TV anchor Beni Rae Harmony resigns after being suspended for airing ‘non-partisan tribute’ to Charlie Kirk
By Richard Pollina

An Illinois TV anchor has resigned from a local ABC-affiliated station after she said she was suspended for airing a tearjerking “non-partisan tribute” to her mentor, Charlie Kirk, following his assassination.

Beni Rae Harmony announced she was leaving WICS-ABC20 Springfield on Monday after she allegedly faced retaliation from the station for airing the emotional 1-minute and 17-second tribute on Friday.

“Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination,” Harmony wrote on X.

“I believe I am the first to be targeted for honoring him on air.”

This is likely the problem.

A media outlet outside of Illinois? 95% progressive, likely.

The demons keep revealing themselves. This is good.

Hopefully she can name names.

Remember, progressives will tell you the media is not biased.

She is knock out. We need her in Alabama. The local news in all of Alabama is nothing but sweat hogs who are liberals. We need her.

Nope, we need her here in Alabama. I will pay her airfare, room, and board.

Didn’t she say she worked at TPUSA previously?

ABC just made her a millionaire.

If you were in the business, you would know that anchors are not in charge of what they air...solely. There are at least 3-4 other people involved including a producer and people inside the booth
