Woman Who Tanked Boyfriend’s Career Over Charlie Kirk Comments Resurfaces After Backlash

4

ADVERTISEMENT

The woman who weighed in shortly after Charlie Kirk’s life was snuffed out by a sniper’s bullet, allegedly offering him the same “thoughts and prayers” he had offered to school mas**cre victims, has resurfaced to complain about the internet’s treatment of her.

At the time, Megan Farina claimed that she had lost some sympathy for Kirk, accusing him of “using his platform to spread hate.”

Highlights
  • Megan Farina said she lost sympathy for Kirk due to his stance on school shootings.
  • Her video sparked outrage, leading to doxxing and negative Yelp reviews of her workplace.
  • Farina resurfaced on Sept. 19, claiming her family has been “traumatized” by online attacks.

She then went on to call out Kirk’s stance on the 2023 Nashville school atrocity, which he dubbed “a prudent deal” for firearm rights.

The dissent for Farina’s vociferous contributions has since metastasized to her family and her boyfriend’s business, which now has a one-star rating on Yelp thanks to the internet’s doxing.

    “So yeah, I care about the innocent children, who go to school to learn, to get an education, who are children, minors, who are senselessly gunned down at school,” Farina said in the now-deleted video published on September 10.

    “I lose my sympathy a little bit when someone uses his entire life and his entire platform to spread racism, hate, bigotry, misogyny, anti-trans, anti-gay rhetoric – I mean everything you can imagine, this man has done.”

    “And I offer him thoughts and prayers, which is what he can offer us after every time a child is senselessly gunned down at school.”

    At the time, it had been confirmed that Kirk had been shot, but the news of his succumbing to his wound had not yet been released.

    Farina’s workplace was doxed and received a string of bad ratings.

    The internet reacted with dissent, and vitriol poured into the video’s comment section.

    Internet sleuths tracked down 34-year-old Justin Krinley, who was associated with a family business that Farina had recently joined.

    The company’s Yelp rating dropped like a stone and attracted a string of bad reviews.

    “I’m here to warn that if you ever need electrical [work] done and are conservative and hire them, they may or may not cause an accidental fire or more damage than one started with. They are not safe to hire, unfortunately,” wrote one, as a nod to her Farina and her outspoken partisan stance.

    “I think that to be a family-owned company and use that to try and get people to trust you is a joke. You can’t use family to earn trust when your partner is all over the internet celebrating a family being violently torn apart,” echoed another detractor.

    Farina has since broken her silence on the public thrashing she and those around her have been subjected to.

    In a new video posted on September 19, she complained: “We have been traumatized and stripped of our privacy, all because I said Charlie Kirk – who did not believe in empathy himself – did not have mine.”

    “I think the most ironic thing is that my life and my family’s lives have been torn apart over my words on the internet by the very people who support Charlie Kirk and are always yelling the loudest about their First Amendment right,” she continued.

    Response to her second video suggests that her critics have not yet forgiven her

    Like Farina, her critics have not backed down, and one wrote: “You mocked a [deceased] man. You danced, sang, and smiled. Of course, people are going to get mad.”

    “Why delete the video if you did nothing wrong?” asked another.

    “The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who [assassinated] Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” the host said on Monday, September 15.

    He then took aim at Vice President JD Vance, FBI Director Kash Patel, and the POTUS, saying, “This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

    The blowback was swift: By Wednesday of the same week, he had been indefinitely suspended. 

    Like Farina, he is unapologetic.

    The internet has little sympathy for Megan Farina

    If this site is going to become a right wing echo chamber, I'm out. There have been dozens of articles, all empathetic to the murder of a man who reaped what he had sown. Where were the articles when democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were m******d? Or when democratic Governor Josh Shapiro and his family had a Molotov cocktail thrown into their home? Or when then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul was brutally attacked with a hammer? Crickets. Charlie Kirk was a hateful, right wing mouthpiece who advocated violence. His own actions led to his death.

    Charlie Kirk was a TERRIBLE human being. I for one do not mourn his death nor will I ever say he did not deserve what he got, because he very clearly did. He promoted gun violence and stated that shootings were the price to pay for "freedom". The MAGA cult is INSANE.

