US EditionUpdate: NJ Doctor Resigns After Charlie Kirk Comments, Suspension, Lawsuit
- A New Jersey physician resigned following reports that he expressed approval of the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week, while a nurse subsequently filed a lawsuit against both him and their employer.

- Kuenzle’s coworker said, “I'm glad, he deserved it,” publicly apologized with a lunch offer, while the doctor mockingly offered lunch to those offended, worsening the hostile work environment.
- The doctor’s resignation was accepted and the nurse will continue scheduled shifts as Englewood Health reaffirmed its commitment to a safe, respectful, and professional environment.
