I don’t understand why people want to fire her. Fire her for what? Making a joke? That’s her job. This joke was in poor taste, but we can’t fire every comedian that makes a joke that lands flat or hits a soft spot.
EDIT: I’m no longer responding to Frink but to the hypothetical people who do want her fired.
Welcome to the world of fair game. When people in the public eye say unethical things about a child, the company has every right to relieve her of her post.
Those sentences seem contradictory to me. If it’s a world of fair game, it’s fair game for company to fire someone for joking about Barron Trump because Barron isn’t fair game?
If it happens to other public figures it should happen to her.
It shouldn’t happen to other public figures. There shouldn’t ever be big witch hunts against people because we don’t like what they’ve said.
And I certainly did not consider what she said a joke.
It was.
I get that. If it was meant as a joke, she should have chosen a far less harmful topic and form of delivery.
