Arbitration Board Says That Racist Grifter Karen Attiah Was Wrongly Fired for Making Up Fake Racist Quotes "by" Charlie Kirk and Celebrating His Murder; Hasan Piker Mocks Kirk's Murder in Hate Rally

Karen Attiah is a degenerate, unqualified DEI hire formerly, and now presently, employed by the Washington Post to write the same three columns about racism, colonialism, "Islamaphobia" and sexism over and over again while hammering checks.

After she made up fake quotes by Charlie Kirk and used them as a predicate for celebrating his murder, the incoming less-leftwing management of the Washington Post fired her.

She sued, which invoked an arbitration over the firing. (Which was specified in her contract, it seems.)

The arbitrator decided that it's no big deal for a "journalist" to make up quotes and justify political assassination of conservatives and ordered her to be rehired and be paid for the year she had off.

An arbitrator has ordered the Washington Post to rehire Karen Attiah, the opinion columnist who was fired last September after she blasted Charlie Kirk as "a white man that espoused violence" the day of his brutal assassination.

In a written decision Thursday, arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa said WaPo "did not have good and sufficient cause" to fire the scribe and "violated" its labor agreement with the controversial columnist.

Espinosa ordered the legacy newspaper to compensate Attiah with back pay and lost benefits.

"This decision confirms what we've said from the start: I was doing my job as an opinion journalist, and doing that job is not misconduct," Attiah told The Post in a statement, adding that she is "relieved to finally have that record set straight."

She added that she hopes her win "sends a message to journalists and media institutions everywhere that freedom of expression is always worth fighting for."

Really? Is conservatives' free speech worth fighting for?

If Scott Jennings glorifies violence against leftists, will you fight for his right to agitate for assassination while collecting a corporate check, too?

...

The decision -- which is binding, according to WaPo's labor agreement -- caps off a yearlong battle after Attiah argued a slew of controversial social media posts she fired off the day of Kirk's shocking killing did not violate company policy.

On Sept. 10, 2025, Attiah wrote in a Bluesky post: "Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men that espouse hatred and violence."

In another post that day, she wrote: "Refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is ... not the same as violence."

...

Wayne Connell, WaPo's chief HR officer, wrote that Attiah's Bluesky posts had violated the company's social media policies, harmed "the integrity of our organization" and potentially endangered "the physical safety of our staff."

...

Attiah's case against the WaPo went to arbitration in June and included testimony from her, O'Neal and Connell. Attiah was represented by lawyers from Democracy Defenders Action, a nonprofit co-founded by lawyer Norman Eisen, and the Washington-Baltimore News Guild.

Norman Eisen is the guy behind the Infinite Lawfare against Trump.

Eisen, one of Attiah's lawyers, called the decision "a thunderous victory for Karen Attiah, an award-winning journalist fired for doing her job, over Bezos' Washington Post."

Am I allowed to justify violence against Normal Eisen or is that an offense worthy of cancellation? I assume it's the latter, right?

Meanwhile, Gay Islamist Race Hustler and assassination-agitator Hasan Piker is on some kind of gay tour and led his crowd in cheering the murder of Charlie Kirk.

We have seen protesters on the left around the country mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even reenacting his murder. Hate traffickers like Jennifer Welch have even justified his assassination. It is all shocking and depressing, but none reached the level of Hasan Piker leading a huge crowd in mocking Kirk and his faith. Before he was murdered, Kirk debated Piker and called him a "socialist hypocrite." What is shocking is not the utter depravity and cruelty of Piker, but the ecstasy of the crowd in relishing the death of someone with opposing views. It is part of the conditioning in an "age of rage."

In the video, Piker leads the crowd in the meme song "We Are Charlie Kirk" at a stop of his "Fear& LIVE" tour, including such lines as "We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We'll fight for the Gospel, we'll honor his name." His co-hosts and the crowd seem to be laughing with joy.

Joining him at this hatefest at the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco on August 21 were reportedly Will Neff, QTCinderella, and AustinShow.

Hasan is wearing his now-signature Mao jacket as the young crowd and his co-hosts laugh hysterically. It is the very essence of this movement to desensitize people, particularly young people, to violence and hate.

In Rage and the Republic, I wrote about this national ragefest. It allows people to hate completely and without thought to the humanity of those being hurt. What people will not admit is that they like it. Rage is addictive, and it is contagious. Just look at the crowd in San Francisco, and you will see the addictive quality of uncut, undiluted hate:

Piker, Will Neff, QTCinderella, AustinShow, and these fans have every right to spread hate. It is protected speech just as KKK and neo-Nazi groups are allowed to promulgate their own hateful values.

What is exasperating is how hatemongers on the left want to enjoy hate speech while accusing others of hate and intolerance. They do so by excusing their actions or views by demonizing those who disagree. Democratic leaders continue the false claim that democracy is dying in America and that this may be our last free election. While made over multiple elections, this repeated claim of the imminent death of democracy (unless they are elected) does not appear to register with their supporters.
