Virtually everybody employed, probably including yourself, has a code of conduct in your contract that you have to adhere to. NFL players have it, Major League Baseball players have it, and if you don't adhere to that conduct, if you say things that are reprehensible, that glorify someone's death or make fun of it in some way, yeah, you can be fired."

Senator Rand Paul criticized FCC Chair Brendan Carr for publicly suggesting ABC suspend late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after Kimmel suggested Charlie Kirk's killer was a Trump supporter. Paul called Carr's intervention inappropriate and said the FCC should have nothing to do with network employment decisions. Paul also condemned Kimmel's on-air characterization as reprehensible and argued employees can face firing for conduct that glorifies or mocks death, citing codes of conduct across professional sports. Reporting indicated the suspect, Tyler Robinson, showed leftist ties, a romantic relationship with a trans roommate, Antifa-associated language, and text messages citing Kirk's alleged hatred as motive.
