them.

I have to admit I knew little about Charlie until he was killed. I must have seen half a dozen TP videos now and these bozos that attack him didn’t even bother to research him. He was nothing like what they claim.

“CHARLIE KIRK SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE DISPARAGING IMMIGRANTS, DISRESPECTING WOMEN, AND BLAMING BLACK FOLKS, ONLY TO GET SHOT IN ONE OF THE WHITEST PLACES ON EARTH.”

I've seen perhaps 12-15 campus appearances plus one at Oxford in England on YouTube, and I NEVER saw Charlie Kirk do ANY of those things. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are not wrong, Charlie was the epitome of calmness, courtesy, and respect for everybody. The creep was lying through his teeth..

“The people on the left didn’t know Charlie at all!!”

Everything they say about him is the exact opposite of what he truly was. They never heard him.

I blame the media 95% for Charlie’s murder.

All of these people who have been fired, etc., for their vitriol should be sentenced to watch eight straight hours of Charlie’s interactions with college students.

Yes! What concerns me is that now these freaking commies will have a LOT of time on their hands and looking for some way to “make a difference”, if ya know what I mean.

Carry carry carry
