ROCHESTER — A U.S. representative for Wisconsin is calling to “remove every single penny” of Mayo Clinic’s federal funding in response to an alleged employee’s comments about conservative influencer Charlie Kirk’s killing. ADVERTISEMENTThe X account attributed to Collins has since been set to private, and Mayo Clinic no longer appears on his LinkedIn account. Mayo Clinic did not respond to the Post Bulletin’s request for comment. Van Orden made a similar pledge to withhold federal funding from the City of Eau Claire following two city council members’ social media posts about Kirk, WXOW reported. Mayo Clinic receives a significant amount of federal funding, namely through National Institutes of Health research grants.
