The Gateway Pundit reported on the story of nurse Lexi Kuenzle, who was placed on leave after publicly sharing the disturbing behavior of a doctor following Charlie Kirk’s political assassination.
According to Kuenzle, Dr. Matthew Jung, a doctor at Englewood Health, told a group that included healthcare professionals and a patient that Kirk “had it coming” and “deserved it.”
Kuenzle reported the incident to management and shared it on her private Instagram. Kuenzle then received an email from her union representative saying that she needed to “look for another job.”
Lexi was later pulled into a meeting and suspended pending an investigation.
After her story received national attention, Fox News reports that Jung has now resigned from his position.
Per Fox News:
Englewood Health says it “diligently investigated” the September 10 incident “between a doctor and a nurse in a patient care area.” The update came after nurse Lexi Kuenzle, 33, sued Englewood Health and Dr. Matthew Jung, alleging that Jung “cheered and celebrated” Charlie Kirk’s assassination in comments made in front of patients and hospital staff, and that she was suspended after she reported him.
While the findings of the hospital’s investigation have not been disclosed, a spokesperson for the healthcare provider told Fox News Digital in an email that it has “[a]ccepted the physician’s resignation, and the nurse is expected to work her scheduled shifts.”
A hospital spokesperson added, “The nurse was never fired; was never told she would be fired by Englewood Hospital; and will not miss any pay as part of our review of this matter.”
Activist Scott Pressler shared her story and interviewed Lexi by phone following the initial incident. She told him at the time, “I was deeply saddened over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. It was devastating to hear of the killing of an innocent father and I thought everyone would agree — especially a doctor whose purpose is to save lives.”
“In a time where personal social ideologies are often celebrated, especially if they align with popular progressive topics, I simply aimed to stand up for what is right. They tried to shut me up, but they’re not going to.”
