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.”(continued)

She'll be working at another station before the ink on her unemployment benefits application is dry.
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...:^)
Didn’t work out for E.D. Hill.
“Hope things work out for her but why make yourself a target?”
Everyone posting on FR makes themselves a target. Nothing wrong with that.
Got that, Sergeant, but I’m retired. No personal price to pay since there is no leftie jerk boss who can hurt me. Obama & Hillary are soon gone so NSA goons won’t be banging on my door. Thank God for Trump!
If you have to strive for livelihood, though, then discretion may be the better part of valor.
Why draw a target on yourself using social media?
I would at least threaten to deck the station manager on the way out the door - might as well watch the liberal piss his pants.
Years ago there was a reporter at a local station. That station had a ‘morals’ code in their contract. The female reporter was not married and had a baby. She never named who the father was. The reporter was not fired. Any guess why not?
