TV reporter fired after writing Facebook post praising Trump

Posted on 11/18/2016 12:50:53 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

A Texas television reporter is out of a job after she criticized President Obama and praised President-elect Donald Trump on her personal Facebook page — claiming the country went “downhill” under the outgoing commander-in-chief.

Scarlett Fakhar said she was recently canned from her local news gig at Fox in Houston for posting last week that she was “happy and relieved” over Trump’s unexpected White House win.

Fakhar had said in the post, which has since been deleted, that Obama made the “entire county hate one another” and claimed God “had a hand” in the election. She also said she could “barely sleep from how happy and relieved she was” after Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton.

“Fox 26 Houston fired me today for expressing my conservative views on my private Facebook page,” Fakhar posted Thursday. “That is all I will say for you. But I want you to know how much your support has gotten me through this. God bless you all.”

First realize this lady’s firing is only one of many. Secondly, her firing evidences leftist power and is designed to intimidate the rest of us.

The local Fox News station is uber-liberal, just like the CBS and ABC affiliates. Local Fox News does NOT show nationwide coverage, either.

Liberal propaganda emanates from all three, constantly.

With all the government spokesman jobs in every federal department I’m sure they can find her a position in the new administration.

If her Facebook page is really private one of her FB friends ratted her out.

If she had said the opposite I do not believe she would not have been fired.

The Obama Effect: Liberal Propaganda War

Anything that doesn’t fit their illogical narrative is under assault and has been for 8 years.

First Ammendment, free speech. Looks like a potential law suit in the making.
