Turning Point USA is calling on the NBA to fire an employee who posted rude comments about the murder of Charlie Kirk on social media.
Kirk founded TPUSA, a nonprofit organization that focuses on conservative values in high schools and colleges, in 2012. He was shot and killed at Utah Valley University while debating at a campus event on September 10.
An NBA employee was suspended two weeks without pay for “violating multiple NBA policies” following crude posts about Kirk’s murder, but TPUSA wants more.

“The opinion of this team, and that of any decent American, is that if anyone is morally depraved enough to celebrate the cold-blooded murder of an innocent husband and father, much less an American hero like Charlie, then they deserve to be fired immediately,” a TPUSA spokesperson told OutKick, which first reported on the employee’s social media posts.
“It is an instant black eye for any employer that refuses to take action. This should not be newsworthy or exceptional. We hope the NBA does not stop at the suspension, but rather goes all out and fires this individual, as he well deserves.”
The employee called Kirk a “terrible person” and a “moron” in an Instagram story.
In a post the employee shared wondering what Kirk’s “legacy” was, the employee wrote that Kirk didn’t have one.
“He did absolutely nothing healthy for the world except spew dangerous rhetoric…There is no legacy,” the post said.

“Oh I also forgot to include ‘thoughts and prayers’. LMAO,” another post read.
It is unclear when the suspension was issued or what policies were violated. The NBA has not responded to an email from Pak Gazette Digital about those details.
