SC AG: No criminal liability if Clemson University fires professors following Kirk death comments

Columbia, S.C. (WOLO)–South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson says Clemson University can fire employees for comments made after the death of Charlie Kirk without facing criminal charges. On Saturday the university announced it was suspending one professor for comments about Kirk’s death on social media. Other professors also made comments critical of Kirk on-line. Wilson says while the state’s “political firing” statute provides for potential civil claims it does not create any criminal liability.
