Joe Burrow Charity Fires Board Member Over Charlie Kirk Comments

The Joe Burrow Foundation has removed Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Ted Berry from its advisory board following his controversial social media posts about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Berry posted remarks on Facebook such as "Rest in Hatred & Division!" and questioned how Kirk "feels about gun violence & gun control in Hell," which sparked widespread criticism including calls for his resignation from Ohio state representatives. The foundation stated that Berry's comments were inappropriate and do not reflect its values or mission, emphasizing their commitment to accountability and respect. Berry later expressed regret if his comments caused division and stated he does not condone violence. This incident highlights the broader backlash and sensitive political climate following Kirk's assassination, which has also led to other public figures facing consequences for their remarks. Joe Burrow, as the founder of the foundation, has taken a clear stance distancing the organization from Berry's comments, reinforcing the charity's mission to support children facing mental health and food insecurity challenges.
