Bill Maher is on point on socialism.

But I don’t feel bad for liberals watching their party get infested with third worldist, anti-America, Marxist retards.

The boomer Dems allowed it.

Lesson is: burn your big tents. Exclusion is just as, if not more important than inclusion.

Many Americans believe Charlie Kirk advocated for gays to be stoned to death.

Stephen King was one.

He apologized. That’s good.

But people celebrating death don’t know.

We’re all in echo chambers.

Clips are driving opinions of strangers.

And it’s putting us all in danger.

Subject: Legal Concerns Regarding Beni Rae Harmony's Resignation

WICS ABC 20 Management,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent events involving Beni Rae Harmony, who resigned after being suspended for airing a tribute to her mentor, Charlie Kirk. This situation raises several legal issues that I believe warrant your attention.

First, Harmony's tribute was a personal expression of her respect and gratitude towards someone who significantly influenced her career. Such expressions are protected under the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech. While the First Amendment primarily applies to government actions, private employers like WICS ABC 20 must also consider the broader implications of restricting speech, especially when it does not directly interfere with workplace functions or harm the company's interests.

The action taken against Harmony—suspension and subsequent resignation—may be seen as a form of retaliation for exercising her right to free expression. Retaliation against an employee for expressing personal views, particularly when those views do not violate company policy or disrupt the workplace, could potentially violate employment laws. Several states, including Illinois, have laws that protect employees from discrimination based on political affiliation or expression, even in private workplaces. For instance, Illinois law prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on their political beliefs or activities, unless such discrimination is directly related to the employee's job performance.

Moreover, the decision to suspend Harmony for a non-partisan tribute could be perceived as discriminatory, especially given the context of other media outlets facing backlash for mocking Kirk's assassination. This disparity in treatment might suggest a bias against certain viewpoints, which could lead to legal challenges under anti-discrimination laws.

The public reaction, as evidenced by trending posts and calls for boycotts, indicates a significant concern about the legality and fairness of your actions. This backlash underscores the need for WICS ABC 20 to ensure that its policies comply with both state and federal employment laws, particularly those protecting free speech and preventing retaliation.
I urge you to consult with legal counsel to review the legality of your actions concerning Harmony's suspension and resignation. Reconsidering this decision and potentially reinstating Harmony or offering a resolution that respects her rights could mitigate legal risks and restore public trust in your station.

Thank you for considering this perspective. I hope for a positive outcome that aligns with legal standards and journalistic integrity.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This brave woman honored a hero gunned down just days ago on Sept 10, and what does @WICS_ABC20 do? They SILENCE her! You people are the PROBLEM—biased media stifling free speech while pushing leftist agendas. Enough is ENOUGH!

Only ~1.5% of white Americans in 1860 owned slaves. Why do so many people act as if this was all white people?

Also around 300,000 white men died in the Civil War fighting to end it.

History is more complex than the narratives we’re being sold.
