They lost their jobs after posting about Charlie Kirk, but some have no regrets
- In September 2025, Gerald Bourguet felt he was finally living his dream life: he and his wife had bought a house with a pool, they had just welcomed a baby boy, and he was writing about professional men's basketball as his full-time job.
- But all of that changed after he made a series of online posts critical of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk hours after he was fatally shot on 10 September, while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University.
- In the posts, Bourguet described Kirk as an "evil man" and suggested he had dedicated his life to hateful causes.
