I'm not getting the outrage here. Would it not be expected that an employee at a private sector call center would be terminated under identical circumstances? It seems to me Hannity should have been cogniscant of that and not felt the need to play "gotcha" with this person. Shades of James O'keefe

If she is union, she likely has a 'just cause' provision in her contract under which she can sue. If not she does not, unless she could find a way to sue under Title VII of the 1964 civil rights act. In any case, 'right to work' has no bearing. But it is an argument in favor of belonging to a union.
Even more so, it is an argument for having Hannity on your side when Obama tries to squash you.

So what? Who is paying their bills? Do you honestly believe someone from the government didn't lean on them HARD. This was a huge embarrassment to the administration and someone was going to pay for it. You know damn well Valerie Jarrett left orders for someone's scalp.

So what is the name of this private company? Anybody know? Does, or did, she work directly for them or as a contracted temp?

Absolutely rest assured nobody here is or wants to be in your bedroom.

Did you even read my post? That was exactly my point.
You know, I really have to commend her for being so kind and patient. She probably gets yelled at all day long, yet she remains kind and patient.
And doubly appreciate her for her honesty.
Edit: Ah, so she was fired. That was predictable. Now maybe she can find a better life than working in a horrid call center. This may very well have been a blessing in disguise for her.
As for speaking to the media, if they never told her that, then why are libs getting all upset about it?
