In a post the employee shared that asked what Kirk's "legacy" was, the employee wrote that he did not have one.
"Did absolutely nothing healthy for the world except spew dangerous rhetoric… There is no legacy," the post read.
"Oh I also forgot to include ‘thoughts and prayers.’ LMAO," another post read.
