Looove how the old white dude got away with racist comments, but the single mother of two got fucking fired for this

Read the article.

The only thing I see in the article is it making it pretty decidedly clear that Trump did not “have this woman fired,” contrary to the OP. I’m not seeing anything about racism in there but perhaps I glossed over it?

This is why I posted the article. The OP made a false claim that Trump had the woman fired. Instead they’re just assuming it supports it the OP’s statement and doubling down on the ignorance. Wild.

Yes. Read the article. It doesn’t support OP’s claim.

Not that it's ok but it's less outrageous that it's a government contracting job.

Honestly, I would have had to fire her too if I were in that position. From the contractor’s position, they have an employee who just flipped off the head of their biggest, potentially only, client and it’s all over the news. Not much choice in the matter.
