Tucker Carlson reports: Stepmother of ex-Atlanta officer who shot Rayshard Brooks fired from job
Washington Examiner ^ | 6/18/20 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 06/19/2020 1:12:31 AM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

The Washington Examiner reached out to EPM for comment. About two hours after publication, the company released a statement that said Rolfe was fired because she violated company policy.

"As an employer, it is imperative to maintain a safe environment for all employees. Melissa Rolfe's termination was a director result of her actions in the workplace and violation of company policy," the statement said. "While working with Melissa as she transitioned to a leave of absence granted by our organization, we discovered she violated company policy and created an uncomfortable working environment for many of our employees. As an HR director, she ultimately lost the confidence of her peers, leadership, and many employees who no longer felt comfortable engaging with her. We value diversity of thought and respect Melissa's personal views and the views of all employees; however, when those views create a hostile working environment, we must make difficult decisions."

The statement did not say what Rolfe did to violate company policy.

A couple of hours before Carlson's report, EPM shared a message about "diversity and equity" in the workplace.

Equity Prime Mortgage LLC @Equity_Prime EPM is dedicated to being an organization that strives for diversity and equality. We are guided by the 23 fundamentals of the EPM Way to be an advocate for financial empowerment in the communities we serve.

I would imagine a dozen lawyers are reaching out to her and willing to take the case. This mortgage company will have dig up a fair amount of money (probably more than $10-million) to pay this lady off. I’m guessing the board is meeting today and discussing how this action occurred, and who exactly signed off.

Being fired for being related to someone who committed a political crime? How Stalinist!

The story needs to give dates because the way its written it looks like she was fired before rather than after the shooting since the way back machine finds here there in May. Most likely the leave of absence was due to the increased stress because of the shooting, but they need to say that.

The article makes no statement as to what she did to make the other employees uncomfortable.

I am going to guess that she expressed her opinion that her stepson acted appropriately and was innocent of murder.

Im glad Tucker isn’t playing by their rules like most Republicans do. You can’t win if you just accept all the Stalinist tactics as ok. They do need to give more specifics, such as dates though.

And a completely manufactured event because President Trump IS going to win another term and he WILL roll a ton of heads.

The people MUST be distracted and diverted from thinking seriously about anything.

THAT is why I wake up to FR reporting madness and insanity.

Too many of our Repub leaders are weak. Thank God for Trump. If we had more true leaders this could never have happened. We gave away our power to the libs by letting them have education and hollywood.

If I read between the lines here, she probably defended the actions of her stepson. In the company’s view, this was tantamount to creating a “hostile work environment”.

I think it is. And we know who will win... Those of us who have weapons.

Just the way it is, people who insist on depriving us of our guns.

She probably will sue and the Company will settle, perhaps for a few million $$. But the Company will still view it as a net positive because they don’t want to be viewed as racist for employing her.

Yeah, its a very dangerous precedent.

Other than Trump himself the entire GOP has become nothing but a bunch of gutless cowards. It needs to be dissolved and started over as an America First party excluding garbage like the Bushes, McCains, and Romneys whose first priority is to sell out the borders.
