There is a lot of money to be made in the Hate Industry I guess.

EDIT: Also hilarious that she's trying to assert that she has rights as a worker despite being a far right wacko.

As hypocritical as she is, I think she might have an actual case here?

Beck can come up with any number of reasons for letting her go that would make her termination legal... Unless he's dumb enough to argue that he fired her due to her views on abortion.

That's perfectly legal as well. Political views are not a protected class.

Only thing he can't do is say "I fired her because she's a woman".

Tomi, sadly, is getting ready to learn first hand what that cornerstone of bullshit, republican, employment policy; at will employment, really is...

(Cue the James Franco, "So good" video clip...)
 
Maybe their collision will create a stellar force so powerful, it makes black holes look like church. One that is capable of dragging every other right wing pundit.

We do not know what the terms of her contact with Beck's company are. Her contact supersedes any at-will laws unless that was specifically noted.

Remember when Glenn Beck went on Samantha Bee and apologized for radicalizing the Right and how we should listen and respect both sides of the aisle? That was weird.

Does anyone know her opinion on at-will employment? Or does she only make videos for the conservative chattering classes?

She has an employment contract for a set period. She's not at will. That's why Beck hasn't outright fired her. But Lahren is claiming that he has in esssence.

Regardless of our view on the people involved what do the internet lawyers think of this. Does she have a case here.

Sam got played hard there. Because as it was proven, Beck never meant shit what he said there, and won by getting air time on her show.
