An NBA beat writer was fired over social media comments he made on the death of Charlie Kirk.
Gerald Bourguet, a Suns beat reporter for PHNX Sports, wrote a series of posts on X that set off an uproar on the platform after the conservative political commentator was shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
“’Political differences’ are not the same thing as spewing hateful rhetoric on a daily basis, and refusing to mourn a life devoted to that cause is not the same thing as celebrating gun violence,” Bourguet’s X thread on Wednesday began. “Just so we’re 100% clear on that.”
“If you’re saddened by today’s ‘political violence,’ horrified by the video, or repulsed by my response, ask yourself why your reaction was different when it came to school shootings, mass deportations or the HUNDREDS of videos of horrific murders in Gaza (which Kirk cheered on),” Bourguet wrote in another post.
“Truly don’t care if you think it’s insensitive or poor timing to decline to respect an evil man who died. Too many of you are more concerned with being polite and appearing to be good people rather than showing some damn backbone and standing on principal to condemn hate,” Bourguet added.
PHNX Sports did not refer to Bourguet by name in a statement announcing the dismissal, but the Arizona Republic confirmed he was the one to go.
“The opinions expressed by our employees do not represent the views of PHNX or ALLCITY Network,” the company wrote on X. “We take matters involving violence very seriously and are committed to ensuring that ALLCITY remains a safe place for our employees and community alike. We have addressed this matter with the individual and made the decision to part ways.”

A popular Ohio barbecue restaurant is facing major backlash after one of its co-owners called conservative activist Charlie Kirk a "piece of s—" in a social media post after his assassination.
Shortly after Kirk, 31, was shot Wednesday while speaking at a campus event in Utah, Aaron Sharpe, co-owner of Lucius Q in Cincinnati, commented on a Facebook post from someone offering prayers for the husband and father of two.
"Good riddance," Sharpe wrote in a post that is no longer publicly visible but has been circulated widely online in screenshots. "What a piece of s—," he added.
On Wednesday evening, Sharpe doubled down on Facebook, posting, "Don't you dare come at me with your hypocrisy. … If you think that threats of social media attacks on me or my business will in any way keep me silent about what I believe, you are sorely mistaken."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Sharpe for comment. By late Friday morning, his Facebook account appeared to be deactivated.

FIRST ON FOX: DHS and Secretary Kristi Noem are placing a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employee on administrative leave after a data analyst complained that flags were flying at half-staff in memory of Charlie Kirk, referring to the conservative activist as a "racist homophobe misogynist."
Sources at DHS confirmed to Fox News Digital that Gavin Sylvia, who has been with FEMA since November 2024, questioned President Donald Trump's order to have American flags flown at half-staff in memory of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in Utah during an event on Wednesday.
"Half staff for the literal racist homophobe misogynist," Sylvia questioned on Instagram.
"This employee’s words are revolting and unconscionable," a spokesperson for FEMA told Fox News Digital. "Celebrating the death of a fellow American is appalling, unacceptable and sickening."
