Kristin Homes on CNN: "that BLS woman" [View all]

That's how she referred to the Bureau of Labor Statistics employee who was fired by trump. She had a very dismissive tone and said she was fired because the administration did not agree with her numbers, strongly implying that the firing was justified. She did not say that there is no evidence that the numbers were not accurate and that the administration has no evidence against her.

Really awful "reporting." Oh, and at the end, she recited some other controversial moves such as taking over the Kennedy Center, museums, firing independent investigators at agencies, and said the administration decided to do that because there is no law against it so they thought "why not?'" Then she smirked.

I will say that Ms. Homes makes Katy Tur look like independent investigative reporter of the year.
