UnitedHealthcare Fires Employee Who Said She Was Sad Trump Assassin Failed: ‘Violence is Never Acceptable’

Insurance company UnitedHealthcare fired one of its employees Tuesday after she posted a TikTok video saying she was upset an assassin failed to kill President Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner over the weekend.

At one point in the video, Alison King, who was identified as a social media manager for UHC, sarcastically asked, “Aww, they missed?”

“You know we’re cooked as a country when my first reaction to hearing the news about Trump’s attempt was, ‘It was probably fake,’” she said.

“Like, immediately I was like, ‘Oh, that wasn’t real, probably fake,’” King continued. “And the second was ‘Aww, they missed? So happy they missed.’ Yeah, that’s sad.’”

The social media account Libs of TikTok reposted the video Monday and tagged UHC, asking for comment. One day later, King was reportedly let go.
