Hannity Reveals That Obamacare Hotline Operator Who Took His Call Got Fired

When a woman named Erling Davis answered the phone on Monday afternoon, she had no idea she’d become a player in Sean Hannity‘s attempt to call the Obamcare hotline and grill an employee with questions about the website’s rollout. Not only that, but as Hannity revealed on Thursday afternoon, she had no idea that phone call would also lead to her being fired.

As a result, the conservative radio host has gifted the mother of two a year’s tax-free salary of $26,000 and has promised to help her find a new job.

Hannity brought Davis on his show this afternoon to detail her firing. She explained that the morning after the fateful phone call, she was escorted to an HR meeting and told she would be released. The reason? “Contact with the media is not allowed,” Davis said.

According to the former operator, she was never told during her initial training that she is forbidden from taking calls from the media. “I was just out here trying to help everybody,” she told Hannity.

So I wouldn't be shocked that they would fire someone for little or no reason at all, because they can.
