Title is flawed. It wasn’t racist. They are only inferring it to be racist.

Free Speech has left the station.
That the tweet did anyone harm is ridiculous.

Racist? I thought Jarrett is part Iranian. Iran is a country, not a race.

Freedom of speech deals with the government, not your employers/business partners.

“racist Twiiter rant”?! What race is Valerie Jarrett? I can’t tell. Looks to me like she’s related to Leonard Nimoy.

NO free speech issues here, not! The “free press” fondest desire is to stifle free speech to what they want it to be. What could go wrong?

IOW, she’s free to tweet it, and they’re free, provided no contractual issues, to cancel her heinie.

Planet of the Apes moment: When my son saw it on tv about 35 years ago, he turned to me and said “Mom, what’s George Jefferson doing in this show? Where’s Weezie?” he was 5.

yeah...wonder if she did this on purpose! Who knows...maybe she wanted out of the deal she made with ABC. Going after one of Almighty Obama’s Saintes was pretty bold. She’s not that dumb IMO!
