"Love it. We had to let two employees go to cover new Obongocare [sic] costs and increased taxes," Lee wrote. "Found two Obongo supporters and gave them the news yesterday. They wanted the idiot in the Whitehouse [sic], they reap the benefits."
Contacted by The Tribune Thursday, Lee said he picked the two employees in large part on the basis of their politics.
"They were Obama supporters. We just knew they were," Lee said. "I implied that sort of tongue and cheek [in the comments section] but there were other issues, too. They were not top performers."
Yes someone that uses racist terminology and lacks the critical thinking skills to understand a healthy workforce is essential for productivity fired two employees based solely on their political beliefs. And then bragged about it to the press as if it were something to be proud of. As if abject ignorance and racism were things to be proud of.
And get this he owns a forensics company.
