An Arizona-based sports news outlet has fired its lead Phoenix Suns reporter after the writer posted a series of social media messages celebrating the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Kirk was assassinated during an outdoor rally on Wednesday at a Utah college, felled by a long-range rifle shot to the neck that killed him in seconds. But after the murder, PHNX Sports writer Gerald Bourguet jumped to his X account to revel in the foul attack.
Bourguet, who describes himself as the lead Suns writer for PHNX Sports, immediately took to his X account and accused Kirk of spreading hate on a “daily basis.”
