“american sunrise contributor Emily Finn spotlights springfield, il anchor Benny Ray Harmony, who says she was suspended—then resigned—from abc 20 after airing an emotional, nonpartisan tribute to mentor Charlie Kirk. Harmony tells Emily (and dr. Gina) she chose faith and love of country over keeping her job, alleges a hostile newsroom culture toward conservatives, and urges others to 'speak loudly, even if your voice shakes.' The segment tees up a broader look at how Kirk’s assassination is driving many back to church and prayer.”
