The Salt Lake Tribune published a cartoon calling for the assassination of Utah Republican lawmakers nearly one month after Charlie Kirk was murdered in Utah.
TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University last month.

“Less than a month removed from Charlie’s assassination in Utah, the Salt Lake Tribune published this cartoon entitled “The Hole-in-the-Head Gang” depicting a wanted poster with elected officials from the state (with red around the neck?!),” said Andrew Kolvet, Executive Producer of the Charlie Kirk Show.
“Absolutely disgusting,” he added.
Two days after publishing the “The Hole-in-the-Head Gang” cartoon by Pat Bagley, The Salt Lake Tribune added an editor’s note claiming the original title did not meet their standards for publication.
The cartoon was not deleted.

“A Pulitzer Prize finalist in the cartoonist category, Pat Bagley has worked for The Salt Lake Tribune for more than 45 years. He is one of roughly a dozen cartoonists still working at a major metropolitan newspaper in the U.S.,” the newspaper said.
Senator Mike Lee responded to The Salt Lake Tribune’s ridiculous editor’s note.

“Was it part implying someone should put a hole in my head or was there a spelling error?” he added.
