NJ nurse suspended without pay for calling out doctor who ‘cheered’ Charlie Kirk’s death: suit

Published Sep. 13, 2025

A New Jersey surgeon allegedly “cheered” the assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk— and a nurse who spoke out against the vile act claims she’s been suspended for her objections.

Lexi Kuenzle, a nurse at Englewood Health,filed a lawsuit Friday in Bergen County Superior Court against the hospital, Dr. Matthew Jung and others, claiming she was wrongly fired for calling out the doctor’s vile acton her personal Instagram account.

“[Kuenzle] had the audacity to question how Dr. Jung can comply with the Hippocratic Oath’s and the American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics while celebrating the murderof a non-violent Christian speaker who was on a college campus,” the suit says.

Kuenzle was in front of a nurses’ station with eight other nurses, and a patient in a stretcher, when the news of Kirk’s death broke.

“Oh, my God! That’s terrible! I love him!” Kuenzle said, before Jung shot back.

“I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming. He deserved it,” the bariatric surgeon allegedly said.

“You’re a doctor. How could you say someone deserved to die?” Kuenzie recalled replying.

“It was mind-blowing to me,” the 33-year-old Hoboken resident told The Post Saturday. “I was so angry and upset.”

Kuenzle said she reported Wednesday’s incident to management immediately and then posted about it on social media when she got home.

The following day, she was pulled into a meeting with hospital brass and suspended without pay pending a probe, the nurse claimed. A union rep also suggested she start looking for another job.

Kuenzle, an avid conservative whose Instagram photos include her posing in a bikini holding an American flag and a large cardboard figure of President Trump, has been a nurse for 10 years, including nearly two at Englewood Health.

What Killed Charlie Kirk

And, more importantly, can we stop it?

BYLIEL LEIBOVITZ

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025July 14, 2024

What can you say in the aftermath of a national tragedy like Charlie Kirk’s assassination?

In the 24 hours or so since Kirk was gunned down in Utah by a shooter who, as of this writing, is still at large, we’ve been treated to a torrent of predictable responses: outrage and hurt from those who knew and loved him, sadistic glee from many who didn’t, and, from the vast majority of Americans in-between, some version of the following sentiment: We can’t allow this sort of thing to happen in America.

Amen, selah. But to stop the next shooter we need to understand where this one came from first. And for 24 hours or so, we’ve been offered nothing but heaps of twaddle on this singularly crucial question. To hear our politicians and pundits—left, right, and center—tell it, the shooting occurred in a politically charged climate, committed by some coward who chose to end the debate with a bullet. Toss in some lip service to mental health and the obligatory lip-pursing about gun violence, and you have the consensus vision of what went wrong. And it’s a strangely comforting one at that, because it casts the shooter as a horror movie monster, terrifying but singular in its ghoulishness, the one meanie who emerged from the toxic swamp of bad but curable social phenomena. All you have to do, then, is find him, catch him, deter others from getting any crazy ideas, and our long national nightmare will be over.

But the nightmare, sadly, is far greater than that. If we’re being honest and level-headed, it’s not too hard to understand that the tragedy was imminent. It didn’t happen in a vacuum and it was no freak aberration. Charlie Kirk was shot because great forces spent decades reshaping social norms and institutions and creating vast cadres of Americans ready to do great violence to anyone they were led to believe was their enemy. This isn’t hyperbole. In a grim coincidence, just a few hours before Kirk’s assassination, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression released a survey of 68,000 students in 257 universities nationwide; one in three said it was acceptable to use violence in response to offensive speech.

Like all complex and still unfurling stories, the account of how we got here is intricate and contains multitudes.But we must look at this straight in the face, and attack the problems head on.

Let’s start, fittingly enough, with births. Over the last few decades, American birthrates have plummeted precipitously, and are projected to reach 1.6 births per women in the next three decades, well beneath the 2.1 births per woman replacement rate. This should come as no surprise, because Americans, it turns out, have also stopped having sex. In 1990, according to the Institute for Family Studies, 55% of Americans reported having sex on a regular basis. The number now stands at 37%, and it’s dropping even faster for younger Americans: In 2022, the Kinsey Institute found that one in four members of Gen Z had yet to have sex with a real, live, human partner.

