A New Jersey nurse has filed a lawsuit claiming she was suspended
without pay as retaliation after objecting to a doctor who allegedly
celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
According to the complaint filed Sept. 12 in Bergen County Superior
Court, Lexi Kuenzle says Englewood Health retaliated against her by
suspending her without pay after she challenged Dr. Matthew Jung for
alleged remarks he made in front of staff and patients.

Suspended In Charlie Kirk Dispute
The lawsuit alleges Dr. Jung cheered and publicly praised the murder
of a Christian whose only crime was standing up for his faith.
Kuenzle, a practicing Christian, said she told him his words violated
the Hippocratic Oath and created a hostile work environment.
Instead of addressing her concerns, the suit claims, Jung mocked the
offended staff members by offering to buy lunch for anyone upset by
his comments, the complaint says.
The lawsuit says Kuenzle spoke out on her own social media against the
doctors alleged remarks and was punished at work for it as a
result.
Kunezle told the NY Post that she reported the bariatric surgeon's
alleged remarks to hospital administrators before posting about it
online.
Hospital administrators Maria Carvalho and Barbara Crowley later
suspended Kuenzle without pay, the filing says. Kuenzle told the NY
Post that she was notified of her suspension pending an investigation.
Englewood Health declined comment citing pending litigation.
As of press time, Jung's page on the hospital website had been
removed; however, it was unclear whether or not any action had been
taken against him.
Defendants systematically discriminated and retaliated against her,
the lawsuit states.
"This action is being filed with Plaintiff waits to hear whether
Defendants will fire her for speaking up or merely continue their
adverse job action by suspending her without pay."
