A longtime columnist at The Washington Post says the Jeff Bezos-owned paper fired her over posts she made in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Karen Attiah wrote on Substack that her BlueSky posts were deemed “unacceptable” and that her 11-year career at the Post ended last week. She alleged that the paper “rushed to fire me without even a conversation.”

“This was not only a hasty overreach, but a violation of the very standards of journalistic fairness and rigor the Post claims to uphold,” she said.

Attiah, 39, indicated that she disagrees with the decision, claiming she did not celebrate the murder of Kirk but instead “pointed to the familiar pattern of America shrugging off gun deaths, and giving compassion for white men who commit and espouse political violence.”