Charlie Kirk was shot because great forces spent decades reshaping social norms and institutions and creating vast cadres of Americans ready to do great violence to anyone they were led to believe was their enemy,

How did we become a sexless society failing to reproduce? The answer is simple: by design. For 30 years at least, we’ve all been treated to a carefully orchestrated campaign against embodiment, or the idea that biological realities matter and that they have something profound to do with who we are. It began with abortion, which we were told was a human rights issue and, besides, was to be kept safe, legal, and rare. Then, before we knew it, we had entertainers like Michelle Wolf celebrating abortion as an all-out good on Comedy Central. Then came the tide of transgenderism, which began with the silencing of a Brown University professor whose research proved that kids were declaring themselves trans because of peer pressure emanating in large part from the culture and social media platforms. Before too long, we were told that though every cell in the human body has its own sex-specific chromosomes, gender is a social construct that could be changed at will, and that biological males should now be allowed to compete in women’s sports or choose to be incarcerated in women’s prisons.

Those who objected to this lunacy were silenced, or, if they were unfortunate enough to be British, arrested.Entire generations of children grew up being taught that it was right and good to deny obvious biological reality.Entire swaths of doctors were trained to say that cutting off the breasts of a healthy young child was called “gender affirming care” and was entirely virtuous.

RFK Jr. just brought the house down at the Kennedy Center.

The entire building erupted in chants of “USA!” after he shared an unforgettable conversation he once had with Charlie Kirk about death.

“I had a conversation once with Charlie where we were talking about the danger that we both faced from challenging entrenched interests. And he asked me if I was scared to die. And I said to him, ‘There’s a lot worse things than dying.’”

Kennedy continued: “And one of the chief among us is losing our constitutional rights and having our children raised in slavery.

“I said to him at that time, ‘Sometimes our only consolation is that we can die with our boots on. We can die fighting for these things.’

“Charlie gave his life so that the rest of us would not have to suffer those fates worse than death. Now it’s our job. He’s no longer there to lead us. Rush in and fill the breach and win this battle for our country, for God, and for our families. Thank you.”

The crowd’s response was electric. Listen to how loud those chants of “USA!” became.

EXCLUSIVE: How Did 22-Year-Old Charged With Killing Charlie Kirk End Up Looking Like Elusive Professional?

Sept. 15, 20251/3

In the hours following the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk, the internet flooded with theories about who the shooter might be and how he pulled off the tragic murder.

How did the shooter manage to get into position during a crowded university event, fire off a 200-yard shot with a hunting rifle that struck Kirk in the neck, and then evade capture for nearly two days?

The Daily Caller spoke with former special forces personnel, ex-federal protection detail members and a law enforcement official about what likely went into the suspect’s planning, the relative precision of the shot, and the security measures at Utah Valley University(UVU) that allowed the suspect to slip away undetected. The experts who spoke to the Caller acknowledged that while the suspect was not a professional, he had clearly spent some time planning the assassination.

Kirk was shot and killed Wednesday at UVU, prompting a manhunt that led to two false arrests that day and concluded Friday morning in the apprehension of alleged 22-year-old assassin Tyler Robinson.Kirk was guarded by his own personal security team alongside six officers stationed at the event to provide additional protection, according to a Fox 13 Salt Lake City report

Utah’s arrest affidavit for Robinson claims that Robinson, wearing dark clothing and a dark backpack, was observed on surveillance footage walking through campus with a “distinctive gait” featuring a “stiff, right leg” before making his way up onto a rooftop overlooking the tent in which Kirk was engaging with students. Officials indicated that the suspect’s stiffened gait was due to him concealing his .30-06 rifle in his pants leg.

Robinson allegedly removed the rifle from its concealed location and sprinted across the roof, setting up in a prone shooting position and shooting Kirk about one minute after lying down. The shot struck Kirk in the neck, leading to immediate severe blood loss.

The approximately 200-yard shot with a scoped hunting rifle suggests some level of experience with a firearm but was not the work of a trained professional, experts told the Caller.

Michael Matranga, CEO of M6 Global Defenseand former United States Secret Service (USSS) Presidential Detail, said thatunlike Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the alleged Kirk assassin likely had experience using a scoped rifle. He explained that the precision of the shotindicated pre-planning and a deliberate intent to kill.=

“Now, what I will tell you is I do not believe that this person had the limited skills that Matthew Crooks had. I think this person probably spent quite a bit of time behind a scope, because if you look at the impact of where that round struck, it was obvious that it was trying to intentionally kill him,” Matranga said. “I think that we’re gonna find that this person has some level of experience.”

Tim Reboulet, Chief Operations Officer of M6 Global Defense and former USSS and Presidential Detail also told the Callerthe alleged shooter was “somebody that spends a lot of time with a weapon.”

