Charlie Kirk Firings Supported by Majority of Americans Poll: Majority of voters call firing over Kirk comments ‘appropriate’ – KRNV Half of registered voters agreed that people celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination should be fired, according to a new poll. ABC briefly suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for the last week over comments he made about Kirk’s assassination. Kimmel was reinstated by the company on Monday. Kimmel’s temporary suspension, as well as several other firings in universities and sports organizations across the country, has raised concerns about freedom of speech and censorship. Before ABC announced the suspension, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel’s comments on Kirk’s assassination. The poll, conducted by RMG Research and the Napolitan News Service on 1,000 registered voters, found 51% of respondents said it is appropriate for private companies to fire people who celebrate an assassination like Charlie Kirk’s online. The poll showed steep partisan divides as 80% of Republican respondents and 27% of Democrat respondents agreed that it is appropriate for private companies to fire people who celebrate an assassination like Kirk’s. “Sadly, the poll shows that early reactions have been just as partisan as everything else in the political world,” said Scott Rasmussen, founder of the Napolitan Institute.
