Even far-left newspapers are starting to feel the heat over leftists openly celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Radical Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah, who has stirred up racial hatred for years while writing for the liberal paper, revealed she was fired after posting a series of messages on the hateful, far-left social media website BlueSky.

“Last week, the Washington Post fired me,” Attiah wrote in her Substack, “The Golden Hour by Karen Attiah.” “The reason? Speaking out against political violence, racial double standards, and America’s apathy toward guns.”

“The Post accused my measured Bluesky posts of being “unacceptable,” “gross misconduct” and of endangering the physical safety of colleagues — charges without evidence, which I reject completely as false,” she whined.

“They 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.”

Indeed, Attiah’s BlueSky posts reveal a harsh anti-gun message and do not promote violence. But what she fails to mention is that she bashes white men in at least three of them, consistent with her nature.

In one, she writes, “Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness, and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.” What about other races that commit far more crimes than whites?

“Refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is…. not the same as violence,” she said in another post.

Attiah even mocks Christians while continuing her anti-white rant.

“Because America, especially white America is not going to do what it needs to do to get rid of the guns in their country, it will be thoughts and prayers, “violence has no place” out of a performance of goodness, not out of the resolve to convince their communities to disarm,” she wrote.

Considering this material, it’s little wonder why Attiah’s bosses felt they had no choice but to can her. The only mistake they made was not doing it years ago.
