JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville City Councilman Rory Diamond called on his colleagues to “swiftly” remove a city government appointee, Leofric Thomas Jr., from the Public Service Grants Council after he appeared to justify the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “Calling on my council colleagues to swiftly remove Leofric Thomas, Jr. as an appointee to our City government,” Diamond said. “Disgusting.” Thomas’ now-deleted post read: “When you spew hate it’s what you get back. Charlie spewed nothing but hate, so what he got back, was….. yeah,” adding a shrug emoji.
