In an appalling show of retributive thought-policing, the Washington Post has FIRED its last full-time Black opinion columnist for criticizing Charlie Kirk.
After Kirk's assassination, Karen Attiah, an eleven-year veteran of the Post, wrote a thread on Bluesky condemning political violence and criticizing how America shrugs off gun deaths and gives compassion for white men who commit political violence.
"I did my journalistic duty, reminding people that despite President Trump's partisan rushes to judgement, no suspect or motive had been identified in the killing of Charlie Kirk — exercising restraint even as I condemned hatred and violence" writes Attiah in a Substack piece about her firing.

"My only direct reference to Kirk was one post— his own words on record." Attiah paraphrased one of Kirk's most revolting statements, where he claimed that "Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person's slot."
Just for paraphrasing Kirk IN HIS OWN WORDS, the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post told her that was "unacceptable" and "gross misconduct" and accused her of "endangering the physical safety of colleagues," which is beyond ridiculous. To protect the integrity of one of our nation's most important newspapers, the Washington Post must rehire Karen Attiah immediately.
