A Raising Cane’s in Fort Collins, Colorado, dismissed multiple employees after they allegedly shouted “execute” and profanities at Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s supporters.
The confrontation occurred Sept. 18, when a group wearing MAGA attire visited the restaurant following a vigil for Kirk. Employees reportedly shouted “f*** Charlie Kirk,” “execute,” and “Free Palestine.” The restaurant confirmed to The Federalist that the staff members were terminated following an internal investigation.
Raising Cane’s issued a statement: “We received complaints about an incident … we thoroughly investigated … took appropriate action … and resolved the matter to the satisfaction of the customers who made the complaints.”
The firings follow a wave of backlash against public employees and media figures who made antagonistic comments after Kirk’s assassination. The article also highlights prior dismissals of a Washington Post columnist, university staff, and media analysts connected to comments about Kirk.
