Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported on Thursday evening that the stepmother of Atlanta police officer Garrett Rolfe, the officer who allegedly shot and killed Rayshard Brooks, has been fired from her job at a mortgage company in the area.
“Until today, his stepmother, her name is Melissa Rolfe, was the HR director at a place called Equity Prime Mortgage in Atlanta, Georgia,” Carlson said. “But today, she was let go. She’s no longer in that role, apparently she was fired and her only crime was being officer Rolfe’s stepmother.”
“According to a source familiar with the matter who spoke to this program, Rolfe was promised that her job was safe, but today she was told, ‘We have to terminate our relationship with you,'” Carlson continued. “No other explanation was offered and honestly no other explanation was needed. It was obvious what happened.”
“Rolfe has already been scrubbed from the company’s website, wiped away as the Bolshevik’s did with those who lost favor with Joseph Stalin,” Carlson added. “That will keep happening until lawmakers decided to resist the mob and protect ordinary people from its predations. This is where the country is going, it’s becoming a place where you can be punished for the supposed misdeeds of your relatives. You don’t want to be that country. All of us should put on the breaks immediately.”
Later in the program, Carlson said that the company reached out and claimed that Rolfe was fired for social media posts, but did not elaborate on what the posts were or what they said.

The company released a statement on their Twitter account that did not mention Rolfe’s stepmother’s name but appeared to allude to her termination and stressed that the company was committed to diversity. The statement said:
Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion are deeply entrenched in the principles that help guide the actions of our organization. Our 23 fundamental principles comprise The EPM Way and the first one is, “Do the right thing, always.”
Our unwavering commitment to always doing the right thing has led us to sever ties with an employee who has expressed views that do not align with our culture. We do not tolerate racism, discrimination or injustices of any kind. EPM was co-founded by people of color intent on building a better future the best way they knew how, by bringing diverse cultures into the conversation. We view business through an empathetic lens. We care about the communities we serve and the people we employ.
We have intentionally built a team that is reflective of the U.S. population. Not only do we make a concerted effort to ensure Black people are in positions of authority, but we have recently increased overall diversity within our management from 68% to 80%, and we are nowhere near finished.
We are dedicated to building wealth in communities of color that have historically suffered from systemic racism. We recognize the roadblocks these communities face and have and will continue to honor our commitment to removing them. Our efforts have significantly increased loans to Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Veterans to enrich their communities.
We owe our successes to our employees who listen generously, speak courageously, and choose positivity. Representation matters, and so do Black Lives. Known to many as Equity Prime Mortgage externally, we thrive by the principle of Empowering People More. We will continue to be a resource and voice to financially empower those we serve and strive to guarantee diversity every step of the way.
EPM is dedicated to being an organization that strives for diversity and equality. We are guided by the 23 fundamentals of the EPM Way to be an advocate for financial empowerment in the communities we serve. pic.twitter.com/ag7wkZLl13

How long before BROTHERS, SISTERS, COUSINS, UNCLES AND AUNTS ARE FIRED FROM THEIR JOBS JUST FOR BEING A RELATIVE?..........................
And they always accuse the Right of “McCarthyism”.
McCarthy was right.....................
“How long before BROTHERS, SISTERS, COUSINS, UNCLES AND AUNTS ARE FIRED FROM THEIR JOBS JUST FOR BEING A RELATIVE?..........................”
Shrug.
This was a Stalin favorite.
Our domestic enemies love Stalin.
80% of their management is diverse, while only about 30% of America is diverse.
Sue them,lady...SUE THEM!
Sippenhaft or Sippenhaftung (German: [ˈzɪpənˌhaft(ʊŋ)], kin liability) is a German term for the idea that a family or clan shares the responsibility for a crime or act committed by one of its members, justifying collective punishment. As a legal principle, it was derived from Germanic law in the Middle Ages, usually in the form of fines and compensations.
In Nazi Germany, the term was revived to justify the punishment of kin (relatives, spouse) for the offence of a family member. In this form of Sippenhaft the relatives of persons accused of crimes against the state were held to share the responsibility for those crimes and subject to arrest and sometimes execution. Many people who had committed no crimes were arrested and punished under Sippenhaft decrees introduced after the failed 20 July plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944.
I think the Law Offices of Dewey, Cheatem & Howe will right this injustice post haste.
What do you want to bet that "diverse" doesn't have its dictionary meaning in this sentence?

It goes back much further than that. Al the way to BEFORE The Exodus!
Deuteronomy 24:16
“Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
What were her supposed social media posts?
Just exactly how does one go about applying a percentage figure to ‘diversity’?
If they claim they are 80% ‘diverse’, how does that break down into skin color, gender, sexual orientation, disability and economic class?
Are they really saying that 8 out of ten employees are black and 2 are white?..............I suspect so...................
To borrow a phrase from the movie “Jurassic Park”, where are the blood sucking lawyers?
I'm kind'a wondering how long before they stand your whole family against the wall and shoot'um...
The commies do that, you know..! :(
This is just another sign that we better start fighting back pretty damn soon or it'll be too late......
If there were any, they were probably supportive of her step-son.
Most likely she was fired because of outside pressure or even inside pressure from their ‘diversity’ employees........................
French Revolution.
I agree. And fighting back is not in the court system any longer. Their compromised as well.
> Sue them,lady...SUE THEM! <
As I see it, unless that lady has some sort of iron-clad contract with the company, there is (unfortunately) no basis for a lawsuit.
The federal government, and most states, have protected classes. You cannot be discriminated against on the basis of your membership in one of those classes. For example, you cannot be fired just because you are a veteran. It’s one of the protected classes.
But “family relationship” is not a protected class. So I think you can legally be fired for that reason, as terribly unfair as that might be.
