MSNBC Fires Host Who Wore Tampon Earrings and Compared Abortion to Cancer Treatment

Journalist Melissa Harris-Perry of MSNBC has made no fans in the pro-life movement, but her network has had enough of her, too.

The Daily Caller reports that Harris-Perry grew very angry about her show being pre-empted by election coverage, resulting in her lashing out. She announced that her lack of airtime made her feel “worthless,” and led her to start boycotting her own show.

This did not earn her much sympathy from the network. Reconciliation between Harris-Perry and the network is now impossible, and they are only discussing severance, according to the report.

In regard to her treatment by MSNBC , Harris-Perry said, “I have a PhD in political science and have taught American voting and elections at some of the nation’s top universities for nearly two decades, yet I have been deemed less worthy to weigh in than relative novices and certified liars.”

Though MSNBC is often known for its liberal stance, Harris-Perry took that to a peculiar extreme. LifeNews has reported her wearing tampon earrings in response to former Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s signing of a bill banning late-term abortions in Texas. She explained that she was wearing them as a response to Texas officials’ “confiscation of tampons at the Texas legislature that abortion activists planned to throw at legislators,” following the bill’s vote.

Harris-Perry also claimed that laws regulating abortion do not make sense, since similar laws would not exist for cancer treatment. In 2013, Harris-Perry also made a comment that made some people wonder whether she has any grasp on the science behind fetal development. Harris-Perry talked about how much it costs “to have this thing turn into a human” when referring to an unborn baby.

Beyond right to life issues, Harris-Perry has made several outrageous statements, leaving many conservatives and liberals alike relieved that MSNBC has canceled her show.

Were her ratings “**” or “***”?

You know how classy the left can be.

Democrats in our country are all delusional in some way! And all are conniving as is the case with Chuckie Schumer and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. And of course our Mullah Barrack Buckwheat and lying slug Hillary Clinton are the worst of the worst of the democrats.

Interesting they’re negotiating severance. As an employer, when firing minorities, this is recommended. Severance is provided in exchange for employee being willing to resign. Legally becomes not a firing, Makes it more difficult for discrimination suit. Also more likely to be replaced by minority, for same reason.

White male employee? Just fire ‘em.

This is part of the damage that PC has wrought. Any wonder we want PC dragon slain?

Headline is a bit misleading. They hired her because of the headline. They fired her for other reasons.

They aborted her. She was just a clump of cells anyway.

(But I’m sure she still has her seat at Wake Forest University to spew her bile.)

She should shove sanitary napkins in her mouth for a silent protest.
