Fox News host praises disgraced CEO for mass firing of 900 employees: 'I loved this so much'

Vishal Garg, CEO of the online mortgage company Better.com, is now admitting that he handled things badly during a mass firing on Wednesday, December 1. That day, during a Zoom call, Garg brought around 900 employees together online and announced that all of them were being fired — a move he now admits has “embarrassed” the company. But Fox News’ Emily Compagno is not only defending Garg — she is outright praising him for the mass firing.

During a December 8 broadcast of “Outnumbered” — which features mostly or entirely female panels and is often described as a right-wing version of “The View” — Compagno insisted that Garg had nothing to apologize for. The attorney told others on the panel, which also included host Harris Faulkner and Lisa Kennedy Montgomery (the former MTV veejay known for hosting “Kennedy” on Fox Business), “I loved this, actually. I loved this so much…. So, for me, good riddance. And I feel bad that he’s now having to capitulate to the other execs at this company and apologize for it. Sorry guys, bye!”

Compagno, who is never shy about making over-the-top comments to drive ratings, added, “For all of them, they’re snowflakes. They’re probably Millennials and Zs. They need to learn work ethic.”

Hey Compagno...how in the fuck did you get your job, did you go to some school to learn and be taught in how to be a fucking troll....and then you have these other trolls from some show called "outnumbered" come on and say that they are shocked that you said this....the same bunch that has disparaged average working americans everyday and treated them like idiots, while you and them make millions.....at the rupurch murdoch bs factory.....and then come next week your going to harping about liberals trying to take away christmas.....grr:

who were fired will not have a merry Christmas -- but Vishal Garg will by using the corporate savings to pay for his bonus.

reason for this woman to hate them even more. She might as well just tell them to get off his lawn which I'm sure her viewership would love.

Fox news and right wing media have elevated being a crass, ant-social human being into a character arc. The easy road to infamy and cash money.

These clowns all want to out do each other to be the next Lauren Bohbert or Gosar or Gaetz or Greene or Gohmert or Nazi Bitch or Hannity or down-the-sewer we swirl...

She is a lousy actress, playing a stupid role poorly. Yet that will be enough to cash out with an unearned pile of cash, built on the human misery of others - the true coin of the GOP realm.
