28. Well, well! I wonder if apologies will be forthcoming for maligning Hillary yet again.

A decent person describes her interest in being fair to all her employees and hoping for the best in people after disciplining them. The "victim" was very happy with the reassignment because of the prestigious opportunity to work directly with Clinton's Deputy Campaign Manager. That didn't stop the irrational haters to unhinge over one misinformed aspect of a couple sentences in an article about an internet hashtag.

Literally THOUSANDS of personnel decisions over decades, and they are ready to malign over a couple sentences in an article. The motivation is so transparent.

The kinds of distortions about Hillary here were truly disgusting.

If firing people is the only answer, then this is not the party of labor. No more employee assistance programs for substance abuse or anything for that matter. You can get fired over any questionable Facebook posts. Fired over getting pregnant. Just fire people.
