Claim 3: “She wrote “Good riddance” on a friend’s Facebook page after Charlie Kirk was assassinated last September. Emory University fired her. Now Anna Kenney …”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states that Anna Kenney wrote 'Good riddance' after Charlie Kirk was assassinated last September. The evidence directly contradicts the assassination part. While sources confirm Anna Kenney wrote 'good riddance' and that Emory University was involved, the web search results show that Charlie Kirk was not assassinated; instead, one source mentions a 'private backlash' after a 'turning point' regarding Israeli influence, which is not the same as assassination.
