NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A woman who worked for the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance was removed from her position last week over online comments about Charlie Kirk’s murder.

The commissioner of the TDCI released this statement on Friday, September 12:

“Today, I learned of comments made on social media by a now-former TDCI employee regarding the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk,” wrote Commissioner Carter Lawrence. “Further investigation into her social media, in which she linked herself to the Department, revealed bias and disregard toward the very people she was tasked with serving.”
