The fallout from the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk is not going away anytime soon. The outpouring of support and vows of continuing where Charlie left off from conservatives are being echoed literally around the world. Despite the love and support shown, there has been an equal amount of what can only be described as pure evil. Social media is ripe with posts and videos of those on the left celebrating the murder of a man who was, first and foremost, a husband and father. And the people who are engaging in it populate professions that make it that much more disturbing.
It is highly disturbing. Teachers and nurses are over-represented in the warped, immoral, despicable social media posts gloating about the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk. These are people who do not belong in positions of teaching or "caring" for others. https://t.co/agJY95OcbE

In my pre-RedState life, I worked in healthcare, more specifically as a pharmacy technician. But the behavior of many in that field in the last week, I have to say, has literally made me ashamed to say I was ever associated with that field. I get it, there are bad apples in every bunch, and healthcare is no different than any other field. But this is different. These are the people charged with saving lives and comforting family members. Are we learning that there are really ghouls underneath the white coats and scrubs?

I spent 30 years in healthcare. Healthcare workers are some of the hardest-working people there are. They work a lot of overtime, they come to work with colds, which, in all fairness, maybe isn't the best idea, but they do it. They spend a lot of time on their feet wearing bad shoes, and most of all, they take a lot of crap from the public, which more often than not is unwarranted. I did all of that too.
But for all of the bad, there was a lot of good. I met my husband at the first hospital I worked at, and I worked with some of the most amazing people, pharmacists and other technicians who came to work every day to do the best job they could for their patients. They also made the job fun. But I don't recall anyone asking patients who they voted for before dispensing meds.
It's also the same place I met the friend, who is a nurse, who unfriended me on social media after Donald Trump's reelection in 2024.
Why to liberals feel compelled to make inappropriate posts that advocate violence? This healthcare worker lost her job because of it. Was it was worth it?

I've always known that healthcare leaned left. Proof of that was their unwavering support of transgender surgeries for minors until President Trump's executive order banning such procedures. But in all those years, I don't think I really began to notice it until I started my last pharmacy job in 2014 at another area hospital. I started that job in November of that year, three months after Ferguson, Missouri, and Michael Brown. I was training one day, learning where the med rooms were on the floors, and what the procedures were, and the girl I was training with and I started talking. Long story short, the conservatives in the pharmacy didn't dare offer up their opinions on the Michael Brown situation, or anything else for that matter. Maybe work isn't the proper place to discuss politics, but why was it OK for others to speak up but not the conservatives? The conservatives also didn't advertise themselves, but we all knew who the others were, a kind of stealthy clique.
For people who spend years in school learning how to save lives, the fact that they would celebrate the death of someone just because they disagree with them shows just how far healthcare has fallen. But with medical schools prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), is it any wonder we have gotten to this point? Is it the caliber of people entering the field? It is certainly not a way to make a quick buck. Maybe a better question is, does the left have such a stranglehold on healthcare that conservatives still cannot speak up and out the lefty bad apples who are making the disgusting posts about Charlie Kirk's death and making the rest of them look bad? If so, glad I got out when I did.
Take a close look at many of the groups we see over-represented in celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death:

-Teachers
-Healthcare Professionals
-Government Workers
These are NOT radical blue-haired freaks. They are the highly-indoctrinated Democrat rank and file.
Maybe the best I can hope for is that because of Charlie, the bad apples are weeding themselves out.
