    What is Discord? Messaging platform popular with gamers part of Charlie Kirk assassination investigation
    Discord, the widely used messaging platform popular with the gaming community, is at the center of the investigation of Tyler Robinson, the suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk.Robinson was arrested last week on suspicion of shooting and killing Kirk, the 31-year-old conservative activist, while he was speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University.Robinson's alleged use of the app has come to the attention of authorities and become significant in the probe of Kirk's assassination.CHARLIE KIRK'S ALLEGED SHOOTER NOT COOPERATING WITH AUTHORITIES, UTAH GOV. COX SAYSDiscord is a messaging platform with more than 200 million monthly users who interact through text, voice and video. It is especially popular with gamers and allows them to form communities around "various topics, interests, or gaming groups," according to the company.While mostly known for its association with the gaming community, Discord is used by a wide variety of people around other interest areas as well.According to USA Today, communication on Discord happens on"servers," whichare similar to "groups" on Meta's Facebook or Instagram.These are "invite-only spaces for your friends or community places where you can connect, collaborate, and enjoy meaningful conversations together," according to the company.Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspected of murdering Kirk, allegedly discussed details of the crime with a roommate on the Discord app.DEATH PENALTY LOOMS FOR CHARLIE KIRKS ACCUSED KILLER BUT LEGAL BAR IS HIGH AS TRUMP, COX MOUNT PRESSUREDuring a press briefing Friday morning, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Robinson sent messages on Discord about stowing and retrieving a rifle from a "drop point."The messages shown to officials also refer to engraving bullets, and a mention of the "scope and the rifle being unique," according to an affidavit.The New York Times reported Saturday that an acquaintance of Robinson appeared to recognize him from surveillance images released of the suspected killer the day after the shooting, tagging his username on Discord and writing "wya," meaning, "Where you at?" Robinson joked back that his "doppelganger" was trying to get him in trouble.He later also quipped that he would like a share of the reward if someone else on the Discord chat turned him in.A Discord spokesman told Fox News Digital it has not uncovered evidence the suspect promoted violence on the platform."During our investigation, Discord identified an account belonging to the suspect. We have not found or received any evidence that the suspect planned this incident on Discord or promoted violence on Discord. The messages referenced in reporting about weapon retrieval and planning details were not Discord messages, and likely took place on a phone-number based messaging platform. We continue to work closely with the FBI and local authorities, and will continue to deliver prompt responses to their requests for assistance."CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION SUSPECT AWAITS CHARGES AS UTAH RESIDENTS DESCRIBE ALLEGED KILLER AS VERY QUIETSome critics have said Discord's private channels can be hotbeds for extreme rhetoric that can't be monitored, and it also doesn't employ enough protections for younger users.The perpetrator of the 2022 racist mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, openly discussed his plans to carry out the attack on Discord. Discord ultimately deleted the server he used and expressed devastation at his use of its platform to plan the massacre.Thomas Matthew Crooks, the attempted assassin of President Donald Trump last year, had an account on the Discord app. Discord deactivated his account afterward, saying it was rarely used, there was no evidence he used it to plan the attack, and the company strongly condemns violence.New Jersey sued Discord in April, alleging the company was engaging in deceptive business practices that don't protect its youngest users.In 2023, Discord helped foil a potential mass shooting at a synagogue after a 13-year-old allegedly made threats on the app. According to ABC News, Discord reported the disturbing messages to authorities, leading to an arrest before the attack was carried out.Discord says it does not allow hateful conduct or speech on its platforms."We dont allow hateful conduct or the use of hate speech while on Discord. This includes hate symbols and denial of historical mass atrocities. We define hate speech as any expression that degrades, vilifies, or dehumanizes individuals, incites hostility towards specific groups, or promotes harm based on protected characteristics," its official policy states.Discord has a minimum age of 13 to use its services in the U.S. and most other countries. Some countries have set higher age minimums to use the platform.