“Most amateurs, in my opinion, would go for the bigger target, which would be the face or the head. But the line of sight based on the roof elevation, think about looking down into a pop-up tent, that individual was dead on with their shots. I won’t say it was a hired assassin, I won’t say it was a total novice, but I would say it’s somebody that spends a lot of time with a weapon and knows how to handle the weapon and a scope,” he said. (I this proves Charlie was killed by someone else(

Other experts agreed that the suspected shooter had shot rifles before,but indicated they did not believe he was specifically aiming for Kirk’s neck.

Jeff Gum, former Navy SEAL and Co-founder of Trident Academy,said the shooter may have been “aiming for the head and missed down low … and lot of times when you jerk a trigger it’ll come down into the right.”

“So if you’re a right-handed shooter and you pull and you yank the trigger, it’ll go down to the right, so that could totally be what happened there,” Gum explained.

2/3

A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymitysimilarly stated that they believe the shooter missed his intended target: Kirk’s chest.

“I think he aimed center mass and hit high,” the official guessed. “Too many variables for a head shot at that distance.”

A rifle shot might miss high if a shooter anticipates the recoil from the gun or makes a jerky trigger pull.

“People are reading too much into a 200-yard shot. That’s not far and anyone with some marksmanship skills can make that shot,” the official argued.

Following the deadly shot, surveillance video shows the suspect standing up and running to the other side of the roof after the shot with his rifle in tow. He climbs down the side of the building, hangs for a moment to get closer to the ground, and then drops to the grass below before running away from the scene.

Robinson then allegedly stashed his rifle and ammunition, wrapped in a towel, in a nearby bush. The suspect, according to law enforcement, messaged his roommate the location of the gun and asked him to pick it up from the drop point.

He also allegedly changed clothes after the shooting to avoid being recognized.

But Robinson’s father reportedly did recognize him from released surveillance images and turned him into the authorities. Officials recovered the weapon and ammunition and the roommate is cooperating with the investigation.

“I’m very surprised he carried the hunting rifle into the woods and risked being seen on his way there just to discard it anyway there,” Gum said of the suspect’s actions following the shooting. “He never even chambered another round which is what every pro does immediately and it’s second nature.”

The law enforcement official noted that this, too, may have been part of the alleged shooter’s plans.

“My guess is he carried the rifle off the roof for ballistic forensic reasons because kids watch too much TV and CSI. Not ejecting the shell casing and taking the rifle prevents DNA, fingerprinting and ballistics that might tie him to the shooting. But then he abandoned the rifle in the woods,” the official told the Caller, adding that he may have found the rifle too cumbersome during his escape or saw people nearby and worried about attracting attention.

“I want to know the actions and steps leading up to the event this kid did, because his planning was pretty damn good for a 22-year-old, including his approach and exit,” the official noted. The official suggested the suspect may have scouted the campus several times before the event to figure out the best place to take the shot from, watched the event get set up, and may have even talked to campus police or security who unwittingly gave away where Kirk would be sitting.

New surveillance footage obtained by TMZ allegedly shows Robinson walking toward campus — on the same path he would take later that day — hours before the shooting while wearing different clothing.

“Two to three on campus visits wandering around like a lost freshman andI’m sure he figured out pretty quickly where to take the shot from and how to get in and get out,” the official said.

Gum added, “In the chaos of a situation like that it can be really easy to slip out temporarily and get away like he did.”

The relatively light security on campus during the event would also have made it easier for the shooter to set upand leave the scene without being detected, the experts told the Caller.

Mike Glover, former U.S. Army and Special Forces and host of Mike Force Podcast,spoke to the Caller about the lack of logistical and operational resources present at the event.

“They should have had a larger law enforcement presence which would have deterred something like this from happening.From a security perspective they should have been on the high ground. That’s on buildings, that’s on elevation, period,” he said.

Glover further noted that he doesn’t believe there were Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) around the event, claiming it was an example of a lack of preparedness. “The factthey didn’t have the right protocols in place just shows you the complacencyin these departments when it comes to things like this. We didn’t learn from Butler, Pennsylvania,” he argued.

Thomas Fitzsimmons, a security consultant, further emphasized the importance of advance work. “From a private security standpoint, preventing a motivated individual from attacking a client is challenging — due diligence and preparation and scrupulous advance work is the key.”

Fitzsimmons noted that, inhis experience, local police departments typically play only a limited role in event security, handling traffic and crowd control. “They simply do not have the budgets or manpower,” he said.

Gum saidthat “a simple drone operator with one flying overhead getting a bird’s eye view of all potential sniper positions— it would be able to see someone coming in very easy and send police or security team immediately to intercept, while everyone else can find cover.”

“It also could’ve been a potential Las Vegas shooter situation,” Gum asserted. “If someone wanted mass casualties, they could’ve killed 100-plus people with an M4 if they just fired into the crowd.Security was completely unprepared for thisand we were lucky that was not his intention. If it was a terror cell it could’ve been a complete disaster.”

