"Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination. I believe I am the first to be targeted for honoring him on air."
"An Illinois television reporter has resigned from her job as an anchor for a local ABC affiliate after she was suspended for airing a tearful tribute to her late mentor, conservative leader Charlie Kirk, after his assassination in Utah last week.
"Beni Rae Harmony announced on social media her decision to leave WICS-ABC20 Springfield,
claiming she faced retaliation from the station for broadcasting what she called a "non-partisan tribute."
"Effective immediately, I have resigned from @WICS_ABC20 after being SUSPENDED for airing a non-partisan tribute to Charlie Kirk this past Friday," she posted on X. "Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination. I believe I am the first to be targeted for honoring him on air."
She added that her decision to resign was "guided by values that are essential to who I am, which I refuse to set aside in order to keep a job. I choose my faith and love of country, and always will."
Harmony concluded by thanking "Springfield. My home. My community. My people," and adding "God Bless Charlie Kirk and his beautiful family, and God Bless these United States of America." . . .
