Fox TV reporter fired for pro-Trump, anti-Obama posts

Supporters on Facebook blast 'liberal' media for ouster.

A firefight of words has erupted in Houston after a Fox affiliate fired a TV reporter for expressing her support for President-elect Donald Trump on her personal social media.

Her critics are blasting her, and the Houston Chronicle suggested there was some element of racism. But Scarlett Fakhar, 25, KRIV-TV in Houston also has her supporters.

“I for one will not be watching Fox 26 any longer,” wrote Steve Woodruff on her Facebook page. “Their bias is more than obvious. You have our full support & here’s hoping for bigger things for you in the future. #istandwithscarlettfakhar.”

The controversy developed shortly after Trump’s election victory over twice-failed Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

Fakhar had announced on her personal Facebook page that she was ‘happy and relieved’ that Trump had won.

Fakhar wrote: “I know many of the God fearing men and women out there have also [prayed.] I prayed for the best leader that will turn this country that has become more violent and racist under the Obama administration than ever … into the American I once knew.”

She continued: “Want to talk about going downhill? Look what Obama has done … how he has made the entire country hate one another. Were you happy with how many people were killing each other in our own country? I work in news … and I hate to say it .. but the number of African Americans killing one another far outweighs the number of them being killed by whites. And now you have groups murdering police officers both black and white. How did this happen under the Obama administration? You guys want another administration like that?”

>> Personally I would just as soon that anyone in the MSM keep their mouths shut

Sorry, the reporter deserves far more support then what you’re willing to offer.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Nothing wrong using Facebook or Twitter.... just don’t be dumb enough to use your own name, or becoming “friends” with people you work with.

Then stop with your hypocrisy and give the same support to the folks such as George Stephanopoulos and Anderson Cooper..........

Even if Trump cannot take this to Fox news, he can take it to the court of public opinion. Trump should not yawn this off.

This will go on and on with all the lib supporters getting louder and screeching more often over less and less significant things until only the most insane of the libs will not be totally disheartened at the non-stop repudiation of everything they “believe” in.

They are crashing everywhere and they know it.

A perfect example is DU...

Their time is done, over and DJT’s impending MAGA-successes will clearly prove they were wrong about everything.

George Stephanopoulos, Anderson Cooper, and the remaining 99% of Liberal journalists are free to express their views. Scarlett Fakhar is not. Your idealism is poorly timed.