Matranga emphasized that “particular types of outside political events” can’t continue without thorough advance work from security teams or law enforcement.(Dan Bongino said this also, no one did a minimal advance work, for Butler)

“It was very apparent that there were no screening procedures in place, there was no vetting of the people that were there, the event was pre planned and advertised very heavily,without any consideration for the polarization of the actual speaker,” he said.

=James Gagliano, a retired supervisory special agent in the FBI and Homeland Security doctoral candidate at St. John’s University, told the Caller he knew some of the former FBI agents who served on Kirk’s security team in the past. He emphasized that they “can only be close body men” and that it would take “20 or 30 men” with significant advance== work to prevent what happened.

Gagliano noted they didn’t have those resources and “nor really should you if it’s just somebody coming to exchange ideas. I hate to sound so fatalistic but I guess that’s where we’re at now.”

==The Global Reaction to Charlie Kirk’s Death Proves the Populist Convergence•=

Why vigils popped up in Europe for the late conservative activist.

By JAMES KIRCHICK

09/13/2025 02:00

This is why many hate Politico

Within minutes of the announcement that the American conservative activist Charlie Kirk had died from an assassin’s bullet,statements of grief came pouring in from leaders across Europe. “An atrocious murder, a deep wound for democracy and for those who believe in freedom,” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote on X. “France expresses its deep emotion following the assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the French Foreign Ministry proclaimed. Despite the 31-year-old political provocateuronce calling his country “a totalitarian third world hellhole,” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said it was “heartbreaking that a young family has been robbed of a father and a husband.”

Other reactions were less subdued. “Charlie Kirk’s death is the result of the international hate campaign waged by the progressive-liberal left,” seethed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, despite the fact that the murderer remained at large at the time and no motive was known.Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far right National Rally, condemned the “dehumanizing rhetoric of the left and its intolerance.” The clearest example of European political divisions over the assassination is the fight that erupted in the European parliamentover a request from the body’s far right bloc for a moment of silence in Kirk’s honor. After the motion was denied on procedural grounds, the Swedish Democrat MEP who backed it drew attention to the unfairness of it all by pointing to another martyred American, George Floyd, whose death at the hands of a law enforcement officer five years ago the parliament commemorated with a resolution condemning police brutality.

The murder in broad daylight of Charlie Kirk — someone who devoted his life to recruiting young people to join the right through the open exchange of ideas, and who leaves behind a wife and two young children —will have a dramatic impact on American politics and society the full extent of which is yet to be foreseen. Beyond the many practical changes that his assassination is likely to produce (fewer outdoor political events, increased calls for social media censorship, high-profile activists and pundits hiring private security details), =his death prompts several extremely important questions. Will political leaders and influential media figures tone down the dehumanizing and apocalyptic rhetoric that has convinced so many Americans that violence is the only solution to their problems? Will our professors think long and hard about why over a third of American college students believe that employing violence to stop a campus speech is justified?== Will everyday citizens diversify their media diets, or dig deeper into their rabidly partisan rabbit holes?

It’s the visceral reactions to this week’s tragedy in Europe, however, that I find most interesting. The easy answer for this phenomenon is that Kirk’s murder was an assault on the free society. Assassinating a public figure while he’s engaging in peaceful political activity is a blatant attack on the foundational values of the transatlantic community wherever one sits on the political spectrum. Other elements intensify the significance of the event. Kirk’s youth and ardency made him, in conservative eyes at least, something of a latter day Joan d’Arc, the televised spectacle of his slaying evoked the harrowing assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the setting of the university campus — where the pursuit of knowledge is supposed to be sacrosanct — made the attack that much more appalling. The social media fueled internationalization of politics also plays an important role; if one wishes to follow the political minutiae of Slovakia’s Gelnica province, never before has it been easier to do so. A Guardian story about Kirk’s influence published the day after he died featured bylines from Tokyo, Paris, Seoul, Taipei and Delhi.

Such factors cannot sufficiently explain, however, why vigils for Kirk popped up in London, Berlin, Madrid and Rome. Kirk was not an elected official, nor was he a traditional Republican.

He began his political life as a MAGA-red diaper baby, which makes the public statements by European leaders all the more remarkable.The insurgent Kirk, President Donald Trump’s most effective ambassador to the youth of America, represented something much larger than a domestic American political movement.

While future historians will determine the impact of Kirk’s death on American politics and society,his murder has made one thing abundantly clear: the unprecedented level of ideological convergence between the American and European right.
