Hannity's Obamacare Stunt Gets Call Center Worker Fired

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on October 24, 2013 · Flag

As part of his mockery of President Obama and the Affordable Care Act, Sean Hannity called a health care call center while he was on the radio this week. He had a lengthy discussion with Earline Davis, the woman who answered the phone. Hannity's questions included, “Have you ever gotten anyone who really likes Obamacare yet?”  After that chat, Davis got fired. Hannity claims he feels terrible, is trying to get Davis a new job and has offered to pay her salary for a year. Memo to Davis: Collect quick because Hannity’s record is not good. Oh, and in the meanwhile? Hannity tried to exploit her as an Obamacare “victim.”

On his television show tonight, Hannity sat in front of a large graphic that read “OBAMACARE’S VICTIMS” during his introduction to an interview with Davis. 

During his original radio chat with Davis, Hannity laughably tried to argue that he had done the call center a service with his mocking questions because he has such a large audience, it saved people from having to call in. Even though Hannity mostly asked loaded questions such as, “Do you know the average man in this country is gonna pay 99% in increase in his premium and an average woman 62%?” This is not true, by the way.

“I feel terrible about this,” Hannity told Davis on tonight's Hannity show. As well he should. He said he set up a special email for people with jobs for her ([email protected])  and that the response has been overwhelming. “We already have one job offer that we know of for you,” he said. Hannity also said he had calculated Davis' yearly income “and I’m gonna gift money to both you and your son and give you a year’s salary so that you don’t have to worry in this interim while you’re waiting for a job.”

But even then, Hannity tried to exploit Davis.He asked her,  “Did you learn anything from this? Are you surprised that (HHS Secretary) Kathleen Sebelius still has her job and you got fired for doing yours?” Davis wisely demurred.

By the way, he didn’t say anything about paying for her health insurance which, she said in their phone call, that she got through her employer.

I hope Ms. Davis gets every penny and more. But if I were she, I'd waste no time settling up. As I just posted, it's been more than 4 ½ years since Hannity offered to be waterboarded for a charity to benefit our troops. And he pretty much weaseled out of a dinner bet with former Obama advisor Austan Goolsbee.

Panetta admitted on ABC News that waterboarding was used to get info to find Bin Laden… imagine that.

From Antoinette’s comment:

“NOTE TO MS. DAVIS

Don’t take his money. Get an attorney. You can get more than a year’s salary."

AMEN TO THAT Antoinette. Yes, I know this is a longshot, but there’s a chance she might get a SEVEN OR EIGHT FIGURE SETTLEMENT! Remember what happened to Bully O’Lielly when he got sued for sexual harrassment by Andrea Mackris? I’ve read on the Internet that Mackris used her settlement $$$$ to buy a VERY POSH New York City Central Park West pad.

Our petty and mean spirited president got her fired over this and you know what Hannity did? He gave her a years salary and is helping her find a new job.

wait… I’m confused. So you are saying that an employer of the Obama administration got fired… not for lying… but for being honest and telling the truth? So you are saying that this is not the fault of the Obama administration for firing someone for being honest… but that this is Hannity’s fault for ASKING her to be honest? well… ok then.. I think I see where this is going. But just so I understand… the new rule of thumb of our government is simply: keep lying to cover for the president and you will be commended, promoted, and protected. Be honest and tell the truth and you will immediately be thrown under the bus… ok, got it. Thanks for clearing that up.

KKKlannity should be fired for staging this childish prank. But he won’t be.

After stumbling upon your website and reading your article I have concluded that I would rather you NOT watch Fox News for me as you tend to make your own truth up.. think I’ll do my own watching so I don’t taint the truth with a lot of your bull crap!

This troll is very traditional. Open with “not much truth here”, then complain about playing the man.
Trolls are good to eat.

One important piece of information was left out of this article.
When Earline was asked if anyone like Obamacare she replied “no, not really”… Then she was let go by the regime for speaking the truth about Obamacare.
I’m sure it was just an innocent omission on your part but try the whole story next time.

Thanks for proving my point, call people names instead of arguing facts or the responses I provided. LOL

Not much truth on here or at least willful ignorance. 1. Dinner bet, he gave him a gift certificate for dinner. PAID DEBT
2. Waterboarding, He said he would and said for Groden to do it and then Groden said he would not do that to him. GRODEN PASSED ON THE OFFER
3. Operator gave info and said she didn’t know policy about media, she was fired. SOUNDS LIKE A VICTIM OF OBAMACARE
4. Typical liberals wanting to sue, don’t see any on your side trying to get her a job or pay her salary. Just a bunch of name calling and crying about supposed wrongs of the past.

If we were Ms. Davis we would have sued this Long Island Lolito for pain and suffering, and lost of wages, and refused to come on his boring shows. We would have gone after Clear Channel, WOR and this cafeteria Catholic.

Hannocchio, thinking this woman could possibly sue him, quickly coughed up the money to pay her off, and offered to find her a job ASAP.

The Stop Hannity Express says Hannocchio’s money is good. He won’t stiff her-because of possible legal action against him.

NOTE TO MS. DAVIS

Don’t take his money. Get an attorney. You can get more than a year’s salary.