    Florida rep calls for firing, defunding of those celebrating Charlie Kirk assassination
    Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., is asking Floridians to report those celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, saying such people should face significant consequences."Those celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk must be thrown out of civil society," Fine wrote on the social platform X. "I will demand their firing, defunding, and license revocation.""If you are aware of anyone in the 6th District of Florida or anywhere in the state who works at any level of government, works for an entity that receives government funding (health care, university), or holds a professional license (lawyer, medical professional, teacher) that is publicly celebrating the violence, please contact my office," he said. "I will demand their firing, defunding, and license revocation."FOLLOWING KIRKS ASSASSINATION, LAWMAKERS REACT TO LETHAL POLITICAL CLIMATE: 'VIOLENT WORDS PRECEDE VIOLENT ACTIONS'Kirk's death has prompted fierce backlash from Republicans against those who have diminished the fatal shooting.Some people have been called out on social media and even dismissed from their jobs over their reactions to the killing.Last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned military service members and the Pentagons civilian workforce that comments mocking Kirks assassination were being tracked."It is unacceptable for military personnel and Department of Defense civilians to celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American. The Department of Defense has zero tolerance for it," Sean Parnell, assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs, chief Pentagon spokesman and senior advisor, declared in a post on X.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, JOSH DUHAMEL, JILLIAN MICHAELS DENOUNCE POLITICAL VIOLENCE"We are tracking all these very closely and will address [them] immediately. Completely unacceptable," Hegseth wrote in his own post.On Monday, Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah said she was fired over social media posts related to the Kirk shooting."As a columnist, I used my voice to defend freedom and democracy, challenge power, and reflect on culture and politics with honesty and conviction," she wrote on Substack. "Now, I am the one being silenced for doing my job."

    Ilhan Omar's committee assignments under threat after 'disparaging Charlie Kirk's legacy'
    FIRST ON FOX: A House Republican is demanding that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., be stripped of her committee assignments, accusing her of making disparaging comments toward Charlie Kirk after his assassination last week.Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is introducing a resolution on Monday to remove Omar from her two current committees: the House Budget Committee and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.She is the top Democrat on the latter panel's Subcommittee on Workforce Protections.It's part of the continued fallout from Kirk's killing in Utah during a college speaking event.GOP GOVERNOR NOMINEE PUSHES REDISTRICTING TO OUST STATE'S LONE HOUSE DEMRepublicans have responded forcefully to Democrats who they view as taking Kirk's death lightly or dismissing it as a product of his conservative activism.Omar, in particular, has faced backlash from the right over an interview with progressive news outlet Zeteo, where she criticized Kirk's past commentary and Republicans' reaction to the shooting. She accused Republicans of taking her words out of context, however, and she called Kirk's death "mortifying."She told the outlet days after Kirk's assassination that he previously "downplayed slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth shouldn't exist.""There are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate," the "Squad" member said. "There is nothing more effed up, you know, like, than to completely pretend that, you know, his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so."She criticized Republican figures who have been going after Democrats for their rhetoric, adding, "These people are full of s---. And it's important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness, and have, you know, empathy, which Charlie said, 'No, it shouldn't exist,' because that's a newly created word or something.""Like, I have empathy for his kids and his wife and what they're going through," Omar continued.SCRUTINY INTENSIFIES OVER SECURITY LAPSES SURROUNDING THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTINGShe later posted on X amid the backlash, "While I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I dont wish violence on anyone. My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion. Right-wing accounts trying to spin a false story when I condemned his murder multiple times is fitting for their agenda to villainize the left to hide from the fact that Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis."Carter told Fox News Digital, however, "Disparaging Charlie Kirks legacy, a God-fearing, honorable man, for boldly sharing his conservative beliefs is disgusting. The radical left has normalized meeting free speech with violence, and it must stop.""No one who justifies the assassination of someone with different political views than them deserves to sit on a committee, and Ilhan Omar openly used language that incites violence toward her political opponents. Committees are for serious lawmakers, not hate-spewing politicians," he said.Carter, who is currently running for U.S. Senate, sits on the House Budget Committee alongside Omar.Fox News Digital reached out to the Minnesota progressive's office for comment but did not hear back by press time.

