NextImg:Too Soon: Reporter Asks Rep If Charlie Kirk Shooting Changed His Stance on Campus Carry

This editor bookmarked this post before news came that Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk had died from a gunshot wound suffered at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University. As we reported, The New Republic heard that Kirk had been shot and published the headline, "MAGA Troll Charlie Kirk Shot During Speaking Event at a University." They deleted that post when they found out he had died, but the screenshots live on. Jezebel posted two days ago that they had paid a witch on Etsy to put a curse on the "far-right misogynist." They added an editor's note after he died, saying some crap about political violence.

Just after the news spread that Kirk had been shot, a reporter asked Rep. Randy Fine of Florida this:

Our own Floridian, Just Mindy, identified the reporter as A.G. Gancarski, who writes for the website Florida Politics and later filed a story about Gov. Ron DeSantis condemning political violence.

Maybe it was a little too soon to be asking representatives about campus carry.

After deleting its tasteless headline, The New Republic immediately pivoted to, "The far-right pounces on the Left."

That's not a surprise. We wonder what we would have found in his timeline related to the shooting.
