ABC affiliate anchor Beni Rae Harmony resigned on Monday after she was suspended for paying tribute to Charlie Kirk.
TPUSA founder and conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University last week.
Beni Rae Harmony was suspended after she delivered a heartfelt message to her audience after her “mentor,” Charlie Kirk, was gunned down.
On Monday, she resigned from the network.
“Effective immediately, I have resigned from @WICS_ABC20 after being SUSPENDED for airing a non-partisan tribute to Charlie Kirk this past Friday,” Beni Rae Harmony said.
“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 said. “My resignation is 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.”
“God Bless Charlie Kirk and his beautiful family, and God Bless these United States of America,” she added.
