However, some sources discuss the backlash against individuals who criticized Charlie Kirk or celebrated his death, with some facing consequences such as being fired from their jobs [4] [5] [6] [7]. Key points to note are that the sources primarily focus on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death and the conservative campaign to get his critics ostracized or fired, rather than addressing any consequences he may have faced for his comments during his lifetime [1] [4].
