(TargetDailyNews.com) – Democrats around the country are garnering flak over their posts online that express glib dissatisfaction that a shooter failed to murder former President Donald Trump on July 13 during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One six-figure salaried employee with the New York City government was suspended as a consequence of his post saying “too bad he missed” on social media going viral.
Tyler Barbieri earns $112,604/year as an analyst working under the Office of Management of Budget. He’s been with the city in that role for at least six years. He was suspended after he posted the comment as a story on his Instagram account.
“Absolutely sickening” and “needs to be fired” were some of the comments in response to the post being shared on X. Barbieri, 37, deleted the post as well as his LinkedIn account following the backlash.
New York Mayor Eric Adams said they took “swift action” once they discovered the content. A representative for the mayor said that such commentary, even if they’re joking, is inappropriate and doesn’t represent their values.
Despite the unpaid suspension, it seems unlikely he’ll be fired. The mayor’s office also suggested Barbieri acknowledged the behavior was inappropriate and apologized. According to a source with the city, the apology was written and verbal.
Republicans suggested he should be fired due to the complete absence of good judgment from a government worker who collects taxpayer dollars as his salary. Another government employee from Mississippi was fired after she suggested “shooting lessons” between caveats that she doesn’t condone violence and that wasn’t her talking.
Jacqueline Marsaw posted the comments to Facebook the evening of the assassination attempt. She also thought that the shooting was staged despite a death and two injuries amongst the crowd. She also claimed the shooting was the result of Trump engaging in “hate speech,” a catch-all term for speech leftists don’t like.
