A member of an appointed board on the South Coast of Massachusetts has resigned following comments he made celebrating the death of conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk.

Jason Bouchard-Nawrocki stepped down from his position on the Fall River Historical Commission after remarks he sent about Kirk’s assassination on September 10 at Utah Valley University were publicized by the person who received them.

Bouchard-Nawrocki's resignation took effect on Monday, September 15, according to city spokesman Elizabeth Aguiar Sousa.

"After discussions between Mr. Jason Bouchard-Nawrocki and Mayor Coogan over the weekend and again this morning both parties have agreed that it would be in the best interest of the city and the Historical Commission for Mr. Bouchard-Nawrocki to resign from his volunteer position on the commission," she wrote in a press release. "This has not been an issue taken lightly and going forward all members of boards and commissions will be receiving a copy of the City of Fall River’s social media policy as reflected in our Employee Handbook."

Bouchard-Nawrocki's anti-Kirk comments included writing: "He reaped what he sowed. I hope it's warm in hell," and another saying "Blocked. The bullet deserved better."

Bouchard-Nawrocki could not be immediately reached for comment on Tuesday.

The Fall River Historical Commission is tasked with identifying, documenting, and protecting the city’s historic resources, according to the city's web site. It provides guidance to residents on preservation matters, raises public awareness of Fall River’s heritage, and oversees the city’s demolition bylaw, which allows the commission to delay demolitions of historic structures. The commission plays an advisory role and meets monthly at Government Center. It's an unpaid position appointed by the city council.

Fall River, a city of about 95,000 people on Massachusetts’s South Coast, is known for its textile mill history and its location along the Taunton River and the northern edge of Mount Hope Bay.

President Donald Trump won the city in the 2024 presidential election; he was the first Republican to win Fall River since Massachusetts native Calvin Coolidge in 1924. Trump got 49.4 percent of the vote in the city, while then-Vice President Kamala Harris got 47.8 percent, according to the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office.

Bouchard-Nawrocki isn't the only Bay Stater who celebrated Kirk's death.

The same is true of several Massachusetts teachers, as NewBostonPost has previously reported.

Among them are King Elementary School teacher Samantha Marengo of Framingham, who was placed on leave after posting a video smiling and singing “God Bless America” as news of Kirk’s death aired.

At Wachusett Regional High School in Holden, English teacher AnneMarie Donahue was placed on leave after writing, “Just a reminder. We’re NOT offering sympathy.”

In Sharon, English teacher Laurie Davis called Kirk a vulgar name in a Facebook post.

Greater New Bedford Regional Voc-Tech teacher Evangeline LeBlanc wrote that she would “celebrate like never before,” while Peabody business teacher and Hamilton-Wenham School Committee member David Polito wrote that Kirk’s death was “a smack in the mouth to white boys who think they can run their mouth without consequences.”
