“SlayTheGOP” Influencer Loses Job Over Posts Mocking Kirk’s Murder

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – A human resources professional out of Scottsdale, Arizona, who moonlights as a social media personality, is among those recently fired from their job after celebrating the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, claiming he spent his career “spreading hate” and worked to organize a protest at a vigil in Kirk’s memory at Arizona State University.

In the wake of Kirk’s untimely and shocking passing, countless individuals thought it appropriate to celebrate Kirk’s murder or tacitly justify it by falsely smearing his work as being nothing more than propagandizing efforts to spread bigotry. One such individual is 31-year-old Kimberly Hunt.

Hunt, otherwise known as “SlayTheGOP” on platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, previously worked as a human resources generalist for AIMS Companies’ corporate office out of Scottsdale, Arizona, while moonlighting as a micro-influencer on social media fixated on lambasting anyone who espouses conservative-leaning positions or principles.  

Now if Hunt’s online exploits were limited solely to the “owning the right” variety of rhetoric, it could perhaps be eyebrow raising to some of the employees at AIMS Companies who lean more to the right politically, but it likely wouldn’t be alarming.

However, much like many of the outspoken leftists terminally online, Hunt couldn’t help but take time out of her afternoon the day after Kirk was murdered to post a video to TikTok claiming his daughters are “better off without him.”

Hunt’s video would go on to make radical claims against Kirk’s work, suggesting, “many children, teens, and adults have died by suicide because of his rhetoric,” and that his open-debate forums across college campuses have resulted in “hate crimes.”

Not even 24 hours after Kirk was assassinated in front of his family and thousands of others, Hunt asserted she doesn’t harbor any sympathy for Kirk’s wife Erika because, “She chose him. She stood by him. She supported him and she co-signed everything he said and did. She laid in bed with that man knowing exactly who he was.”

Hunt would later take to Facebook to continue her abhorrent justifications of Kirk’s murder, opening her post with, “This isn’t about Charlie Kirk ‘dying for voicing his opinions.’ Stop framing it like that. He wasn’t just some guy with an unpopular take. He was a man who built an entire platform to spread hate, fear, and division.”

In Hunt’s opinion, Kirk’s cordial debates and conversations held over the past decade-plus “goes way beyond free speech,” a tacit endorsement of the type of violence extreme leftists often encourage be used against counterpoints and perspectives they disagree with.

Two days after Kirk was assassinated, Hunt hopped on Facebook once again to attack those mourning the passing of Kirk by saying the people attending his vigil “look f*cking stupid.”

In an unsurprising move thereafter, Hunt used her social media following to help organize a protest outside of a September 15th vigil held in Kirk’s honor at ASU in Tempe, Arizona, saying it was “ghoulish of ASU” to host the vigil.



Outside of the general repulsive nature of Hunt’s social media activity, what makes the matter all the more concerning is that she was working in human resources for a company with locations in not only Arizona, but Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Nevada, California, Oregon, and fittingly Utah – the state where Kirk was assassinated and whose community is among the many impacted over his September 10th murder.

There are likely countless employees of AIMS Companies who were shocked and saddened by Kirk’s passing, undoubtedly some of them working out of the Salt Lake City, Utah office considering the proximity to the tragedy – and those employees’ human resources professional from their corporate office seems to endorse the murder of those she’s ideologically opposed to.

In instances such as these, the externalities stretch much further than a typical ‘person online said something insensitive’ set of circumstances, Hunt’s openly aired sentiments translate into an alarming workplace safety scenario.

This individual handled all manner of personal identifiable information of AIMS Companies’ employees, from home addresses, identities of insurance dependents, and even social security numbers.

If Hunt is embroiled in the sort of radical activism that endorses the assassination of people she’s politically opposed to, openly spreading said sentiments to thousands online, and leading protests at vigils, what was stopping her from taking advantage of her position at AIMS Companies to expand upon these exploits?

When reached out for comment regarding Hunt's social media exploits, a spokesperson for the company shared the following comments, "We are aware that an employee of AIMS Companies recently made comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk that were viewed as inappropriate and unpopular. We want to be clear that these comments do not reflect the values or views of AIMS Companies or any of its affiliates.  As a result, the individual who made these comments is no longer employed with AIMS Companies."

At the end of the day, it’s not necessarily about Hunt being abhorrent on social media, it’s the fact she presents a literal danger to her fellow employees in the workplace in the off chance she takes issue with their personal politics.
