The journalist who first reported the ejection of three Jewish women from Chicago’s Dyke March tweeted that she was removed from her reporting job because of that article.
In a tweet Monday, Gretchen Rachel Hammond wrote to Dyke March’s Twitter account that “You attacked, humiliated and robbed me of a job.” Hammond confirmed to JTA on the same day that she wrote the tweet.
Hammond said she could not elaborate on her tweet, citing an agreement with her employer, the Windy City Times. […]
The Dyke March itself has fielded criticism for using an anti-Semitic slur, tweeting on July 13 that “Zio tears replenish my electrolytes.” White supremacists, including former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, have used the term “Zio,” derived from Zionist, as a slur for Jews.
On July 14, the Dyke March deleted the tweet and apologized, saying it “didn’t know the violent history of the term.”
Sorry y'all! Definitely didn't know the violent history of the term. We meant Zionist/white tears replenish our electrolytes 😭— Chicago Dyke March (@DykeMarchChi) July 14, 2017 …

They first suspended her because she didn’t go to the march organizers to get their side of the story, so they said. They had her doing non journalist duties.
Now the firing.
This is a message to journalists that if they question the party line they’ll commit career suicide.
The Left were mad because it exposed the fact libs and Jews should be on opposite sides of the political fence. The woman’s march was led by a Muslim who would be part of mass genocide of Jews were she able to implement Sharia law in the U.S.
Conservative websites picked up the story so heads had to roll.
The warning has been sent. Tow the line or destroy your career with one story revealing the truth.
She forgot rule #1 of modern reporting: TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
Socialists can always be counted on to persue an LGBTQjudenrein agenda
Does this dyke story hold water?
Only if you put your finger into it. And if you do, you’re a braver man than I.
Behold the wrath of scorned man-hating feminazis.
The oh-so-tolerant national socialist-democrat thugs chalk up another one.
Their NAZI counterparts were also fond of using homosexuals as thug enforcers, that is, until they served their purpose, and became a liability.
Most of the brownshirts of the queer persuasion ended up with a bullet in the head as a reward for their dedication.
LOL.

Gee, that's a shame.
I work with a young guy, and I held out my hand and asked him to hand me a pair of dykes...when nothing plopped into my hand, I looked away from what I was working on, only to find him staring at me in a very odd way.
When I asked him what was wrong, he said “You called the wire cutters “dykes”, and I realized...he is of the class of people ruled by political correctness. He was horrified and puzzled.
I told him they had been called dykes since long before the moniker had been applied to lesbians...to my knowledge.
When I was a child in Southern Oregon my dad worked on the weekends for the man who owned half the phone company. I would go out and they would be up two poles and I would grunt for both of them. I learned at an early age what dykes were and when I’ve told others they don’t believe.
Dikes = wire cutters
Dykes = ...you know
Same pronunciation, different spelling.
Good thing you didn’t ask him for a pair of “nippers.” Probably would have had a PC anti-racist melt down right on the spot.
It did? Find another job...when I was let go at a major defunct department store, I didn’t go to social media and cry, I went to another job..
She forgot rule #1 of modern reporting: TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
LOL, I always thought a dike was to keep water out! Guess I never paid attention to spelling on it!
Upholding the fine FR tradition of commenting without reading the article, apparently.
You're wrong, but don't let that stop you from feeling clever.
Dikes: Diagonal Cutters
At least that’s what I call lesbians...
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, by assuming you just didn’t read the article carefully. Does this mean you think it’s O.K. for the reporter to lose her job; because she told an ‘inconvenient truth’ about the Dyke March organizers?
