FOX: A Colorado nurse has filed a lawsuit saying she was fired over her support for Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Lizzy Mathews, 65, of Lakewood, filed a suit in U.S. District Court Denver on Jan. 11 against Kelly Torres, nursing manager, and Marc Fedo, director of acute nursing, at the Denver Health Medical Center. The suit calls for Mathews to get her job back, along with back pay and punitive damages for the emotional pain she has suffered since losing her job.
The lawsuit alleges Mathews’ firing stems from a Sept. 10, 2016 incident, when she was attending to a patient who had once been a high-ranking employee at the hospital.
After the patient questioned Mathews on who she thought would win the presidential election, the suit claims, Mathews said she wanted Trump, and added that she was “praying for him.” The patient replied, “Oh no, I don’t want him.”
Mathews said she then received a call from Torres three days later, and was told that the patient had complained about her conversation about the election. Mathews was also questioned whether she asked the patient to read the Bible – a charge which she denied. more here
Sounds like Miss Lizzy’s retirement plan will be looking up. Good for her.
Hope she gets as much as some of the invoices they hand out. That should keep her set for life.
I hope she wins!
SNIFF BAIT AND SWIM AWAY!
You don’t have to answer every questions asked of you. Who you vote for is personal, and there are ways of just not answering. People should know better in this society than to answer loaded questions like that. It’s not worth the hassle, and that’s what they are trolling for.
If you are injured near that hospital have the ambulance drive you to different one.
Anyone involved in direct patient care knows better than to EVER talk to an administrator. Jus’ sayin’.
See how deep the water is before you dive….
