Fox News Insider ^ | Nov 21, 2014 7:26 pm

The state of North Carolina has given Jonathan Gruber the boot, firing the ObamaCare architect after he was caught on camera repeatedly calling American voters “stupid.”

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) went “On The Record” tonight, explaining that Gruber was hired one year ago to help with a health care plan that dealt with Medicaid recipients and the uninsured. Meadows said that Gruber was supposed to be an unbiased individual, but after these reports, the auditor decided that he’s not so unbiased after all. …

It’s good when actions have consequences.

Tell the truth about what the commie government hacks think about Americans and get fired. Cool.

The man is an idiot. He could have milked the taxpayers for years but the gasbag kept spewing from the mouth.

It was like, “I am so smart and all of you are so stupid.” He’s the one that just lost millions of dollars in future earnings.

He can join Kay Hagan in the “you’re done here” line.

My understanding is that these comments were made years ago.
So he’s not being fired for making them he’s being fired for the statements being made public. In other words, for the truth being exposed.

A good start, but he needs to be arrested and charged for embezzlement.

Leftists can’t help but tell everyone how superior they are.

He got fired for telling the truth and embarrassing Obama. And I think that the man has a point. Only the stupidest of the stupid would vote for Obama twice or for any Democrat for that matter.

He’s going to join the circus in January.
So he will be kind of busy.

Earnings are gained honestly. And truth cannot be suppressed forever.

Bingo. The Goobers of the world are a lot smarter than we Americans are.

The stupidest of the stupid, or the brainwashed since that is a form of stupor.

That’s exactly what happened. And it is especially true when it comes to know-it-all elitist professors.

He cost himself millions of dollars in future earnings because it will be very difficult for governments to justify hiring him again.

In a just world he would be shunned by all and forced to become a hermit on a mountaintop.

In a just world....

While his disparaging remarks re: voter intellect are elitist offensive, they are echoed endlessly by progressives everywhere. As bad as that is (and it's very bad), it’s the least of Gruber’s offenses, yet, somehow, it’s been latched onto as the salient factor. I find this disappointing.

His purposeful deceit in framing the true costs of Obamacare in a “tortured” manner in order to hide the true ramifications of the bill are far worse. The fact that he colluded with the WH in doing this is criminal.

The fact that the “opposition” party will ultimately do nothing is, in a very real way, profoundly heartbreaking.

When will MIT separate itself from this piece of garbage, Gruber is not worthy to be the Ford Professor of Economics. Gruber is only qualified to be raising earth worms.

Not good enough. The best way to resolve this is to hire the person that was in charge of clawing back the Bernie Madoff money to claw back every cent of Taxpayer money that was given to Jonathan Gruber for his fraudulent services.