    Charlie Kirks alleged assassin held leftist ideology but motive still under investigation: Utah governor
    The suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk was a "very normal young man" who later developed a "leftist ideology" after appearing to become increasingly radicalized in recent years, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Sunday.Cox revealed the new details about 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson to NBCs "Meet the Press," though said that investigators are not yet ready to discuss a potential motive as they continue to piece together information about the alleged assassin.Cox said family and friends of Robinson described his politics as appearing to shift left after dropping out of Utah State University."It seemed to happen kind of after that after he moved back to the southern part of Utah," he said. "Clearly, there was a lot of gaming going on, friends that have confirmed that there was kind of that deep, dark internet, Reddit culture and these other dark places of the internet where this person was going deep."FBI INVESTIGATING LEFTIST GROUPS FOR POSSIBLE TIES TO CHARLIE KIRKS ASSASSINATION: SOURCERobinson is accused of shooting and killing Kirk as the 31-year-old husband and father of two young children was holding a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday."The why behind this, again, we're all drawing lots of conclusions on how someone like this could be radicalized, and I think that those are important questions for us to ask and important questions for us to answer," he said.While Cox did not get into specifics about Robinsons ideology, the governor did point to references engraved on the ammunition used to kill Kirk, with records showing one bullet casing had the message, "Hey, fascist! Catch!""You saw that on the casings," Cox said, noting "the memeification that is happening in our society today."Cox said more information about the suspect and a potential motive may be released Tuesday when charges against Robinson are filed.CHARLIE KIRK'S ALLEGED SHOOTER NOT COOPERATING WITH AUTHORITIES, UTAH GOV. COX SAYSSenior-level FBI officials previouslyconfirmed to Fox News Digital that Robinson was in a "romantic relationship" with a transgender partner. The officials said Robinson lived with the unnamed person, who is a male transitioning to a female and that they shared an apartment in St. George, Utah.Cox said the partner has been "very cooperative with authorities."Robinson, however, has not been cooperating since his arrest, according to Cox."He has not confessed to authorities. He is not cooperating, but all the people around him are cooperating. And I think that's, that's, that's very important," Cox told ABC News.Authorities said Sunday that Robinson is being held under "special watch" pending the completion of a mental health evaluation.Until Robinson clears a mental health evaluation, authorities are keeping a "close eye" on him, theUtah County Sheriff's Departmentsaid in a statement.Fox News Digitals Brooke Singman contributed to this report.

    Potentially severe mosquito-borne virus surges in US above normal levels
    West Nile virus is surging across the U.S. this summer, with infections running about 40% higher than normal, according to new reports.The virus is most commonly spread to people through the bite of an infected mosquito, although the disease cycle also includes infected birds. When mosquitoes feed on infected birds, they can pick up the virus and transmit it to humans.There have been roughly 770 human cases in the U.S. as of early September, with nearly 500 classified as severe, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which tracks cases reported by state health departments.KANSAS TRACKS 5 SERIOUS WEST NILE VIRUS CASES AS MOSQUITO SEASON PEAKS ACROSS THE STATEThat's about 40% higher than the average number of cases reported by this point in previous years (around 550 total and 350 that qualify as severe), based on CDC data.Most West Nile cases are reported in August and September.The official report emphasized that this data is still preliminary. Many mild infections go unreported, and theres often a lag before all severe cases are confirmed.MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS SPREADING THROUGH CHINA CAUSES HIGH FEVER, JOINT PAINThough a spike is expected during peak season, experts say the intensity of the outbreak and the percentage of mosquitoes testing positive for the virus is unusual.For most people, West Nile produces mild symptoms such as fever, aches and rashes or none at all, according to the CDC.In rare serious cases, the virus invades the nervous system, causing meningitis, encephalitis (swelling of the brain), paralysis or death.Its the spike in these latter symptoms that is causing concern. People over 50 or those with compromised immune systems are at highest risk, experts caution.West Nile virus was first identified in Africa in 1937, with the first European outbreak occurring in 1996. It reached the U.S. in 1999, when an outbreak in New York sent 62 people to the hospital over two months, data shows.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERAvoiding mosquito bites is the first line of defense. Health officials recommend wearing loose, long-sleeved clothing; applying insect repellent (especially at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active); and ensuring that window screens are secure.MORE IN HEALTH NEWSAround homes, eliminating standing water (like that found in buckets, tires and gutters) can help keep mosquitoes from breeding.

