An NBA beat writer was fired over social media comments he made on the death of Charlie Kirk.
Gerald Bourguet, a Suns beat reporter for PHNX Sports, wrote a series of posts on X that set off an uproar on the platform after the conservative political commentator was shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
“’Political differences’ are not the same thing as spewing hateful rhetoric on a daily basis, and refusing to mourn a life devoted to that cause is not the same thing as celebrating gun violence,” Bourguet’s X thread on Wednesday began. “Just so we’re 100% clear on that.” “If you’re saddened by today’s ‘political violence,’ horrified by the video, or repulsed by my response, ask yourself why your reaction was different when it came to school shootings, mass deportations or the HUNDREDS of videos of horrific murders in Gaza (which Kirk cheered on),” Bourguet wrote in another post.

At least part of that screed is slanderous.
Charlie Kirk NEVER spewed hateful rhetoric! So tired of this foul canard!
Slap my hand, black soul man.
Like I said on another thread, I refuse to get angry. Instead I will email, DM or send a message on Twitter/X thanking these psychopathic leftists for showing their true colors and helping Republicans sweep the midterms and probably the next 50 elections.
Get a load of this...
There’s a GoFundMe for mister newly unemployed.
About 11 grand so far.
Lefties don’t like to put their money where their mouths are, do they...
Lib hate speech is commonplace.
Man, the unemployment rate next month will go through the roof - I hope these wastes of space go through the roof as well.
Start preparing the DC monument for Charlie Kirk.
Well, good for them -- but I think we'd all like a piece of that action.
You don’t agree with the crazy left, it’s hateful speech.
F them.
They probably can’t do that - it would be repeatedly vandalized.
You forget...ANYTHING the left disagrees with is hateful. The mere fact that Charlie Kirk spoke out and engaged them effectively makes him hateful. That’s their twisted worldview.
It’s good they reveal themselves and suffer consequences. Keep it up, libtards.
You are right, but it does not matter. These morons were told he did by their Masters. That’s all that matters. The truth is immaterial to them. They follow instructions.
I don’t get angry, but at one time I had a hunting license for communists. It was like an elk tag. It was only good in a particular region and only for a particular time, but at least there was no bag limit. At times like this though, I keep hoping a new one will show up in the mail.
That shirt makes him look like a fag.
So I created this video (via GROK). and it’s getting all kinds of reactions. Lots of love reacts, but the comments are mostly vial and disgusting. So I take those and send them to Conservatives who are exposing these asses to their community and employer.
Take a look...and feel free to dox anyone of them you see fit to dox.
