FAFO: Healthcare Company Fires Social Media Manager for Claiming to be Sad That WHCD Shooter Missed (VIDEO)

In a situation that has become all too familiar, a leftist has lost her job at a healthcare company for making a video in which she sarcastically claims to be sad that the WHCD shooter missed his target, President Trump.

The irony here is that this woman was the social media manager. You would think a person in this position would know better. And to add to the irony, she worked for United Health Care, the same company that lost its CEO to alleged shooter Luigi Mangione.

It’s a shame that this keeps happening but people on the left just can’t seem to keep their bloodlust to themselves.

FOX News reports:

UnitedHealthcare fires woman over ‘Aww, they missed?’ comment on Trump assassination attempt

UnitedHealthcare has fired a woman who expressed sadness in a TikTok video that President Donald Trump was not killed in the Saturday shooting during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. In the video, she sarcastically asked, “Aww, they missed?”

“We’re cooked as a country when my first reaction to hearing the news about Trump’s attempt was, ‘It was probably fake,’” Alison King, who has reportedly deleted her LinkedIn account but was identified as a social media manager for UnitedHealthcare, said in the video.

“Like, immediately I was like, ‘Oh, that wasn’t real, probably fake,’” King said. “And the second was ‘Aww, they missed? So happy they missed.’ Yeah, that’s sad,’” King said sarcastically.

“That’s when you know we’re cooked,” King added.

In a Tuesday statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for UnitedHealthcare said, “Violence is never acceptable and any comments that suggest otherwise are in no way consistent with our mission and values. The person who made comments online about Saturday night’s incident at a Washington event where President Trump and many other political leaders were gathered is no longer employed by the company.”

All these people have to do is not be a horrible human being. Why is this so difficult for so many on the left?

“...is no longer employed by the company”

I always look for weasel words and I’m happy to NOT find them above. I was worried they say something like “...bitch is no longer our Social Media manager”.

That woman lost probably a 6 figure income dream job because of complete and utter stupidity.

On that subject, a short video...

TDS- A parody of Be Our Guest

Great timing with Kimmel/Disney in the news.

Around 5 minutes. Toe-tappingly clever.

It’s near impossible to find a “social media manager” who isn’t a raging leftist.

Here in northern Virginia, when a Sheriff’s deputy does something stupid and has to be let go, he or she is quietly traded for a deputy in a far-away county who also screwed up so they both keep their jobs and move to different areas where they are unknown. The locals think the idiots are out of law enforcement for good, but it isn’t so.

"weasel words" ... One of many expressions brought to the American lexicon courtesy of the great President Teddy Roosevelt.

It does seem that way. I rather felt like that during the Obama-Biden days, but tried not to let it get real unruly like many do now. Hard to understand this super-bitterness when I think our President is doing a fairly good-excellent job. TDS explains it best, I guess.

Stupidity or depravity?

“Stupidity or depravity?”

Could go either way. Depravity was thinking it, stupidity was recording it.
