"By publishing a vile cartoon about the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, the paper has mocked tragedy, stoked division, and poured gasoline on the flames of political violence, Garcia said in a statement to the New York Post. This isn't journalism. It's a reckless, partisan attack that blames the victim, silences free speech, and shames everything this country should stand for, he added."
"The unconscionable cartoon in Newsday trivializing the assassination of Charlie Kirk is so over the top despicable that it is shocking even for the majority of us who realized long ago that Newsday abandoned any pretension of fairness. Cancel Newsday!"
Newsday published a syndicated political cartoon by Chip Bok that depicted an empty bloodstained chair at a tent marked "Charlie Kirk" and "Prove me Wrong," with an arrow pointing to Turning Point USA. The cartoon prompted swift backlash from conservative leaders and readers, who demanded Newsday drop Bok's contract, apologize, and faced calls for a boycott of Long Island's only daily paper. Suffolk County Republican leaders and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman publicly condemned the image as trivializing political violence and urged cancellations. Newsday subsequently issued a full apology amid the escalating controversy.
