Lawyer for Austin ICE shooting victim sparks online fury over 'sickening' deleted Charlie Kirk post

Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, the attorney representing a Venezuelan man shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Austin after a high-speed chase, is facing backlash over a deleted social media post referencing Charlie Kirk's assassination. Retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Larry Brock Jr. resurfaced the post in a screenshot after Lincoln-Goldfinch deleted it; in it, she asked, "How do you resist getting shot in the neck? Does Charlie Kirk have any advice on that?" Conservative commentators argued the post undermines her credibility as she disputes federal law enforcement's account of the shooting to reporters, according to Fox News.

Charlie Kirk Show executive producer Andrew Kolvet wrote on X that Lincoln-Goldfinch was "exactly how you'd imagine her," describing her as the lawyer for the man shot by the Department of Homeland Security. Conservative influencer LibsofTikTok called her "POS scum," while Gunther Eagleman wrote that she represents "a man shot resisting federal officers, then jokes about Charlie Kirk catching one in the neck," calling the post "sickening and pathetic" and urging people to "remember her name." Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., called her a "nasty woman" in a post on X.

The backlash adds to continuing scrutiny of the legal team defending the shooting suspect, as the case keeps drawing attention from conservative media figures and lawmakers in the aftermath of Kirk's assassination.