    Vance says he owes 'so much' to Charlie Kirk while guest-hosting show, praises 'visionary' conservative leader
    Vice President JD Vance filled in for his "dear friend" Charlie Kirk on his program following last week's assassination of the popular conservative leader.Livestreaming from his office on Monday, Vance began "The Charlie Kirk Show" by expressing how the last several days "have been hard" for him, his family, the country, those who personally knew Kirk, and especially Kirk's widow Erika and their children."The thing is, every single person in this building, we owe something to Charlie," Vance said. "He was a joyful warrior for our country. He loved America. He devoted himself tirelessly to making our country a better place. He was a critical part of getting Donald Trump elected as president, getting me elected as vice president, and so much of our success over the last seven months is due to his efforts, his staffing, his support and his friendship."VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE ESCORTS CHARLIE KIRK'S CASKET BEFORE FLIGHT ON AIR FORCE TWO FROM UTAH TO ARIZONAHe continued, "I don't think that I'm alone in saying that Charlie was the smartest political operative I ever met. Everyone knew him as this fearless debater, this guy who would take the conservative message into hostile places and inspire younger generations to have courage. One thing that's hit a lot of those young Americans over the last week was how Charlie was there for them when others were not, when they were afraid to speak their minds, when they were afraid of what a professor would say, when they were afraid that they would be shouted down by their peers. Charlie was there showing them that they could be courageous and that they could be bold."The vice president went on to call Kirk a "visionary" and a "luminary," crediting him for creating "a whole social network for an entire generation of young people.""I know people who met their husband, who met their wife, who met the best men at their wedding at a TPUSA event, because, as you guys all know, it's not just about speaking our mind, it's about making friends along the way and creating that support network that won an election and that staffed the current federal government. I owe so much to Charlie," Vance said.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRKVance revealed he had been receiving messages and screenshots of texts Kirk had made to others showing his effort to get Trump to pick Vance as his running mate during the 2024 election, saying how after Kirk advocated for him, he wanted to spend the show "to advocate for Charlie" and what he meant for the conservative movement.He praised Erika Kirk's first public remarks last week, saying the country saw "raw grief and incredible courage all in the same moment," insisting "that's what we need right now." He also reflected on an exchange he had with her when he flew to Utah to help escort Kirk's casket to his home in Arizona.CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWS"She said to me that Charlie never raised his voice, that he never cussed at her, that he was never cross or mean-spirited to her," Vance said. "And look, I'm a husband. I'm proud of being a husband. I think that, on the great balance of things, that I'm a pretty good husband, but I can never say that I was never unpleasant with my wife. I can never say that I've never raised my voice to my wife. Like most husbands, even the good ones, we're sometimes imperfect. And I took from that moment that I needed to be a better husband, and I needed to be a better father.""Because of all these moments that I shared just the last few days, the books that I've read to my kids, going up to their bedroom and kissing them and hugging them before bed, I just realized that all of these moments that I get to have, Charlie is not able to have them anymore, and Charlie's kids and his beautiful wife are not able to have them anymore. And maybe the best way that I can contribute and the best way that I could honor my dear friend is to be the best husband that I can be, to be the kind of husband to my wife that he was to his," he continued."We talked all the time about the most important thing could do is not vote for a particular candidate, it was to become, if you were a young man, a husband and a father," Vance added. "He talked about the joy that came from fatherhood, the joy that came from raising a family and being part of their growth and their development, and all the incredible things that happen when you get to be a husband and father. And that is the way that I'm going to honor my friend is to be the very best at that most important job that I can be."Vance spent the rest of the program chatting with top Trump administration officials as well as friends of Kirk to discuss Kirk's towering legacy. More than 250,000 people tuned in on Rumble towards the start of the livestream.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    Utah prosecutors prepare potential death penalty case against Charlie Kirk suspect Tyler James Robinson
