US EditionUnitedHealth worker fired over Trump shooting remarks
UnitedHealth said the employee was removed after a viral clip drew backlash and renewed debate over political violence, with users sharing the video across X and TikTok.
- On Tuesday, UnitedHealth Group terminated an employee for online remarks about Saturday's assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, stating the comments contradicted its mission and values.
- A viral video circulating on X showed a woman reacting to the Washington event by saying her first thought was it was "probably fake" and her second was "aww, they missed."
- Social media users identified the woman as Alison King, a UnitedHealthcare social media manager, though the company did not confirm her identity; Senator Mike Lee demanded the organization respond.
- UnitedHealthcare leadership initiated termination immediately upon reviewing the remarks, according to internal sources, following the 2024 assassination of CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel.
- The incident demonstrates the reputational risks companies face regarding employee social media behavior, particularly following recent online glorification of political violence and intensified employer vigilance.
