New Bedford Firefighter Suspended Over Kirk Comment

A New Bedford firefighter has been suspended over a comment he made about the late Charlie Kirk. 

 

Officials say Jonathan Pacheco was placed on paid leave earlier this month as the department launched an investigation into the incident. 

 

A screenshot shared from X shows a post Pacheco allegedly made, where he called the assassinated political commentator a derogatory name and said the world is better off without him.
