    I just read her wiki page. I don’t understand how you can say “Obama did this” too. It seemed like everyone was cancelling her. Also, Obama didn’t kick her out, she retired.

      Just more disingenuous “both sides” bullshit.

      How can a person legitimately believe that these things are even close to the same thing? Either they simply haven’t read (and comprehended) the OP article, or they’re being purposely disingenuous.

      If Obama even suggested doing what Trump did here, Congress would have immediately brought articles of impeachment against him.

      She was forced to retire. Saying Obama’s administration had nothing to do with it seems a little naive, but whatever makes you feel better.

      She died three years later, and I can’t help but think that was also related. The WH press pool was her life.

      All U.S. Presidents are scum, some just more than others.

        Shocking that a 92 year old woman would just up and die like that.

        You wanna keep Mitch McConnell around too? He’s been in the senate so long; it would be a shame to make him quit.

              Apparently, she did something. It got her fired.

              I don’t think this kneejerk reaction to defending a genocidal administration is helpful to anyone but those enacting genocide.
