Sara, what goes on at ESPN isnā€™t up to you!!!
Beyond that when the government, in this case you as spokesperson for trump, tells a citizen they must be fired for posting something you donā€™t likeā€¦well, that runs up against freedom of speech, as in the Constitutionā€™s proscription on the government regulating what we say and think so in that spiritā€¦ā€œFUCK YOU SARAHā€ and the horse you rode in on.
Note that I feel rather strongly about thisā€¦

I guess we should find comfort that Trump consistently hires and sends out the biggest liars to regurgitate his fake news. Sarah continues the pattern of this administration of disgracing the spokesperson podium and being an embarrassment to the country.

Article [I] (Amendment 1)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Uh-oh, does this mean itā€™s OK for the Executive?

In Russia under the awesome effective leader Putin, like in many countries now and in the past, problems like this are easily solved. Right, Miss Huckabee?

So an entire Chamber of Congress has united its power against one African American sports caster for exercising her first amendment right and they, Congress, the government, which is barred from doing so by the 1st amendment, wants to shut her up.

Wow - our founders would plotz. They bent over backwards to try to protect us from the government. Thatā€™s what most of the constitution is about.

Big Bad GOP men want this young woman fired from her job. SMDH They should be ashamed.

Maybe Littlefingers, and his spokesperson, Hamhock, should go ahead and buy ESPN.

Then they could fire her no problem.

Sanders said Friday that ESPN should simply be consistent in doling out punishment for political statements by its broadcasters.

I know of someone that ESPN gave a fair shake to and they only fired him, because he wouldnā€™t stop being an a-hole.

ā€˜1600ā€™ should walk away from this.

So the Trump administration is anti-free-speech AND theyā€™re willing to defend that stance. This seems like it should be a bigger story.

ETA: And that they Trump administration is using the power of the government (and our tax dollars) to quiet a critic.

Okay, so since Donald Trump once called Obama a racist (probably more than once, actually), he should be fired. Right?

Obama's '07 speech which @DailyCaller just released not only shows that Obama is a racist but also how the press always covers for him.

Yeah, that one is so obvious I canā€™t believe that I, just now, am the first to think of it.

Didnā€™t somebody in the previous thread already publish the federal statute that makes this continuing drumbeat, uh, legally problematic?

(Too lazy to do the search for Very Serious Conservatives defending the freedom of speech of certain wingnut sportscasters and opining that it is Terribly Dangerous for large corporations to fire them.)
