A nurse’s blood ran cold when a doctor smirked “He had it coming” right in front of shocked patients and staff—celebrating Charlie Kirk’s brutal assassination like it was good riddance. But when she stood up and called him out, her reward? A suspension without pay and a shove toward the door. What kind of twisted payback is this in a place sworn to heal?
It’s the nightmare that boils your veins: a healer turning hater in scrubs, a whistleblower gagged for daring to defend decency, all while the echoes of a sniper’s shot still fade from headlines. This isn’t just workplace drama—it’s a stark slap to anyone who’s ever believed speaking truth shouldn’t cost your livelihood, stirring up a storm of “enough is enough” across feeds and front pages.

A New Jersey surgeon allegedly “cheered” the assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk — and a nurse who spoke out against the vile act claims she’s been suspended for her objections.
Lexi Kuenzle, a nurse at Englewood Health, filed a lawsuit Friday in Bergen County Superior County Court against the hospital, Dr. Matthew Jung and others claiming she was wrongly fired for calling out the doctor’s vile act on her personal Instagram account.
“[Kuenzle] had the audacity to question how Dr. Jung can comply with the Hippocratic Oath’s and the American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics while celebrating the murder of a non-violent Christian speaker who was on a college campus,” the suit says.

Kuenzle was in front of a nurse’s station with eight other nurses, and a patient in a stretcher, when the news of Kirk’s death broke.
“Oh, my God! That’s terrible! I love him!” Kuenzle said, before Jung shot back.
“I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming. He deserved it,” the bariatric surgeon allegedly said.
“You’re a doctor. How could you say someone deserved to die?” Kuenzie recalled replying.
“It was mind-blowing to me ,” the 33-year-old Hoboken resident told The Post Saturday. “I was so angry and upset.”
Kuenzle said she reported Wednesday’s incident to management immediately and then posted about it on social media when she got home.

The following day she was pulled into a meeting with hospital brass and suspended without pay pending a probe, the nurse claimed. A union rep also suggested she start looking for another job.
Kuenzle, an avid conservative whose Instagram photos include her posing in a bikini holding an American flag and a large cardboard figure of President Trump, has been a nurse for 10 years, including nearly two at Englewood Health.

It was unclear Saturday whether Jung had been disciplined for his remarks.
The doctor did offer to “buy lunch” for the nurses who heard his rant, but if Jung “were to follow through on his “mocking” offer “it would not have included plaintiff because she had been suspended without pay,” according to the lawsuit.

Kuenzle is seeking unspecified damages.
GOP activist Scott Presler called the nurse one of “Charlie’s Angels” and questioned on social media whether Jung has the ability to treat patients who disagree with his politics.
“Would he treat them differently? Would he allow his emotions to cloud his judgement, as he did by saying such a statement in front of a patient?” he said.
