    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.

      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.

          Wow. That’s an obscene comparison. Why?

          Just say you didn’t like the questions she was asking.

            It’s not, their both old ass shit, it’s a natural conclusion to make, especially when their not doing anything anymore.

              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.