    What cult are you talking about? What mob? I have no idea what you're trying to say here. I'm sure some may be happy about it, but I've literally never seen anyone online actually say that. Most people from the left feel indifferent about it at the most. The shooter wasn't even part of the left. There is no leftist equivalent of ISIS. The reason they say hypocrite is because the freedom to say anything was one of the biggest things Kirk and his followers championed. To then turn around and destroy someone's life over something they said is -absolutely- hypocritical. That is the definition of the word. He was allowed to give huge speeches at colleges where he espoused that shootings (including those of children at school) were a side effect of 2nd amendment rights that he was ok with, yet someone stating that they had no empathy for his shooting is wrong? You state that you aren't from the US, but before you wade into our politics, perhaps do a bit more reading and get actual facts.

    I have a new service I'd like to advertise to all businesses and employees of businesses not directly or indirectly involved in politics. It's called STFU. If you take sides you will be vilified. If the wrong people notice your opinion they will harass you online and they will go after your livelihood. Regular use of our STFU program will make sure no one comes after you for expressing an opinion. The online world is beyond toxic. Cancel culture weaponized the internet and weapons don't care about the ideology of the people wielding them. If you use the STFU process, you don't need to worry about being the doxed and destroyed. If you have an opinion, express it at the Thanksgiving table and start an argument. It will distract everyone from gossiping that your uncle's new girlfriend is way too young for him.

    You don't see a problem with that idea? That is literally what people are fighting for. The government is illegally censoring people, and using the MAGA mob combined with the Federal Government to not only stiffle free speech, but actively prosecute people for legal speech, thus causing a chilling effect where everyone is scared to talk about reality/truth. Your idea to "stfu" is literally what f*****t dictators want; either spread their lies, or have your life ruined by a bunch of extremists and/or government officials.

    (1) Identifying the corporation someone works for is not doxxing. (2) No-one's home was burnt down. (3) Her comments regarding Kirk were probably libelous. (4) She personally called for the cancellation of anyone who wouldn't profess that they voted for Kamala Harris. (5) As much as I hate cancelation, sometimes there is a wise business decision to distance someone gravely harming your brand. If, for instance, Roseanne's show was among the least popular shows on TV, instead of twice as popular as any other show out there, no-one would have been surprised that she was pulled off the air. In the case of Jimmy Kimmel, The FCC is charged with enforcing laws requiring ABC to serve a "public good" by "informed political discussion." The incredible financial losses of his show belie its political intent. This was but one in a number of outrageous comments by Kimmel, including advocating that hospitals allow non-covid-vaccinated patients to die, because "they deserve to die." (I don't like the FCC's role in broadcast licensing, but the law is what it is.)

    Let me real clear: when you say someone deserves to die, outside of the context of judicial enforcement of a morally just law, you have become the bad guy. (I mourn that I have to explain this, but "morally just" excludes laws which equate potential harm with actual harm or go beyond "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.)

    While I don't agree with doxxing and cancel culture (stop it, people!), her problem is that she has clearly never, ever watched an episode of Charlie Kirk in her life. All people, no matter what their political persuasion, need to stop and actually do the homework to check whether something is true and in context before they post--not simply repeat talking points and false narratives. I don't understand how anyone could be that intellectually lazy in this "the internet is forever" age.

If, for instance, Roseanne's show was among the least popular shows on TV, instead of twice as popular as any other show out there, no-one would have been surprised that she was pulled off the air. In the case of Jimmy Kimmel, The FCC is charged with enforcing laws requiring ABC to serve a "public good" by "informed political discussion." The incredible financial losses of his show belie its political intent. This was but one in a number of outrageous comments by Kimmel, including advocating that hospitals allow non-covid-vaccinated patients to die, because "they deserve to die." (I don't like the FCC's role in broadcast licensing, but the law is what it is.)

    Let me real clear: when you say someone deserves to die, outside of the context of judicial enforcement of a morally just law, you have become the bad guy. (I mourn that I have to explain this, but "morally just" excludes laws which equate potential harm with actual harm or go beyond "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.)

    While I don't agree with doxxing and cancel culture (stop it, people!), her problem is that she has clearly never, ever watched an episode of Charlie Kirk in her life. All people, no matter what their political persuasion, need to stop and actually do the homework to check whether something is true and in context before they post--not simply repeat talking points and false narratives. I don't understand how anyone could be that intellectually lazy in this "the internet is forever" age.

    Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequence. Not that I agree with Charlie Kirk but I certainly wouldn't go on social media and say things about it. This b***h wanted attention and she got it.

    He and many others said worse and hid behind “freedom of speech”.