    When official charges against Charlie Kirk's suspected assassin, Tyler James Robinson, are formally unveiled this week, they will show whether prosecutors are able to seek the death penalty, as Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has proposed repeatedly in recent days.Robinson, a 22-year-old from the southern part of the state, is currently being held without bail at the Utah County Jail. He is accused of climbing onto a rooftop at Utah Valley University and shooting and killing Kirk from about 200 yards away before fleeing into a neighborhood and making his way home to Washington, Utah."Given the very early stages of this investigation, and the fact that the investigation is ongoing, we cannot comment on the specific charges that we will file," Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said in a statement over the weekend. "However, we do anticipate that those charges will likely be consistent with the preliminary charges that supported Mr. Robinsons booking into jail."DEATH PENALTY LOOMS FOR CHARLIE KIRKS ACCUSED KILLER BUT LEGAL BAR IS HIGH AS TRUMP, COX MOUNT PRESSURECharges in the affidavit include aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm and obstruction of justice. The aggravated murder charge is crucial if prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty, a move that Cox has called for repeatedly since Kirk's assassination Wednesday.The maximum sentence for aggravated murder is the death penalty, Gray said. Under state law, prosecutors would need to prove an "aggravating" factor. If they don't have one, a regular murder charge would carry a maximum penalty of life in prison.There are a number of aggravating factors, such as if multiple people are killed or if the victim is a police officer or under the age of 14.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION SUSPECT AWAITS CHARGES AS UTAH RESIDENTS DESCRIBE ALLEGED KILLER AS VERY QUIETBut the law appears to carve out only a narrow approach to finding an aggravator in Kirk's murder, according to Joshua Ritter, a California defense attorney and Fox News contributor who is following the case. Prosecutors would have to convince jurors that the shooting created a "grave risk" to bystanders in the crowd."At the end of the day, it's an allegation, it's not like the entire case hinges upon that," he told Fox News Digital. "If the jury finds that allegation to be true, then its game on. They would have to make the argument to the jury, there was a crowd of people around him, he's shooting from 200 yards away...and that that could have put others in danger. Which to me, thats a fairly easy argument to make."LEGAL ANALYST CALLS FOR MORE ARRESTS IN CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATIONIn order to seek the death penalty, prosecutors would also have to formally file a notice with the court within 60 days of the charges."I imagine what they're going to do is just charge him with 'aggravated murder,'" Ritter said. "I dont know if they have to specify by which theory...But they may specify, 'aggravated murder pursuant to this code,' etc., and give us a much better idea."The obstruction charge carries a maximum of 15 years in prison, and the felony discharge of a firearm count could result in a sentence of five years to life in prison.Those charges will be outlined in an official "criminal information" document, Gray said, which could be filed as early as Tuesday or as late as Friday if prosecutors believe they need additional time.CHARLIE KIRKS STRONG STANCE ON DEATH PENALTY RESURFACES AFTER UTAH ASSASSINATION"We will be thorough and deliberate at every stage of this case," Gray said.After the official information is filed, Robinson will have his first appearance in court, and the charging documents will become public. After that, Gray's office is expected to hold a news conference with additional updates.It was not immediately clear whether Robinson had a lawyer yet as of Monday morning.President Donald Trump said last week that if Robinson is convicted, he hopes he gets the death penalty. The suspected killer could also face federal charges, and another potential death penalty, in separate proceedings.Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was the founder of Turning Point USA, a national organization for college conservatives aimed at bringing more young people into the Republican fold. He was shot and killed at an event sponsored by TPUSA and UVU's campus chapter.

