Well, she lost her job because someone made an objectively false statement about her (not an opinion, as in your example).

Lost job = lost wages = lawsuit.

Also, slander is a tort, and apparently an intentional tort, in this case. As a result, it is subject to exemplary damage claim to punish and prevent further wrongdoing.

Moreover, as an intentional tort, it would be non-dischargable in bankruptcy. So it would haunt the person forever, even if not collectible.

The problem is that companies want to avoid controversy. And the Left gets to decide what is controversial.

Don't do Facebook.

Problem solved.

South Milwaukee dental assistant says she was fired after posting a pro-Trump comment on Facebook

This wouldn't happen at my Dentist's office. Years ago I was asked if I was the "Mike from North Caldwell" my dentist heard on Rush's show. I was; and that has led to many years of good political cheer whenever I show up there.

Social media claims another one.

Sounds like a lawsuit incoming.

On what grounds.

[DoodleDawg]

This young woman, who was only exercising her rights as an American.

And he was exercising his rights as an employer in an at-will employment state. She has no grounds to sue.

I went to her FB page. She was using the N word in older post.

Dumb. People don’t know when to stop typing.

“She should have a very lucrative lawsuit coming from this”

I went to her FB page. She was using the N word in older post.

Idiot woman.

The dentist for hate discrimination.

People who hate are not a protected class. This girl has no grounds to sue.

Well, after looking at her FB page, I'm not seeing much of anything that would lead to her being fired. There is one person that is claiming that she sent a nastygram to her or someone else, but that person is also a full blown Democrat so should not be taken at their word. Sorry, but to my eyes, this definitely looks like an improper firing based on political beliefs. You can't fire someone based on hearsay, there has to be evidence that there is reasonable cause to remove that person. Why do you think businesses have to document transgressions before firing someone? Maybe there is more to the story, but I'm not seeing it on her FB page.

Doesn't make any difference what your seeing or I'm seeing. She ticked off her employer and it cost her. Next time she should think before speaking, think twice before Tweeting, and think three times before posting.

His websites have been set to private for a while. Hmmm.

Plus, Wisconsin is an “at-will” state. They can fire her for any reason or no reason at all.

We have one poster on FR whose tag line proudly proclaims, “Fired ONE libtard at work at every election since 2008 because I enjoy them crying.”

A private person or employer should have every right to discriminate in any way they want-—and suffer the consequences of their behavior if people don’t like it.

And people should have the right to go to the home of someone who maligned them with nasty lies, and beat them till they beg for mercy.

N Word? What? Novocain?

[DiogenesLamp]

Calling someone a "communist" does not carry the negative connotations, both socially and professionally that calling someone a "racist" does.

In fact, this accusation cost her her job, which means an actual financial injury and an injury to her reputation.

The person who made this false accusation needs to have their teeth knocked down their throat.

[DiogenesLamp]

Well if that’s true, there goes her lawsuit.

I have to admit he's pretty ballsy. I would think that tagline could get him in a lot of trouble someday.

But I like the H3ll out of the guy. His posts are always entertaining.
