A New Jersey nurse stated that she was suspended without pay after speaking out against a surgeon who allegedly celebrated the slaying of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
Lexi Kuenzle, 33, filed a lawsuit in Bergen County Superior Court, claiming Englewood Health retaliated against her for publicly challenging the surgeon’s remarks both at work and on social media.
The hospital has since confirmed that it has accepted Dr. Matthew Jung’s resignation, and that Kuenzle has been reinstated.