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce slams helmet in frustration, drops crucial pass in loss to Eagles
    Travis Kelces frustrations boiled over on Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl LIX.The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was seen on the FOX broadcast telling his teammates in the second quarter that he was "sick of this s---" and slammed his helmet down on the field. The clip came after Patrick Mahomes scored on a rushing touchdown. It was unclear what Kelce was upset about.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe star tight end then suffered a crucial drop that led to an Eagles interception and, eventually, a touchdown on the next drive for the Jalen Hurts-led squad.The Chiefs quarterback fired a pass to Kelce as the tight end was cutting across the field. The ball was just to the right of Kelce and he was unable to make a play. The ball bounced out of his hands and into the hands of Eagles defender Andrew Mukuba.Hurts led the Eagles on a 10-play, 59-yard drive from there and it ended with a touchdown. Philadelphia took a 10-point lead and won the game 20-17.Kelce had four catches for 61 yards, leading the team.Chiefs head coach Andy Reid talked about Kelces emotions on the sidelines.NFL FANS ACCUSE EAGLES OF COMMITTING PENALTIES ON TUSH PUSH DURING WIN OVER CHIEFS"Hes trying to get guys fired up and going. I mean, thats him. Hes that way every week if you keep an eye on him. Hes all in, all the time. Thats the way he was today," Reid said.Mahomes talked about Kelces drop."We got the defense that we wanted. We expect them to play that zero-zero with the hole player with the safety," he said. "I think I threw it just a tad too early, just trying to put it on his (Kelces) body low before that hole player got there and I think if I can put it more on his body and not so far out in front of him then he can catch it, take the hit and get in the end zone."Kansas City dropped to 0-2 for the first time in the Mahomes era."I think just after the first few weeks now, you just let games slip away. We played two good football teams and made mistakes in big moments - stuff that were not used to doing," Mahomes said. "But I think were coming together as a team, man. I mean, when you deal with adversity its about how you deal with it and obviously, this isnt how we wanted to start. But how are we going to respond?"So, Im excited for the next few weeks to see who wants to be challenged and how we can get back and really get after it."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    NJ doctor resigns after nurse said he 'cheered' Charlie Kirk's death
    A New Jersey doctor accused of celebrating conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination has resigned, and the nurse who reported him will get to keep her job, the hospital where they worked told Fox News Digital.Englewood Health says it "diligently investigated" the September 10 incident "between a doctor and a nurse in a patient care area." The update came after nurse Lexi Kuenzle, 33, sued Englewood Health and Dr. Matthew Jung, alleging that Jung "cheered and celebrated" Charlie Kirk's assassination in comments made in front of patients and hospital staff, and that she was suspended after she reported him.While the findings of the hospital's investigation have not been disclosed, a spokesperson for the healthcare provider told Fox News Digital in an email that it has "[a]ccepted the physicians resignation, and the nurse is expected to work her scheduled shifts."The spokesperson went on to say, "The nurse was never fired; was never told she would be fired by Englewood Hospital; and will not miss any pay as part of our review of this matter."NJ HOSPITAL NURSE CLAIMS RETALIATION FOR REPORTING DOCTOR WHO 'CELEBRATED' KIRK ASSASSINATIONKuenzle, who appeared on "Fox & Friends" Monday morning with her attorney John-Paul Deol of the Dhillon Law Group, told host Brian Kilmeade that she did not know who Dr. Jung was prior to their interaction on Wednesday.HOSPITAL FIRES HEALTHCARE WORKER FOR CONTROVERSIAL CHARLIE KIRK SOCIAL MEDIA POST"He was standing there, celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, saying how he deserved it, he hated Charlie Kirk and he had it coming to him," the nurse, who considers herself "a big fan of Charlie Kirk" said.Fox News Digital reached out to Kuenzle and Deol for comment following the hospital's announcement of Jung's resignation, but they did not immediately respond.Englewood Health's statement on Monday said that the hospital "is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all."

    Pentagon suspends Army colonel for celebrating Charlie Kirk's death
    Army Col. Scott Stephens has been suspended from official duties after social media posts purportedly belonging to him celebrated the killing of Charlie Kirk, the Army told Fox News Digital.An Army spokesperson confirmed Stephens suspension and said there is an investigation underway into his conduct. Stephens could not be reached for comment by publication time. "The death of Charlie Kirk in Utah was tragic. However, we can take comfort in the fact that Charlie was doing what he loved best spreading hate, racism, homophobia, misogyny, and transphobia on college campuses," one post read.CHARLIE KIRK'S FRIEND URGES MOURNERS TO 'GO BACK TO CHURCH' FOLLOWING ACTIVIST'S KILLING"I would offer empathy, but Charlie hated empathy. As we have been told in the wake of so many other tragedies, we have to move on. We cant make this political."The colonel, who was once commander of 1st Battalion, 4th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade, has fashioned himself as an anti-sexual assault crusader in the Army.In 2021, he told Task & Purpose he had long been part of the problem with sexual assault and its cover-ups in the Army.PENTAGON ANNOUNCES 'ZERO TOLERANCE' FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL MOCKING CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION"Ive been guilty my whole life," he said. "And Id say within the last couple of years Ive sort of come to terms with that. And I have personally chosen to take this on in my latter years and try to be vocal and try to drag some of my peers along.""I dont think that I know a single woman in the Army who has not been harassed," Stephens said.
