Editor Fired by New York Times over Alleged Vulgar Voicemails to Gun Rights Group

Editor Erin Marquis was fired by the New York Times Friday over vulgar voicemails she allegedly left for a gun rights organization following the November 30, 2021, Oxford High School shooting.


On December 3, 2021, Breitbart News noted that Marquis became aggravated after receiving an email from Great Lakes Gun Rights following the Oxford High School shooting, then allegedly called the pro-2nd Amendment organization and called them “f*cking a**holes.”

The email said: “Great Lakes Gun Rights urges the Legislature to reject the politically-motivated calls for more gun control and to instead focus on life-saving policies that allow law-abiding citizens to be their own self-defense.”
FOX News reported that Marquis allegedly responded by calling Great Lakes Gun Rights and leaving a voicemail that said:

Hi, I’m a journalist with the New York Times. I’m just calling to wonder. I have two questions. How do you sleep at night? And aren’t you just a bit worried that there might be a hell? And when you meet God, He will send you there? That’s just my only question. The third question, the only people politicizing this seems to be you because you’re the only people I got a f—ing press release from.
